Will you please tell me about lesbian, b-f, ftm, etc movies you have enjoyed.

[iamkeri1]

Hi y'all
A recent visit from a friend enlightened me to the fact that I have missed out on many great films I would really like to see. I'd really appreciate it if you would recommend your favorites.

Thanks so much for your help.
Smooches,
Keri

[CherryFemme]

Oh do I have a lesbian film for you to watch---

Claire of the Moon

But Wait-- You mentioned the word "enjoy" and I would not say that I "enjoyed" this film very much per se...but it is a lesbian film.

This film was a "must see" for all new housemates in the Santa Cruz Radical Lesbian Seperatist Commune*** that I lived in when I was very young.

If you decide to watch it, you may want to include a bottle of Jack to help you get through it.

Another radical lesbian seperatist movie that the commune had on hand was.... Salmonberries. Again, I reccomend you watching this with a bottle of your favorite spirit.

This film is a must-see for all KD Lang fans who always wanted to see her naked.

:)

~CF

***(before you judge me too harshly, please know that yes, I was kicked out because I was busted wearing lipstick/heels that were in serious violation of radical lesbian policy-- not to mention the tg butch who was in the early stages of transition who I began dating. Again, I was very young.)

[betenoire]

I thought this movie was kinda interesting:

4JZYxC1TJAI

and besides, who doesn't like the circus?

[Arwen]

I loved "Desert Hearts".

"Clare of the Moon" would take more than one bottle of Jack for me to watch again. I actually paid money to see that awful thing. UGH

[betenoire]

Oh, and I'm not going to lie. I genuinely LOVE this movie:

X_yjuTaRGx4

And the soundtrack is fucking awesome.

(No, it's not specifically a "lesbian movie". But it IS a really rad movie!)

I've never seen this, but always meant to.

I hated this movie:

VLRCk7s4M8I

Oh god, I remember all of my friends were like "you haaaaave to see this movie! the fingernail clipping scene is soooooo hot." I just really -really- hated it.

But, you know. Clearly lots of people liked it - so there's a chance that you might. :)

We had the same friends. I had to watch the stupid fingernail clipping scene too-- over and over and over. My friends kept re-winding "the clipping" scene and freaking out. You would have thought that Lancelot just found the holy grail.


Did you see Heavenly Creatures?

~CF

[betenoire]

lOnM3Ttaxv8

Nick owns and loves the hell out of this movie. I thought it was sweet, but I don't know that I could watch it over and over again or anything. I DO love me some Sharon Gless, though.

~~~

S5MQDdU3EzU

It's worth a watch (it's not specifically a lesbian movie, but it's relevant). I LOVE Ally Sheedy. The movie was pretty good - although it's also part of what prompted my "oh my god, can someone please make a queer movie where the women aren't total assholes or on drugs and nobody dies or has a hidden agenda?" meltdown. ;)

~~~

MxS3znIIzfQ

Worth watching for the reference to what Little Sister's (Queer bookstore in Vancouver) was dealing with at the time this movie was made. Also super fun = Maggie's angel outfit, the mom cracking open every vibrator she can find in search for more batteries, and "I'm Not A Fucking Drag Queen".

~~~

Yn8dlxH9L-M

It's been a long time, so I can't remember how much I genuinely liked this movie. I DO remember that when I saw it that it met my "post teenage angst" needs quite nicely, that I liked the soundtrack, and that the girl with the pink hair was my hero

[betenoire]

Did you see Heavenly Creatures?

~CF



Yeah, I saw Heavenly Creatures. I never got the impression that the two young women were -actually- lesbians...I just thought that they were unhealthy. And I mean, obviously they were unhealthy. Holy shit.

I really love Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey, though. I don't think I've ever not liked anything that either of them has ever done. (was that grammatically sensible??)

[CherryFemme]

Solid performance and I enjoyed the writing on an event that was based on a true story.

Ok-- How about Gia?

I keep waiting for someone to mention "A Girl Thing".

*sigh* I was very sad when I watched that movie. I wanted it to be something it was not. I kept waiting for "the butch" to enter a scene and they never did. Very Disappointing. C-



~CF

[dykeumentary]

Catherine Deneueve and Susan Sarandan doing it in "The Hunger."

Ok, I will be honest, Catherine Deneuve and/or Susan Sarandan doing anything in anything is hot, but doing it with each other is mind boggling! (then toss in David Bowie and Ann Magnusen... )*fans self*

[CherryFemme]

[QUOTE=betenoire;300880]
ALLY SHEEDY and HIGH ART
~~~

LOL I watched this ONLY because Ally Sheedy was in it. I think I had a left-over crush on her from "The Breakfast Club".

The ending was very "Children's Hour" -ish. Again, another let down. I wanted Ally to end up differently and be a hell of a lot stronger. She started out well, but in the end, I give this one a C-.

I've actually never seen Gia all the way through, if you can believe it. I keep TRYING to watch it but for some reason it never works out. (Like I get distracted, or the phone rings, or I fall asleep, or or or.) Besides, I cannot STAND Angelina Jolie. :(

I've also never seen A Girl Thing. Or heard of it, wow.

You know, my favourite movies that I consider "Queer" movies aren't even necessarily queer - if that makes sense. Like Foxfire, for example. It's about young women figuring their shit out and taking care of themselves and each other and growing up - it's just the sort of thing that speaks to the little bi-dyke in me in a way that movies that are actually ABOUT being Queer never can/do.

And besides (re: Foxfire) Jenny Shimizu is so hot that I could just about crawl right out of my skin. ;)

Ok-- that was a good one. Good call.

I mean, who would not want to do Catherine Deneueve?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Along the lines of "But I'm A Cheerleader" ~~ "Oranges are not the only Fruit"

I enjoyed the drama, but... I enjoyed the book more.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Speaking of Books I enjoyed more...
"Tipping the Velvet"

But the movie was still played out pretty well... I am not slamming it as much as I am Claire of the Moon... then again, blackboot HATED it.

Movies, like art, are subjective.

~CF

[betenoire]

And I know that these are "boy movies" but they're actually both pretty great:

Fw8s2TGeJSY

This is one of my favourite movies. I can't help it.

Best line ever: "Are you saying that my Nino is banging your Angelo?" "No, I'm saying it's the other way around!"

P2SSmdVvOg4

Okay, it's not fantastic. But I have a real soft spot for the 80s -and- "coming of age" movies, so...

Besides: Bonus points for Lea DeLaria!

oooo if we are going review Gay boy flicks, we totally need to include Jeff Stryker’s Underground 1997 and can I add something by Peter North? <wink>

Oh wait, I think we are deviating off topic here...

ok-- back to Keri's Request:

Remember these?

1. Southern Comfort
2. Sir: Just a Normal Guy
3. Venus Boys (or was it Venus Boyz-- I forget)

Oh oh oh-- and Hedwig and the Angry Inch? I mean, hey... if we are brainstorming at midnight...

You mentioned soundtracks... I still play my "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" soundtrack when I go on roadtrips to North Shore. (ops..once again, deviating off topic, but I think there is a reference to a lesbian someplace in the film?)

Ok-- my last post before I pass out from exhaustion... I saw a couple of really great flicks through the Tranny Fest (San Francisco Transgender Film Festival) but I cannot find their titles. It would be another great place to look for films tho'.

XXOO,
~CF

Night Bet.

[betenoire]

Goodnight, Cherry. :) I'm outta here for the night too.

[dykeumentary]

"Muriel's Wedding" is one of my favorite all-time movies. Especially delicious because I see it as "queer," although the plot is superficially "straight." Remember those years in the 90s when Australian film was so fabulous?

[iamkeri1]

Oh HELL to the yes on that! :)

Oh Hell to the yes is soo right, but I get Susan Sarandon!!! She cannot possible be un-hot. I have seen her in roles that played by others would have been gross ... but by her, the are Hot hot hot. mmm mmm mmm

Now give me that fan!!! (Oh! Sorry - forgot to say "please.") :drool:
Smooches,
Keri

[SelfMadeMan]

Some must-sees (IMHO) from the Trans genre...

Soldier's Girl - It's hard to watch, it's a true story about a soldier who falls in love with a transwoman, not for the faint of heart, but very well done and an important story.

QrGPxOOk4hI

Normal - I've watched this movie soooo many times and love it. And it makes me get that painful lump in my throat every time. You HAVE to see this if you haven't already - Jessica Lange and Tom Wilkinson are both incredible in this.

DdWur61dvqI

Boys Don't Cry - Most of you have probably seen this, but can't make a list without it.

aOarssJWHhI

And a wonderful, sad, but important documentary if you haven't seen it.
Southern Comfort, the story of a man killed by an ignorant medical establishment.

[greenheart]

I love this Television soap opera in United Kingdom "Bad Girls" season 1-4. with helen and nikki as the main character. i fall in love with this movie because their acting are natural.i got hooked with this movie. i wish somebody will give me the DVD version of this movie and send it to me here in the Philippines. and i love also the book "Bad Girls The Inside Story."

[Queerasfck]

My favorite is "The incredible True Adventures of Two Girls in Love." I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet. True, it's light weight fun most of the time.

Great writing, and I love that a true hard core butch relative Randy Dean lives with. Representin'

[Pixie]

Bound
Boys Don't Cry

Tipping the Velvet

That movie was super great! Toni Collette is a super fun actress. (I love United States of Tara so much). I like her in Connie and Carla a LOT. I don't know how more people aren't obsessed with her.

[JustJo]

This might not be what you were looking for....but, for me, this one is what it's all about....

WcgAh3WNX9g&feature=related

[foxyshaman]

Bound - fanning self -

Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly . I would watch Jennifer watching paint dry. Yum. Still one of my all time favorite movies.

There is a great documentary called "The Celluloid Closet", interesting to see how the gay/lesbain world has been portrayed in movies throughout movie history.

[Gemme]

Oh, and I'm not going to lie. I genuinely LOVE this movie:

X_yjuTaRGx4

I love, love, LOVED But I'm a Cheerleader. Go Fish was okay. Slow, but okay.

I haven't seen Boys Don't Cry. I've made active choices not to. It's just one of those movies that I know what happened and that's enough. I don't need to see it played out.

I got angry and sad with Southern Comfort. Such a stupid system we live in.

I absolutely LOVED If These Walls Could Talk 2 but couldn't find a trailer so there is a clip from each time frame:

[maryam]

I think it's really important to plug the fluffy stuff too! Because so much of "our" theater is still so incredibly grim. Every movie mentioned above that I've seen (I haven't seen all of them, mind you) has got these incredibly moving and "important" themes, scenes and stuff. It almost seems like every LGBTQ movie has to have a deeper, meaningful part that Must Be There Or Else. I seriously think it's a hold over from the gay and lesbian pulp fiction era, where the only way to get your book published was if it didn't have a happy ending. I will wrack my brain and try to remember the source for that bit, but, it's been about 20 years since I took the class where we covered it. But basically, from what I remember, the reason that these novels didn't get a happy ending is because they couldn't actively promote an "an unhealthy" or "sick" relationship. If the lesbians fell in love, they had to lose their love in the end. Via murder, suicide or sanitarium or whatever. It's kind of ironic that pulp fiction is one of the places where the BF dynamic appears regularly.

So that's why I think we have so many heavily emotional lesbian movies and television. And it's really quite sad. I think movies like "Boys Don't Cry" and such are a good thing to have around, but I'd love to see a good, BF or lesbian RomCom someday. Bring on the fluff! Loving women doesn't make us tragic, and it's time that media started to understand that as well.

Sorry if I'm not making sense tonight. I'm pretty tired so I'm probably falling into bed soon and I'll come back in the morning and be all "dude, what was I trying to say here?"

[MarquisdeShey]

I love love this movie.

I grew up with Go Fish. I remember when Go Fish, Desert Hearts, etc. was all we had for a while. I worked at a Blockbuster Video and there was a knowing look, a smile and a nod whenever I rang up anyone with these movies.

Another one that overall is funny, but I have mixed feelings about the ending for the lead character.

To help find movies, here is the YouTube movie trailer thread for Wolfe Video, a major distributor for LGBT films: https://www.youtube.com/user/WolfeVideo/videos?view=0

[GretaGable]

Some of my faves:

1. Desert Hearts--I think it's just one of the most beautiful love stories ever made. I showed it to an ex-girlfriend and she thought it was very sexy--and she royally cracked up when Vivian said, "I'm not taking my bathrobe off." (Yeah, we all know how long that lasted)

2. Saving Face--Adorable story of Asian lesbians.

3. But I'm a Cheerleader--Adorable and wryly humorous at the same time. True story: In college I worked at a video store that rented this title; a lady brought it back demanding a refund because, in her words, "I thought it was about cheerleading, not lesbians!"

4. Cynara--A lot of lesbians hate this, but I love Victorian films and culture and I loved the words and imagery presented in this very unique film.

5. When Night is Falling--Beautiful, sexy and very arty.

One I hated:

1. The Killing of Sister George: This perpetually drunk older actress loses her job on a TV show, as well as her hot but really cray cray girlfriend, who carries a doll around with her and talks to it a lot. Yeah, I've heard that this film was one of the earliest depictions of lesbian life; but groundbreaking doesn't equal remotely enjoyable. It gave me nightmares, I hated it.

[GretaGable]

Oh Hell to the yes is soo right, but I get Susan Sarandon!!! She cannot possible be un-hot. I have seen her in roles that played by others would have been gross ... but by her, the are Hot hot hot. mmm mmm mmm

Such an amazing, sexy woman. When I watched Bull Durham I wanted to see her hook up with her young female protégé--I loved it when she told her, "We all deserve to wear white." When I watched Thelma and Louise I wanted her to hook up with Geena Davis. When I watched Stepmom I wanted her to hook up with Julia Roberts, OK, just kidding on the last one.:)

[MsBluem]

But I'm a Cheerleader is a perennial favorite for me.


I also really enjoy Better than Chocolate. Haven't seen it in years though.

[EnderD_503]

Facing Mirrors is one of the most intense films I've ever seen and I definitely recommend it. It's the story of an Iranian transguy, his friendship with a female taxi driver and his struggle with family.

Oh! and this year at Inside Out we saw this Lesbian Shorts thing that had a sports theme. All the short films in it were good, but there was this great one called Aquaporko that was about a queer fat femme synchronised swimming group from Australia. It was a lot of fun and really cool, and would definitely recommend if it tours a queer film festival near you.
"Aquaporko! is the story of Melbourne's fat femme synchronized swim team who are sculling, egg-beating and high-kicking toward their first-ever live performance. Filmmaker and fat activist Kelli Jean Drinkwater follows the team and uncovers a world of sisterhood, queer community and radical body politics."

[Roman]

Some of my favorites are films that I can enjoy watching over and over again. Life Partners is a recent and surprisingly good film. In addition, I really liked The Kids Are Alright. To me, these films all feature well-developed characters who just happen to be queer. It's nice to see films that show that lgbt people are just like everyone else. They face the same lows and highs in life regardless of gender or orientation.

"The Crying Game"

[MsTinkerbelly]

We watched "Liz in September" last night.

The movie is done in Spanish, with English subtitles. I wish the movie had been twice as long...the characters cried out to be examined thoroughly!

The movie was sweet and somewhat innocent, with very little nudity.

Big thumbs up!

Saving Face 2004

A Chinese-American lesbian and her traditionalist mother are reluctant to go public with secret loves that clash against cultural expectations.

[*Anya*]

The first lesbian movie have I really enjoyed in a long time (where one did not die of a dread disease or something terrible happening) was one I just saw recently:

Below Her Mouth.

One is more androgynous and one femme.

The sex is very realistic and hot. I think they are far better than the sex scenes in Blue is the Warmest Color.

Overall, it was very good.

[Esme nha Maire]

I recently saw a French film subtitled in English called Gazon Maudit, which roughly translates to "Cursed Lawn" (The English release was called "French Twist" for some reason, although why on earth they didn't call it 'Queering the pitch", which nicely translates the sentiment of the original French, IMO, I've no idea!).

At first I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy the film - it's certainly not perfect - but after a bit I took to it. Me oh my, my libido was like the donkey caught between two bales of hay! I was very surprised to learn, later, that neither female lead is lesbian. Yes, yes, I know, acting. Well, damn! (chuckle)

Well, yeah Tilly...who cares about Gershon ;)



LOL. Yes, that would be. Did you like the movie?

i rewatched it this morning with Mr. Jenny and she felt it kind of dragged after the countess left. I am interested in the Protestant Reformation and familiar with the philosophers and clerics who show up so I had not noticed a drag when i watched it by myself

Jenny's Wedding (2015) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3289712/

I watched this today also. Was wishing my parents could see it – it actually makes them look good. They behaved much better than the parents in the movie!

JENNY'S WEDDING was on Showtime when I got home. I re-watched the last half because it was followed by DE-LOVELY, which I adore. It's not in line with the genre requested by the OP, but I wonder if anybody else in here liked it...

Everyone deserves a great love story. But for Simon it's complicated: no-one knows he's gay and he doesn't know who the anonymous classmate is that he's fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, scary and life-changing.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post

Emily M. Danforth’s coming-of-age novel is gearing up to receive the movie treatment it deserves. Circa 1993, after teenage girl Cameron Post (Chloë Grace Moretz) is caught during a sexual encounter with a girl on prom night, she is forced into gay conversion therapy by her conservative aunt. Ultimately, Cameron comes to terms with being a lesbian, defies the camp’s methods to reeducate her, and finds a close-knit gay community along the way. The film’s recent Sundance premiere was met with incredible reception, and even walked away with the festival’s U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize. A committed ally, Chloë Grace Moretz dedicated the award to the LGBTQ survivors of sexual conversion therapy, hoping that her film will bring more awareness to the issue.
