Will you please tell me about lesbian, b-f, ftm, etc movies you have enjoyed.
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 |
Lesbian Movie List
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.) |
I thought this movie was kinda interesting:
and besides, who doesn't like the circus? |
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 |
Oh, and I'm not going to lie. I genuinely LOVE this movie:
And the soundtrack is fucking awesome. (No, it's not specifically a "lesbian movie". But it IS a really rad movie!) |
Exidos

(My mother was really into Exidos International, need I say more?) ~CF |
Ugh, Cherry. That's hard. :(
~~~ I've never seen this, but always meant to. |
I hated this movie:
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 |
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. ~~~ 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. ;) ~~~ 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". ~~~ 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 |

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??) |
Quote:
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 |
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* |
Movie Notes
[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". 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. ;) 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 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 |
And I know that these are "boy movies" but they're actually both pretty great:
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!" ~~~ 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. |
Goodnight, Cherry. :) I'm outta here for the night too.
