Bound, Pose, Pariah, Tongues Untied, Personal Best. The Matrix needs to be removed from this list. The wachoskis stole this idea/screenplay from a Black woman, Sophia Stewart. She sued them and won millions for the original movie and the subsequent series.
"Well, Nobody's perfect!" I like to headcanon that Osgood was possibly bisexual or pansexual, since he didn't seem to care if Jerry was a man or not. I love how nonchalantly that line was delivered. 😅
What movie are you talking about since I was curious about who Osgood is?
@@kamsismith It's from "Some Like It Hot", a movie from 1959 which features Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis as musicians who witness a murder, and have to dress in drag to join a female orchestra to evade capture from the mob.
Thank you. I was so lost. I only know of the movie because Marilyn Monroe was in that movie and she was the most memorable character.
@@kamsismith My pleasure, that's true, Marilyn is easily the most memorable part of that movie.
A great and comedic ending
No "Beautiful Thing," "Pariah," "The Birdcage," "Boys Don't Cry," "Maurice," "Hedwig & the Angry Inch," "Heavenly Creatures," "Velvet Goldmine," "Booksmart,"Pride," "A Fantastic Woman," "The Crying Game," "Rocketman," "Kissing Jessica Stein," "Desert Hearts," "Nimona," "Bound" nor "Red, White & Royal Blue"? You need to do another list. At least you got"Moonlight" ranked right.
God Maurice is so underrated and I love Pride and Nimona. There's also the underrated Bollywood movie Badhaai Do
@@natasharanawake6866 Badhaai Do is great! Also adore Hedwig.
I love Pride and was really hoping it would be on the list
You can live forever and Lost & Delirious as well
Portrait of a lady on Fire is a masterpiece
The Handmaiden is one of the best movies that I have ever seen. The cinematography, the music, the acting, all of the twists and turns, all wrapped up in a queer love story. It's perfect! ❤
"Portrait of a Lady" was the last film I saw in theatres in 2020, and it gave me a sense of hope during uncertain times. I wish that I could experience it for the first time all over again.
Philadelphia
It can be presumed that one of my favorite LGBTQ+ Cartoon series, The Owl House(2020-2023), was influenced by most of the LGBTQ+ movies on this list. Nice video list MsMojo. I praise ya'll for doing this video. 🙏
🏳🌈❤🧡💛💚💙💜🏳🌈
That's rude
Look it's impossible to number just 20 LGBTQ+ Movies: Disney's Strange World, Birdcage, The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, Pride, The Kiss of a Spider Woman, Boys Don't Cry, My Own Private Idaho, The Hours, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Danish Girl, Fire Island, Disclosure, The Color Purple, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Breakfast on Pluto, Pink Flamingos, Victor/Victoria, gosh and so many, many others
Room in Rome, Blue is the Warmest Color, My Summer of Love, DEBS, and Imagine Me and You.
I'm honestly surprised that Red, White & Royal Blue wasn't on this list. Not even as an honorable mention? The chemistry between lead couple Alex and Henry was phenomenal 💓
Yeah me too it should be on the list
I was really hoping the Birdcage or Rocketman be on there.
I was hoping for Better than Chocolate and Jeffrey.
Stephanie Hsu in EEAAO is honestly a masterclass.
She should’ve won the Oscar instead of Jamie Lee Curtis
Glad to see all about eve on this list it's so important that the younger generation know about this film i watched it when i was a teenager
I’m very surprised to see The Matrix here.
Yeah that was a bit of a stretch
@@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719 actually it was, I don’t think it should have been included.
If "Bound," which the Wachovskis made years before "The Matrix," made the list, that would've made sense.
@@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719how is it a stretch if it's based on something the filmmakers themselves said about the film?!
There's this little movie called "Pride" that I really enjoyed. It's been a while since I watched it but iirc it's set in Ireland and it is about miners teaming up with the queer community to fight for their rights.
Now this is the kind of excitement I need before Super Bowl sunday. I love it.
No it isn't.
I absolutely adore "The Handmaiden", not just because of the cinematography, acting, et al, but also because it finally gave the story of "Fingersmith" the happy ending it always should have had.
Definitely "Portrait of a lady on fire". Have a happy sunday morning, Sophia. Take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.
Room in Rome and Blue is the warmest color, both great movies
I've always loved 1987's Maurice, which also has a happy and hopeful ending. It's a beautiful and faithful adaptation of E.M. Forster's novel, written in 1913-14 and only published posthumously in 1971. When you consider we were only about 5 years into the outbreak of AIDS when the film was released in 1987, it was astonishing to have this film at this time, and a shame more people aren't aware of it. Definitely worth a watch.
These are not necessarily the best for me but the most accessible and mainstream. Jeffrey, love valour companion, Trick, Prayers for Bobby, Latter days are gay movies that really stroke a chord with me but are far less known and popular.
Still need to see Love Simon.
Tangerine made me fall in love with movies filmed on iPhones
Missing from this list are three Canadian films: "I Heard the Mermaids Singing" (1987), "When Night is Falling"(1995) and "Better Than Chocolate" (1999)
greatest - debatable, worthy - probably. But so many to choose from makes it really difficult and subjective. Beautiful Thing, Latter Days, Shelter, God's Own Country, To Wong Foo, Cage Aux Folles, Priscilla, Killing of Sister George would be on my list too.
to wong foo is SO good
*Thank you Ms Mojo for creating such an amazingly splendid list. I thoroughly enjoyed and greatly appreciate you for composing such a beautifully diverse list of LGBTQIA cinema.* 🙏🏾 🏳️🌈 🎥 ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
I saw ‘Joyland’ recently and I think everyone should watch it. Another South Asian classic is ‘Fire’.
I'm not watching it
Red White and Royal Blue 😢??
I'm thinking that they'll HAVE to do another set, because there are SO MANY GREAT movies! How is it? I'm reading the book now!
Philadelphia is the greatest LGBT movie ever made
*Denzel Washington was phenomenal in that movie. He played a closed minded lawyer representing a gay man dying of AIDS so realistically. I still find myself angry at him from time to time lol but I gotta remind myself that it’s just a movie and that he is not his movie character which evolved into being apart of the family to Tom Hanks character, loving him like a brother. It was so sad yet beautiful. And The Band Played On was sad but great docu-movie as well.*
@@John-14798 bruh you can't get sarcasm
@@Jaime.Lannister *Oh ok.* 🙄
😮
How could you miss "When Night is Falling", the 1995 production by Patricia Rozema?
I saw Portrait of a Lady on Fire in my Intro to Film and Television class November last year, and it was both visually captivating and incredibly potent in the messages. I really liked it.
Incredible list! Portrait of a Lady on Fire and Carol are masterpieces! 💖🌈
No “Philadelphia”? I’m shocked!
13:23 THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING IT!
Where's God's Own Country? Byyyye!
I know that Love, Simon came out in 2018 but does anyone hate Martin as much as I do for outing Simon
Everyone with good sense hates Martin.
And Then We Danced, Straight Up, and Esteros are my favourites
By the way another masterpiece that deserved to be in this top is the beautiful underrated Contracorriente, a beautiful Latin American queer film.
Great list but "Blue Is The Warmest Color" should have been on it. It's so raw, emotional, and heartbreaking - barring the gratuitous sex scenes.
THE MOVIE ENDING SUCKS BECAUSE I PREFER THE GRAPHIC NOVEL WITH A SUICIDAL BUT TRAGIC ENDING. 👩❤️👩🏳️🌈💔🎬🎥📕😢😭
Carol, Protrait of a lady on fire, Everything everywhere all at once were all amazing.
I love Carol ❤❤❤ literally doing this for one of my cinema class assignments because of how much I love it especially Cate Blanchett 😍❤️
You lost me with The matrix but no black swan or To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar or the bird cage?
The inclusion of The Matrix was a bit of a stretch
I love The Birdcage.
Tangerine is sooo good, Syndee is hilarious af, Some like it hot is also enjoyable
Five Dances,Lilting, 4th Man Out, The Way He Looks, God's Own Country, Big Eden, A Single Man (Colin Firth).
The Matrix shouldn't even be on this list considering the Wachoski's stole it from a Black woman, Sophia Stewart. She sued them and won millions from the original & sequels. I am surprised that a great many did not make the list--Noah's Arc, Personal Best, Bound, Pose, Pariah, Shakedown, Tongues Untied, Bessie, Naz & Malik to name a few. There should be a part two.
I know it was an HBO TV movie but The Normal Heart with Mark Ruffalo and Matt Bomber (and an amazing supporting cast) should have been on this list. It’s a great list but missing this and Rent for me
i love tangerine sm...that end scene so beautiful 🥰
......how on earth did y'all NOT include _The Birdcage,_ MsMojo?! How??? 😦
Carol being only at 11 place it offends me. In my opinion, should be at least top 5.
La Mala Educación should have been included as well.
Longtime companion is such a heartbreaking film but so important 😢
Who had CMBYN be their first foray into the Chalafandom. Mine was Ladybird
Happy for Love Simon to be on here although it should have Red, White and Royal Blue and Rocky Horror Picture Show. Then there's Watercolours which was the first LGBTQ+ movie I've watched on the first Christmas when I came out, making it a bittersweet experience. In any case, it's good to have more LGBTQ+ representation movies as a LGBTQ+ individual.
So you tell me that Brokeback Mountain isn't top spot... 🤦🤦🤦
Don't forget Lesbian Period Drama . 😂 ❤🎉
"Beautiful Thing" is so underrated. Shame it didn't make this list or an honorable mention
God’s Own Country, Maurice, The Birdcage and The Hours deserved spots on here
"Boys Don't Cry"? "Gia"? "Monster"?
You should do another list, expect with different and make it 50 movies, AND release it it June!
Bette Davis is a gay icon, you got that right. She’d be partying with all of us if she were still with us.
11:02 The best part was the leads were in drag most of the time.
Imagine me and you,
The color blue is the warmest color,
Happiest season
I ❤ the Takumi-kun movies . 😊❤🎉
Brokeback Mountain, Boys Don't Cry, and Love Simon
Agreed, Jake and Heath should have won Oscars for their roles, and it certainly should have won Best Picture over "Crash."
That part never made any sense to me. How many people do you know remember Crash? I can't even tell you. Despite Crash’s success, they had a short-lived TV series that lasted for two seasons.
Boys dont cry, wow what a great movie.
The real-life story behind the movie broke my heart. Hopefully, Brandon found peace in the afterlife.
@@kamsismith Preach, everyone remembers Brokeback, but hardly anyone might recall Crash as vividly.
You omit VICTIM, CROSSFIRE (in the original story the victim was homosexual rather than Jewish, but Sam Levene contrives to him as both), LES ENFANTS DU PARADIS (Larcenierre lets himself be executed for killing the man who would have killed Lemartierre), MAURICE (a British film made at a time when promotion of homosexuality was illegal in the country)
F*cking Åmål (Show Me Love). Basically the only good Swedish teen drama film ever made.
Recently, I heard about a movie called ‘Straight Jacket’ (courtesy: Matt Baume) that everyone should watch.
I loved call me by your name when it came out cause i wasn't as educated on lgbtq+ issues as i am now but including a borderline ped*philic movie in the list of the greatest lgbtq+ movies of all time is kinda meh guys
My choices are ,when it comes to LGBTQ :
Lesbian Romance - A portrait of a lady on fire ,My first summer ,Summertime ,Cocoon ,Alena ,Porcupine Lake ,When time gets Louder ,Cat Skin ,You can live forever ,My days of Mercy ,Princess Cyd ,The half of it
Trans : Just Charlie ,Something you said last night ,About Ray
American History X should be number 1
Also "Blue Is The Warmest Colour" 2013 was also excluded from your list. Please explain that.
Can we stop with the call me by your name shit? It’s a movie romanizing grooming and unhealthy power dynamics
Ngl, came here just to scroll the comments section 😂
Same here
brokeback mountain the best
The Ritz, the birdcage
Great list but you missed
Nowhere by Greg Araki
Querelle by Fassbinder
Hustler White by Bruce la Bruce
Trash by Andy Warhol
Desperate Living by John Waters
Thanks for sharing!
@@MsMojo You should do another list, expect with different and make it 50 movies, AND release it it June!
The Matrix is not a gay or LGBT movie
Very weird indeed
Brokeback Mountain was a masterpiece of a movie, one of the greatest movies of all time and deserved to be number one or at least top 5.
Seriously? NO NIMONA?!
That's a great movie, great representation too
I have a few movies I need to watch...
The Matrix? 🤔
I vote for Luca, Mulan, To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything - Julie Newmar, Party Monster, Edge Of Seventeen(1998), Another Gay Movie, Mysterious Skin, Hedwick & The Angry Inch, The Birdcage, My Private Idaho, Milk, Glen/Glenda, Boys Don't Cry, Monster.
All of us strangers???
I am not buying that The Matrix was a transgender allegory. The directors are just saying that to be trendy because the movie is old.
Yeah, that's a bit of a stretch
The people refusing to believe that the matrix is a trans allegory crack me up 😂 🏳️⚧️
Am I the only one who thinks Call Me By Your Name is kinda creepy in the fact that it centers around a grown man hooking up with a minor?
CMBYN is a bad movie all on its own but 10000%, it's just 2h of romanticizing pedophilia.
Making gay people the villains was just WRONG!
Not buying 'The Matrix' BS. At. All. Listing this one and leaving off a REAL good film like 'Latter Days' is pandering to the film makers.
BS indeed
The fact that The Prom isn't here is mind boggling
Ikr
How is Love, Simon a bisexual piece?
Right
I love LGBTQ+ it makes me happy
LGBTQRSTUVQXYAndZ
First
Childish
Birdcage and Mulholland Drive better be on this list.
PLEASE DO THE TOP 20 OR MORE MOST TERRIBLE LGBTQ+ MOVIES OF THE FOLLOWING:

...AND MANY MORE, LOL! 🏳️🌈🎬🎥👎🙏🤣😂
Call me by your name has to be the most over hyped and vastly overrated movies I've ever known. It's a predatory relationship, but no one wants to talk about that.
Seriously the matrix don't ruin a good movie
It shouldn't have been included
Why is Everything Everywhere All at Once even on this list?
I mean, the presence of a gay character doesn’t mean the film is LGBTQIA+. It doesn’t even briefly explore gay relationships.
I don't like LGBT movies.
Then don’t watch
why did u click on this then
Then why ya click on the vid u clearly do like it
No thanks.
If you don't like it why are you here?
Go elsewhere Mr 49ers. We don't want or need you
@@terra_sussy255Exactly
Love lgbt movies. I’m a straight man to
