Best Gay/Queer/LGBT/ETC Movies

by thepartyoftea | created - 05 May 2011 | updated - 12 Sep 2017 | Public

Being a gay man and a movie buff I've seen plenty of gay/queer movies. So I decided to rank all the ones I've seen. After making this list I realized I'm lacking in the lesbian movies.. I'll keep updating this list as I see more movies. When this list started it had 69 movies on it.
