the straight (or even gay males) movies i've watched during my whole life definitely outnumber the lesbian ones,
so i was wondering, do you know of any good lesbian themed movie?

but yeah, feel free to use this thread to recommend LGBTQ movies in general 

[overratedtoejam]

amour de femme
all over me (gotta love leisha hailey )
high art
tipping the velvet (bbc 3 part series - very good!)
fingersmith (another bbc)
show me love (very good swedish film)
itty bitty titty committee
naissance des pieuvres ("water lilies" in america)

that's all i could think of right now, hope it helped!

ps - i know you've already seen "naissance des pieuvres" but in case somebody looks at this list for reference. see it, it's good. (the french always do it good )

[slyvia k]

yay, thanks. i'll check those out

i also already saw high art, i quite liked it.
and yes, la naissance des pieuvres
oh and salmonberries

[Captain Oblivious]

But I'm a Cheerleader is the only one I've seen

[Agonistes]

the problem with les bean movies is that they are so.  damn.  depressing.  and before like 1995 or something they always ended in death and unrequited love.




'incredibly true adventures of two girls in love'

'if these walls could talk 2' (premium channel movie)


the former is actually a pretty cute, funny movie and the latter is pretty damn good, if it does have its tragic moments.


avoid 'go fish' and 'personal best,' trust me.  'salmonberries' almost killed me, as well.

[CeeGBee]

Does Chasing Amy count?

[Half Mar]

Lost and Delirious.

[Agonistes]

Does Chasing Amy count?

no, but 'bound' does.  so does 'showgirls.'

[overratedtoejam]

Does Chasing Amy count?

no, but 'bound' does.  so does 'showgirls.'

i forgot about bound! it's a great movie.

[Pope Totalfrog]

Better than Chocolate. It is one of my favourite movies.

Fingersmith and Tipping the Velvet are pretty damn good too (although Mr Frog has labelled them Sheri's crazy cockney lesbian collection)

And Because I'm a Cheerleader is awesome and funny and sweet.

[imaginary friend]

Even Cowgirls Get The Blues

...oh, wait - you said good movies.

[Agonistes]

there is also a documentary out which is, in fact, pure pornography, called 'she stole my voice' which is--ostensibly--about lesbian rape.  the staged scenes are, like i said, pretty much bad porn though.  kinda makes the documentary part seem a little silly, considering the acting quality and the lack of ability to facilitate willful suspension of disbelief.

Even Cowgirls Get The Blues

...oh, wait - you said good movies.

tom robbins, man.  that alone makes it good, right?


well, the book was good, anyway.

oh god, i saw it a couple of years ago and it was so... odd.

the big thumb. x_x


and yeah, salmonberries is really really really depressing. but the music and setting alone make it a masterpiece.

[slyvia k]

and thanks dearies, i'll start downloading like a crazy lady

ha, i only watched it a couple of weeks ago. eskimo scene was weird as fuck. many scenes were really weird / random.
and i was a bit freaked cause KD in the movie looked exactly like this slightly deranged lesbian who used to stalk me / follow me around town, uhmmm.
although my stalker was fucking ugly. cause i guess vaguely attractive people don't become stalkers.

[imaginary friend]

Hopefully, this one isn't too hard to find:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZr6N_ABr8s

again, i still have no idea what the movie is about, even....something about a four hundred year old german woman in alaska who ran off with a coal-miner dyke or something to germany.  although i do know that although i have been called 'sir' before, i never felt the need for surprise nudity to explain the situation.

[slyvia k]

i just watched bound cause it was the fastest to d/l.

lesbians AND mafia  uahaha. pretty cool, a bit splatter but yeah....

[SeeAnne]

If These Walls Could Talk.

[Agonistes]

i just watched bound cause it was the fastest to d/l.

lesbians AND mafia  uahaha. pretty cool, a bit splatter but yeah....

i can imitate jennifer tilly's voice for almost every line of that movie.  the best way to crack up my girlfriend is to look at her and husk, 'corky do you wanna see mah tattoo'

she always sounds like herself, but it's a little more husky for 'bound.'

ps - i know you've already seen "naissance des pieuvres" but in case somebody looks at this list for reference. see it, it's good. (the french always do it good )

if you can't find "show me love" under that name, you should try looking for "fucking Åmål", which is the original title
i also agree on lost and delirious (what mar said)
fingersmith and tipping the velvet, they're all ace

[Hush]

I'm seconding Fucking Åmål, But I'm A Cheerleader!, Fingersmith and Naissance des Pieuvres, and adding Imagine Me and You and Loving Annabelle to the list.

[stallionbreaker]

I vote that you see "Imagine Me & You" and "Better than Chocolate", and perhaps also "Foxfire" even though it's only subtly lesbian, just because it's a young Angelina Jolie (and the one woman she's confirmed having dated).

[slyvia k]

i saw the ittle bitty titty committee today. it was okay. i wasn't really into the main character so yeah

the other one that has already downloaded is 'all over me'. uhm young leisha hailey. i might watch it tonight. then taking a 4 day pause from lesbo movies to actually desperately study 24/7  :'(

[Agonistes]

holy hell i totally forgot about foxfire.  the only movie wherein i find the act of tattooing hot as freakin hell.  even if they are all sharing a needle with a street urchin.

[J_Beck]

But I'm a Cheerleader is amazing if just for the aesthetic, everything is baby blue or powder pink, and the backgrounds are just painted backdrops much of the time.

[tw2113]

only one I can think of offhand is Kissing Jessica Stein. Can't recall much for regarding the quality, might have to torrent it.

[jupiter or japan]

Yes, book good, movie bad. Though I'll watch it just for Uma, because even with huge ass thumbs she is the sex!

[Sarah Doll]

I vote that you see "Imagine Me & You" and "Better than Chocolate", and perhaps also "Foxfire" even though it's only subtly lesbian, just because it's a young Angelina Jolie (and the one woman she's confirmed having dated).

I agree with "Imagine Me & You". Piper Perabo is awesome!! Love her!
Plus it's got Matthew Goode & Anthony Stewart Head!

There's a Korean film called "A Bizarre Love Triangle"/"Taekwon Girl" that's supposed to be worth checking out, not wonderful, but worth a look.

[Andy Pants]

the problem with les bean movies is that they are so.  damn.  depressing. 

Yeah, but you can say the same of films about gay males. Brokeback Mountain wasn't exactly a barrel of laughs.

I sometimes wonder how a film about a perfectly like-able gay couple who end up absolutely okay at the end would go over.

[JohnnyDBBUK]

lol bound is awful...

[slyvia k]

lol bound is awful...

i think it's in the 'movies so bad that they're good' category 

but i should have guessed the type of movie from the cover of the movie ''sex and crime forever'' lol

well, there are some, actually; even brokeback mountain was something of a throwback, following some of the more positive movies that it has.  i'm trying to think of a specific title that escapes me, but in the end, the guy got the guy, so to speak; in other words it had a happy ending.  it seems, too, there were also a lot more gay guy films all along, including many that were more mainstream, higher production, and so on.

the celluloid closet is a really good documentary movie about teh gay in films since films were a possibility.  it lists just about anything you can think of, and follows the trends in movies through complete ignorance of blatantly sissy characters to current (well, nineties) movies.  i found a lot of good film titles i'd missed before, or just never known about.

yes, so bad it's good.

[Mette]

I Can't Think Straight!!!!!!!

My all time favorite lesbian movie, much due to Lisa Ray, hehehe. 


Does Gia count as a lesbian movie? Angelina Jolie certainly have sex with whatsherface in it, Elizabeth Mitchell. (I checked haha)

[JohnnyDBBUK]

I Can't Think Straight!!!!!!!

please tell me that was an intentional pun. 

[Mette]

hahaha it probably is.
It's a great movie though!

[slyvia k]

thanks for the suggestion 


and what about v for vendetta? i've never seen it...

[Captain Oblivious]

thanks for the suggestion 


and what about v for vendetta? i've never seen it...

There is a lesbian storyline in V for Vendetta, but it's sort of a side storyline, it just mentions that a girl was a lesbian and she was punished for it. Basically.

Although you should watch V for Vendetta regardless

Read the graphic novel, I'm pretty sure the lesbian side story is not in it (its been 2years since i've read it)
and also Evi was not heading to see stephen fry but was out soliciting when the fingermen assault her.

[Mette]

There's also a movie called Gray Matters. I think it's cute, but as with very many other lesbian movies, it's not exactly that good

the lesbian side story is in it, yes.  i have a copy of the novel on my computer.

I wanna see an lgbt movie where none of the actors are skinny and beautiful. I wanna see average/normal mother fuckers on my mother fucking screen.

[Agonistes]

that is the exact reason i don't watch the l word.  i don't want to see hot les beans, i want to see ones who look like me.  because that's what most of em look like, not like skinny lil model-girls.

[AvatarOfAmbiguity]

Coming late to the conversation, and it looks like all the ones I'd recommend have already been recommended, except perhaps Antonia's Line, which isn't so much a specifically lesbian film as it has a storyline in it.

There's also Fire, and Aimee and Jaguar, Hours, Love My Life, Ma Vie En Rose, and Transamerica. There was also an episode of The Listener that had a trans theme, but I'm not sure I'd list it as good.


On a side note, Dirty Martini is onscreen in the background for like, 3 seconds in one of the club scenes in Short Bus, which is a nifty little flick, though not lesbian focused. That made me several shades of happy :>

[imaginary friend]

dude, don't bother. the title character is so boring the film stumbles to a stop whenever she's onscreen. too bad, really - the Helen (Helena, maybe?) character fucking rules; a whole movie with her at the center would've been awesome.

Jennifer tilly isn't skinny
