LGBT Film : Best Lesbian Movie?

Best Lesbian Movie?

Granted I've only really seen 2 - Id have to say I really, really enjoyed "The Watermelon Woman" and "Better Than Chocolate".

Better than Chocolate was really good.

Any others worth watching?

Re: Best Lesbian Movie?

Here is a couple I enjoyed

Saving Face
But i'm A Cheerleader

i've also heard great things about "The Incredibly True Adventure of two Girls In Love" I haven't seen it myself yet.

The Swedish film "Show Me Love" AKA *beep* Åmål" is pretty decent too, at least from what I can remember, been a while since I last saw it.


Just a few suggestions.


Peace!

They said best, not worst.

Stay back, geek! It's about to get tragic.

Re: Best Lesbian Movie?

+1 for Desert Hearts. It's a really good movie in general.

Re: Best Lesbian Movie?

Isn't that a film about silly dykes?

Re: Best Lesbian Movie?

Yes, Desert Hearts-85' is excellent. The Killing Of Sister George-68' and Lianna-83 are excellent as well.

Don't eat the whole ones! Those are for the guests. 🍪

Room in Rome, hands down.
FINALLY! Some love for ROME IN ROME, one of the best, most touching, sensual romances ever on film, lesbian or not! 😍

Re: Best Lesbian Movie?



I didn't expect much from the movie at first, but by the end of it I believed the two ladies have fallen deeply in love with one another. That film is much better than so many people give it credit for.

Re: Best Lesbian Movie?

It sure is. And the weird thing is people who don't like it usually say that it's a man's fantasy, as a way of putting it down. But speaking as a woman myself, I will say that if this is the man fantasy, I'd like to shake the man's hand! Because he sure did a good job of relating to what this woman fantasizes about! 😍
