Hi! In light of pride month, I just wanted to list some of my favorite (mostly older) queer movie recommendations!

Maurice (1987)

Rope (1948) - Mostly just subtext, but is widely accepted as being queer (although not the best representation...)

The Power of the Dog (2021)

The Gay Deceivers (1969)

Another Country (1984)

Benjamin (2018)

The Birdcage (1996)

Victim (1961)

In & Out (1997)

Brokeback Mountain (2005) (obviously)

Next Goal Wins (2023)

Strangers on a Train (1955) - Not explicitly queer, but most people view one of the main characters as being gay

Deathwatch (1965) - This one's kind of confusing and weird but you've just got to watch it and believe me

The Sergeant (1968)

The Servant (1963) - Most people interpret it as having homosexual subtext. Also it's Dirk Bogarde, so.....

Carol (2015)

The Children's Hour (1961)

Miller's Crossing (1990) - A few of the characters are gay, but it's not really the main focus of the movie. Still a great one, though.

Warlock (1959) - A western with a pair of characters that seem a bit more than friends..... A lot of westerns are known for having subtext, but this one is known by some as "the first gay western". Decide for yourself.....

Those are the ones that I have watched, but I'll also include a few in my watchlist that I've heard are also queer in some way:

3:10 to Yuma (1957)

The Singer Not the Song (1961)

The Tin Star (1957)

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

The Leather Boys (1964)

Death in Venice (1971)

Wilde (1997)

Winter Kept Us Warm (1965)

Queer (2024)

Philadelphia (1993)

Compulsion (1959)

That Certain Summer (1972)

Beautiful Thing (1996)

Wings (1927)

Enjoy, and HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like tumblr should be bigger fans of The Blues Brothers. It's a movie that has everything we value as a community. Attention and respect to pioneering black musicians, open hostility to nazis, open defiance to police, Carrie Fisher with a rocket launcher and flamethrower, a soundtrack that goes hard as hell, John Belushi so blasted on cocaine that he continues to do somersaults despite having a broken ankle. It's got it all!

Friendly reminder that as devastating as THAT scene is, y'all better leave Kaitlyn Dever THE FUCK alone. Hate Abby all you want, but Kaitlyn is an actress and a real human. Do NOT repeat what happened to Laura Bailey. Okay thx bye
