Movie recs
In response to a tumblr post, I compiled a list of my favorite non-angsty queer films. Here it is!
M/M
F/F
and more!
(films that aren't rom-coms but aren't serious dramas either)
M/M
- Four More Years - conservative politician/liberal politician, super slashy feel (when I learned it was written & directed by a woman I realized that was probably a big factor in why I liked it so much)
- Bear City - cub/glam bear, super sweet romcom
- Plan B - straight guy / bi guy, fake-flirting-turned-real
F/F
- D.E.B.S - secret agent / international jewel thief, my favorite movie of all time!!
- Leading Ladies - established dancer / newbie dancer, cute!
- The Sleeping Beauty of East Finchley - friendly nurse / shy singer, uplifting
- Bloomington - professor/student, nice slashy vibe and geeky subplot
- Who's Afraid of Vagina Wolf? - filmmaker/camera woman, lots of art feels
- Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same - shop clerk/space alien, fun mash-up of indie film & 50s sci-fi
and more!
(films that aren't rom-coms but aren't serious dramas either)
- Madame X - fantastic action flick featuring drag queen superheroes
- Bite Marks - lo-fi vampire horror comedy featuring gay hitchhikers
- The Baby Formula - fun premise! a lesbian couple try out an experimental technology to combine their genes but for reasons of plot they both end up pregnant at the same time!
- Private Romeo - this is the angstiest one on the list (it's a Romeo & Juliet AU set in a military high school) but it's fantastic! and it's got a happy/hopeful ending so I'm including it anyway
- Britney Baby One More Time - cross-dressing road trip shenanigans
- Yes Nurse No Nurse - gorgeously camp remake of a children's show
- Wu Yen - Hong Kong period comedy starring three female actresses as: the warrior princess, the emperor who loves her, and the gender-switching fairy spirit who tries to seduce them both!
