The Best LGBT Films
These are the greatest LGBT films (or LGBT-themed films) that I've seen. In order. To make the list, it had to be primarily LGBT-themed or majorly LGBT-themed, and/or featured a main character who was LGBT and his/her LGBT orientation was a main focal point. This is why certain excellent films such as Capote (9/10) didn't make the list. Yes, Truman Capote was gay, yes he is portrayed as such, yes it shows his partner, BUT the primary focus of the film was Capote's alcoholism and his writing of “In Cold Blood” (and that is FINE, again, it was an EXCELLENT film, just not a LGBT film in my opinion).

While staying with Clive and his wife, Maurice discovers romance in the arms of the gamekeeper Alec.Great performances, a well-made film, and has a happy ending. Tragic endings are VERY common in LGBT cinema, so when a happy ending comes long, it is downright refreshing. Maurice is a classic.

- DirectorMatthew WarchusStarsBill NighyImelda StauntonDominic WestU.K. gay activists work to help miners during their lengthy strike of the National Union of Mineworkers in the summer of 1984.Based on a true story. Unlike "Milk" and "The Normal Heart," Pride is much more upbeat whilst tackling the very serious issues of homophobia and politics. The excellent British cast and British humor make Pride one of the shining stars of LGBT cinema. I dare you not to have a huge smile on your face at the end of this one. Makes you want to get up and cheer.
- DirectorMarielle HellerStarsMelissa McCarthyRichard E. GrantDolly WellsWhen Lee Israel falls out of step with current tastes, she turns her art form to deception.
- DirectorGus Van SantStarsSean PennJosh BrolinEmile HirschThe story of American gay activist Harvey Milk, who fought for gay rights and was elected as California's first openly gay official.Another one of those sad but important LGBT films. Harvey Milk is a hero, and Sean Penn is pitch-perfect as the titular gay rights crusader, complemented by excellent direction from Gus Van Sant and a stellar script by Dustin Lance Black. Also James Franco and Josh Brolin's best performances of their careers.

- DirectorJim SharmanStarsTim CurrySusan SarandonBarry BostwickA newly-engaged couple have a breakdown in an isolated area and must seek shelter at the bizarre residence of Dr. Frank-n-Furter.Incredibly wonky, zany, mess of a film.

- DirectorRyan MurphyStarsMark RuffaloJonathan GroffFrank De JulioIn the early 1980s, the onset of the HIV-AIDS crisis in New York led to an emergence of homosexual activists. With support from the medical community, they try to raise awareness about the disease.Incredibly sad but important film. The 1980s was one of the worst time periods for gay men in America, a time period in which they were completely abandoned by the supposed greatest country in the world. A time period laden with fear, ignorance, and apathy. Mark Ruffalo, Matt Bomer, Joe Mantello, and Julia Roberts deliver perfect performances.

- DirectorJoey KuhnStarsJonathan GordonJason RalphHaaz SleimanOn Manhattan's gilded Upper East Side, a young gay painter is torn between an obsession with his infamous socialite best friend and a promising new romance with an older foreign concert pianist.A "gay Great Gatsby," if you will, Those People is worth watching alone for Jonathan Gordon's phenomenal and nuanced performance as the loyal, sensitive, and sweet Charlie. A film about friendship, growing up, and moving on, Those People is an absolute must-see.
- DirectorKuang-Hui LiuStarsEdward ChenJing-Hua TsengLeon DaiIn 1987, as martial law ends in Taiwan, Jia-han and Birdy fall in love amid family pressure, homophobia and social stigma.
- DirectorPeeter RebaneStarsTom PriorOleg ZagorodniiDiana PozharskayaFirebird follows a handsome, soulful young soldier who embarks on a clandestine sexual affair with a charismatic fighter pilot on a Soviet Air Force Base at the height of 1970's Communist rule.
- DirectorStephan LacantStarsHanno KofflerMax RiemeltAttila BorlanA soon-to-be-father policeman falls for a gay fellow officer and his life starts falling apart.Dubbed the “German Brokeback Mountain,” Free Fall in some ways is actually better than it’s American counterpart. A sequel was supposedly in the works, which would’ve been great because the ending leaves you wanting more.
- DirectorAndrew HaighStarsJonathan GroffFrankie J. AlvarezMurray BartlettPatrick returns to San Francisco in search of closure and resolution regarding his relationships with Richie and Kevin.I was so happy HBO decided to give the TV show "Looking" a proper send-off after announcing the show had been cancelled due to low ratings. Patrick, Dom, Augustín, and Richie deserved more than two seasons, but at least this film gives us the much-needed closure to a superb series that ended too soon.

- DirectorKeith BehrmanStarsJosh WigginsDarren MannTaylor HicksonTwo popular teen boys, best friends since childhood, discover their lives, families, and girlfriends dramatically upended after an unexpected incident occurs on the night of a 17th birthday party.Modern take on the gay coming-of-age film. Doesn’t focus on labels but focuses on how sexuality and growing up is different for everyone. Kyle Maclachlan is excellent here. The ambiguous ending may seem frustrating and incomplete at first, but to wrap it up neatly with a bow would be a disservice to these characters who still have a lot of finding out to do.
- DirectorC. Jay CoxStarsWes RamseySteve SandvossMary Kay PlaceA promiscuous gay party animal falls for a young Mormon missionary, leading to crisis, cliché, and catastrophe.An LGBT favorite among millennials that tackles so many issues (religious intolerance, forbidden love, promiscuity in the gay community) and yet never comes off as preachy. The two stars have great chemistry and the film itself is super-relatable and is the perfect blend of serious and funny. Look out for then-unknown Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the meddling "Elder Paul."
- DirectorDarko StanteStarsMatej ZemljicTimon SturbejGasper MarkunAfter being sent to a youth detention centre, 18-year-old Andrej has to fight for his place within the group of inmates while getting closer to Zeljko, their informal leader, and struggling to keep his repressed secret in the dark.
- DirectorChristophe HonoréStarsVincent LacostePierre DeladonchampsDenis PodalydèsJacques is an older writer from Paris. Arthur is a young student in Rennes. They instantly fall in love. But they'll have to face rejection and sickness to keep it that way.
- DirectorJonah MarkowitzStarsTrevor WrightBrad RoweTina HolmesWhen his college dreams are sidelined by family obligations, a young man finds comfort in surfing with his best friend's brother.If you were to take a survey of the most popular LGBT films among millennials, Shelter would be up very high on the list, and for good reason. Shelter hits all the right notes and gives us a much-needed and welcomed happy ending. The film is a bit plagued by some wooden acting and a sometimes hollow script, but the film is so well-intentioned, and you can tell the actors are really giving it their all. Negatives aside, the film just works. Highly recommended if your LGBT film repertoire is a bit barren. A great film to start with in my opinion.

- DirectorIan Iqbal RashidStarsJimi MistryKris Holden-RiedSuleka MathewA gay Canadian living in London has his perfectly crafted life upset when his devoutly Muslim mother comes to visit.Saw this film by accident, and I'm glad I did. Hidden gem of a film. Very similar plot to Latter Days, but much more upbeat and farcical. Highly recommend this one. In & Out meets Latter Days.
- DirectorFrançois OzonStarsFélix LefebvreBenjamin VoisinPhilippine VelgeWhen 16-year-old Alexis capsizes off the coast of Normandy, 18-year-old David heroically saves him. Alexis has just met the friend of his dreams, who opens his eyes to a new horizon of friendship, art and sexual bliss.

- DirectorFrank OzStarsKevin KlineJoan CusackTom SelleckA midwestern teacher questions his sexuality after a former student makes a comment about him at the Academy Awards.Jovial comedy starring Kevin Kline as a closeted teacher who gets outed by one of his former students. The only caveat: He is just as surprised as everyone else that he is gay! Kevin Kline is as appealing as ever in this upbeat farce. Joan Cusack is brilliantly laugh-out loud funny, and prepare to see Tom Selleck as you have never seen him before! Also includes Matt Dillon, Debbie Reynolds, Wilford Brimley, and Bob Newhart.
- DirectorSimon ShoreStarsBen SilverstoneBrad GortonCharlotte BrittainA tenderly romantic coming-of-age story as two boys in a British school fall in love.
- DirectorMike MillsStarsEwan McGregorChristopher PlummerMélanie LaurentA young man is rocked by two announcements from his elderly father: that he has terminal cancer and that he has a young male lover.Very artsy and very indie. Definitely not for everyone. But how can you not love Christopher Plummer's touching performance as a man who finally becomes free, even though he is an old man dying of cancer? His happiness and "free at last" attitude is so uplifting and inspiring, and shows that it is never too late to become who you are meant to be.
- DirectorTodd HaynesStarsEwan McGregorJonathan Rhys MeyersChristian BaleIn 1984, British journalist Arthur Stuart investigates the career of 1970s glam superstar Brian Slade, who was heavily influenced in his early years by hard-living and rebellious American singer Curt Wild.
- DirectorAndrew NackmanStarsParker YoungEvan ToddChord OverstreetA car mechanic in a small, working class town comes out of the closet to his unsuspecting, blue-collar best friends.Terrific cast with excellent chemistry and some genuinely funny moments, Fourth Man Out is a refreshing gay comedy that I think many would enjoy (even the "manliest" men of this world), thanks to the refreshing and likable performance of Evan Todd as the likable, awkward, car-mechanic Adam and all his goofy, well-meaning, straight "bros."

- DirectorMischa KampStarsGijs BlomKo ZandvlietJonas SmuldersA sexually awakening gay teen athlete finds himself in a budding relationship with his mutually attracted relay race teammate.“Shelter” meets “Get Real.” Boys is formulaic, predictable, and not particularly well-acted. We’ve seen this done (and done better) time and time again and yet I was entertained. Definitely some decent cinematography as well as decent chemistry between the two leads.

- DirectorTommy O'HaverStarsSean HayesBrad RoweArmando Valdes-KennedyBilly is a gay fine-arts photographer who falls in love with straight coffee-shop waiter Gabriel.A super-relatable and charming film. Which gay guy has never fallen for one of his straight friends? Which human being has ever fallen in love with someone they couldn't have? Not a huge Sean Hayes fan but he was good here.

- DirectorSasha KingBrian O'DonnellStarsMatthew FriasCailan RoseLuis Gabriel CañasWhen Benny and Christopher, college freshmen, meet at a football game and fall in love, a tragic event from the past threatens to tear them apart.Extremely unlikely premise, but the movie owns it and ultimately it’s a solid story beginning to end.
