- DirectorCharles Herman-WurmfeldStarsJennifer WestfeldtHeather JuergensenTovah FeldshuhA woman searching for the perfect man instead discovers the perfect woman.All time fave. I actually think Jessica isn't a lesbian, but rather a biromantic asexual woman but that's just my personal hot take.
- DirectorAlice WuStarsJoan ChenMichelle KrusiecLynn ChenA gay Chinese-American and her traditionalist mother are reluctant to go public with secret loves that clash against cultural expectations.This one is so good <3 <3 I love this movie. This is my kind of movie through and through.
- DirectorCéline SciammaStarsNoémie MerlantAdèle HaenelLuàna BajramiOn an isolated island in Brittany at the end of the eighteenth century, a female painter is obliged to paint a wedding portrait of a young woman.Uff, this shit hits you right in the gut.
- DirectorAlice WuStarsLeah LewisDaniel DiemerAlexxis LemireWhen smart but cash-strapped teen Ellie Chu agrees to write a love letter for a jock, she doesn't expect to become his friend - or fall for his crush.Such a perfect teen drama from G.O.A.T. director of Saving Face, Alice Wu.
- CreatorAziz AnsariAlan YangStarsAziz AnsariEric WareheimLena WaitheThe personal and professional life of Dev, a 30-year-old actor in New York.Season 3 is supposed to be harrowing, I can't wait to see it. I love Lena Waithe's character in the rest of the series – specifically in the episode "Thanksgiving" from Season 1 or 2.
- DirectorPark Chan-wookStarsKim Min-heeHa Jung-wooCho Jin-woongA woman is hired as a handmaiden to a Japanese heiress, but secretly she is involved in a plot to defraud her.This shit is so crazy lol. Just promise me you'll watch it and then let me know what you think.
- DirectorAbdellatif KechicheStarsLéa SeydouxAdèle ExarchopoulosSalim KechioucheAdèle's life is changed when she meets Emma, a young woman with blue hair, who will allow her to discover desire and to assert herself as a woman and as an adult. In front of others, Adèle grows, seeks herself, loses herself, and ultimately finds herself through love and loss.There's a lot of (what some people are saying is) unrealistic-looking lesbian sex in this movie, but as a drama I really love the characters and where the story goes. And the ending guts me. I weep every single time. I'm obsessed. Besides, I think the most sexual thing in the movie isn't even the sex -- it's whenever Adele, the main character, eats spaghetti. The shit is GRAPHIC. Red sauce everywhere. You'll think of me when you see it.
- DirectorTodd HaynesStarsCate BlanchettRooney MaraSarah PaulsonAn aspiring photographer develops an intimate relationship with an older woman in 1950s New York.Ugh, Carol. What can I say about this movie... what a beautiful, sad, lovely movie about how the 50s were just NOT the time to be a lesbian. Lol. I love how this movie looks and feels. Rooney Mara's character is very mousy and Cate Blanchett is a powerhouse. Love them. This movie made me rethink Santa Hats.
- DirectorClea DuVallStarsKristen StewartMackenzie DavisMary SteenburgenA holiday romantic comedy that captures the range of emotions tied to wanting your family's acceptance, being true to yourself, and trying not to ruin Christmas.Sweet coming out romantic comedy. I love a good gay christmas movie. And the ensemble is so good. Directed by queer icon Clea DuVall, who stars in the next movie on this list.
- DirectorJamie BabbitStarsNatasha LyonneClea DuVallMichelle WilliamsA naive teenager is sent to rehab camp when her straitlaced parents and friends suspect her of being a lesbian.ICONIC movie. ICONIC. Incredibly campy, so funny to me, and a movie that stands the test of time. A cultural moment.
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsJennifer TillyGina GershonJoe PantolianoTough ex-con Corky and her lover Violet concoct a scheme to steal millions of stashed mob money and pin the blame on Violet's crooked boyfriend Caesar.People hate this movie for reasons unknown to me. I think it's an amazing thriller, and it happens to be about these two smoking hot lesbians Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly. I don't know how the screen doesn't melt every time this is on tv.
- DirectorCheryl DunyeStarsCheryl DunyeGuinevere TurnerValarie WalkerA young black lesbian filmmaker probes into the life of The Watermelon Woman, a 1930s black actress who played 'mammy' archetypes.Haven't seen this! Can't wait to.

Being without a cliché to hold onto can be a lonely experience.Ugh I love this movie so much. I love Desiree Akhavan. She's so good in it and she wrote it and she directed it. Amazing. Super underrated movie. One of my faves.

Determined not to fall short of their peers, the girls try to cram four years of fun into one night.A perfect high school movie that happens to feature a lesbian protagonist. Hilarious movie. If you want laughs, look no further.
- CreatorAlice OsemanStarsJoe LockeKit ConnorWilliam GaoTeens Charlie and Nick discover their unlikely friendship might be something more as they navigate school and young love in this coming-of-age series.Ugh what a sweet, endearing, soft, charming series.

Very queer show about 8 human beings that find out they are connected to each other somehow... a real globetrotting adventure that takes you through all the emotions.

Really great queer content.

- StarsOrna GuralnikVirginia GoldnerLauren GuilbeauxCOUPLES THERAPY unlocks a hidden world: other people's relationships. Far from reality-show caricatures, this is true documentary filmmaking that brings viewers into authentic and visceral experience of weekly therapy with four couples.Omg I love Couples Therapy. This is a documentary show about real people in therapy -- and it's so good.
