In no particular order, what are some of your fav wlw films? (cheesy ones allowed here) let’s have 6-8 movies here
I still remember how imagine me and you made my lady parts tingle 🤭
Okay so it's important to note that I am bad at watching movies so I have not seen most of the fan favorite queer movies of the past almost decade. Because I just havent gotten around to it. But anyway.
CAROL! - Perfect movie. The negative space! The quiet between words! The longing glances! How absolutely weird they both are in very different ways like neither of these people acts in remotely normal ways but it is so romantic and hot!
But I'm a Cheerleader - This one I went to see with my first gay friend in high school lol it has personal significance for that reason it was like the beginning of publicly exploring queerness for me. But it's also just a lot of fun. The soundtrack is great. It's silly but also smart, camp. I love it.
Gia - This movie is technically probably a bad movie? Even in high school when I was obsessively watching my taped-off-HBO copy of it every night I recognized how corny the editing was. But nobody has ever been more beautiful than Angelina Jolie in this movie and I love it and it still makes me cry. I think this movie was very much my gay sexual awakening. like i knew girls were pretty but I watched this and was like... "oh, yeah, no i definitely want to have sex with women".
Fried Green Tomatoes - They tried to make it not-gay but it's still so gay! Ruth Jamison my beloved! One time a girl called me a bee-charmer and that's what made me break the vow of celibacy I took during the 2004 red sox playoff run. We had already won the world series by then but I was still holding out superstitiously like "its worked so well so far!" but i am only human. Also I would eat that barbecue even if it was a human man it really did look good.
The Color Purple (1985) - Again they tried to make it not-gay but again it was still so gay. In a similar way as Fried Green Tomatoes this is like... I'm not sure it's a great adaptation of the source material but it is still a great movie? Everybody in this movie was perfect.
Bound - This was like a forbidden movie for me in my mind for so long because it was SO openly gay and everybody knew about it so it stressed me out? I don't think I let myself watch it until college and then I was mindblown. It's so good. It's good because it's gay and it's good in addition to being gay and the gayness is so wound up in the ways that it is good. Also it's so hot.
Foxfire - Was this gay? I think they kissed in it? But even if they didn't what they had going on was definitely gay. Plus Jenny Shimizu. This movie is quite terrible, like unapologetically pretty bad tbh. But the 90s aesthetic and vibes are charming and again Angelina Jolie was very pretty. I got really mad when I watched it the first time though because I was putting together an art school portfolio and her portfolio was just like scribbling on polaroids and it was so stupid i was like DO A LITTLE RESEARCH I BEG YOU. but hey it was memorable.
Do Revenge - This movie is just a lot of fun. It's gay but I wish it was gayer. Also I wish they got weirder with it earlier in the movie. But ultimately it's just such a good time and the maya hawke/camila mendes press tour was legendary so I can't complain.
but yeah i havent seen, like, almost any recent movies so dont interpret this as me not liking the new movies i just have attention span problems that stop me from watching new things very often.
