Favorite and/or Most Important GLBTQ Film and TV?

Jan 11, 2010 12:21

I'm putting together next term's syllabi, and one of the new courses I'm offering is Queer Film and TV. I have a preliminary list of media I'd like to show, but I'd like to get some other ideas and I thought I might try tapping into my f-list's collective intelligence. So, what are your favorte, most influential, and/or most noteworthy GLBTQ ( Read more... )

Don't know if they qualify as noteworthy or influential? But I am very fond of But I'm A Cheerleader and Itty Bitty Titty Comittee (same director)....both coming of age stories of young lesbians. The first about coming out and the other about finding radical feminist politics. Both FUNNY and highly entertaining too. :D

Thank you! I've seen But I'm a Cheerleader, but I'll look up the other one.

Thank you for this! I *loved* Itty Bitty Titty Committee and I'm going to include it!

Sunday Bloody Sunday! Get Real! (which I like better than the similar and more touted Beautiful Thing) Bar Girls!

Latter Days. Between You and Me.

Latter Days bums me out, but there's a lot of truth and power in there, you're right. I'll have to think about it - and I'll look up Between You and Me. Thank you!

talitha78 January 12 2010, 01:15:04 UTC

Oops, sorry, got the title wrong: it Imagine Me and You, not Between You and Me. D'OH.

Ah! Yes - that I've seen. V cute film :)

How about My Own Private Idaho? It's one of my favorites.

blacksquirrel January 11 2010, 18:52:46 UTC

I haven't seen that - I think I'll be watching a few films this week! Thank you

Is so good. The only film atarring Keanu Reeves where he actually acts well.

blacksquirrel January 11 2010, 18:56:43 UTC

Ah ha! *That's* why I haven't seen it. I'll give it a go.

Torch Song Trilogy, Jeffrey, Kiss Me, Guido and of course, because I am a Canadian fangirl at heart, Wilby Wonderful.

blacksquirrel January 11 2010, 18:51:45 UTC

Oh, I {heart} Wilby Wonderful! I'll think about those, thanks :)

jarlsberg71 January 11 2010, 20:32:49 UTC

Kiss me Guido is great, expecially when he thinks GWM means "Guy with Money"

blacksquirrel January 11 2010, 20:41:59 UTC

Oh - I think i've seen that one - do they work at a pizza place?
