| But I'm a Cheerleader (1999)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Funny, cute, campy, kitschy and real-feeling at the same time. Great acting all the way around and an interesting coming of age romp. |
| The Truth About Jane (2001)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Stockard Channing plays the mother of a daughter coming to terms with her sexuality. Your classic "Yikes, my daughter is a lesbian film." Unbearably sappy at times, moving at others (think of the "Lifetime" channel)...worth renting however.. |
| Go Fish (1994)

| I hated this movie but this is a list of lesbian films so there ya have it. |
| The Sex Monster (1999)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Cute. Laughed out loud at some parts. Husband and wife couple decide to have a threesome and the wife starts enjoying women a little too much. Kind of ridiculous but cute in an odd way. |
| Lost and Delirious (2001)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Sexy, tragic and heartwarming. Those of you who went to private school will appreciate this film. |
| The Monkey's Mask (2000)
|
|

|
| Hollywood takes on sapphistry. A typical blockbuster film but nothing to write home about. |
| Aimee & Jaguar (1999)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| One of my favorites. Based on a true story. Extremely moving and heartbreaking tale of soulmates torn apart. Get thee a box of tissues for this one. |
| The Color Purple (1985)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Another favorite. How could any breathing being not enjoy this film? Prominent lesbian background story happening here. Very real, honest and gripping film. |
| Bar Girls (1994)
|
|

|
| I did not like this film either but I had to put it on this list. It was very stereotypical and boring honestly. |
| Show Me Love (1998)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This is one of the few that I haven't seen. I have heard good things about it however. |
| Times Square (1980)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| FABULOUS film about two runaway teens trying to become rock stars in NYC during the eighties. There is some very obvious butch/femme realness in this film. The actress who plays Nicki is phenomenal and her acting is worth watching this film twice. A+++! |
| Bagdad Cafe (1987)
|
|
|

|
| Great film with an oh so subtle lesbian vibe happening. |
| Ellen DeGeneres: The Beginning (2000)

| Ellen DeGeneres...no need to explain. |
| If These Walls Could Talk 2 (2000)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Some great vignettes here. Follows a timeline from the 60's to present that illustrates the progression of gay/lesbian rights. |
| Desert Hearts (1985)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This was an ok movie but nothing to write home about. |
| Thelma & Louise (1991)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Ok maybe there is a subtle lesbian thing happening between them...I like to think so anyway. |
| Better Than Chocolate (1999)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| One of the best lesbian love story films to hit the screen in quite some time. One of those movies you'll want to own. |
| It's In The Water (1997)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Very stereotypical and ridiculous. I don't know what else to say. Maybe if you are overtired and really bored you'll be able to pull out an iota of camp value from this. |
| Wild Things (1998)
|

|
| Big Hollywood does lesbianism again. Steamy but somehow shallow and unfulfilling. |
| Jaded (1996)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Weird, hard to find film that deals with woman-on-woman rape. Very disturbing but riveting none-the-less. Probably the only film that touches on such a subject. |
| Bound (1996)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| One of the best! Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly will make your DVD player melt! One of the best....mafia, suspense and lesbianism in one. |
| Boys on the Side (1995)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Whoopi Goldberg's character is a lesbian in this film and the lesbian subtext weaves it's way throughout the film. It is a touching movie all the way around. A tear jerker too. :( |
| Claire of the Moon (1992)

| Haven't seen this either. It got rave reviews however...it's in my rental queue |
| Gia (1998)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A very good film. Touches on the supermodels affairs with women. Cinematically good but really distorts the facts of Gia's life. Not very fact based. |
| Heavenly Creatures (1994)
|
|
|

|
|
|
| One of my favorite films. HUGE lesbian undertones coupled up with complete psychosis and moving clay figures....a must rent. |
| Sister My Sister (1994)

| Twisted tale of sisterly love. Based on a true story. Another great film. |

| Orlando (1992)

| Not specifically lesbian but deals with gender. Beautifully filmed, amazing soundtrack. This film is so compelling. I own it and watch it at least once a year. Made everyone I know see it....all loved it equally. |
| Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her (2000)

| This film is a great film all the way around. Comprised of vignettes. One of the vignettes features a very heartbreaking, tear inducing story of a lesbian couple. |

| Homo Heights (1998)

|
| An acid trip of a film starring the eccentricly lovable Quentin Crisp. Lea Delaria plays a big old butch lesbian in this film....and a cute one too! |
| Edge of Seventeen (1998)
