Favorite WlW Movies
Hi! Been a minute since I’ve done one of these lists but I just wanted to hop on here again to share some of my favorite wlw movies. I am constantly on the hunt for a good wlw movie to watch because there are so few and far between. So, here’s a list of movies I’ve seen and loved over the years. I hope you find some movies on here that you haven’t seen and decide to give it a watch, and maybe they will bring you the same joy (or heartache) they brought me!
The movies on this list are ranked from #1-5 but are in no particular order after that. Opinions are my own, some of the popular ones aren't on here because...well, I didn't like them! You can find this list on my twitter, they’re continually updated on there. Enjoy! :)
