Reading other people's list makes me see how I have totally different tastes than most people. While I appreciate many of the movies mentioned, I rarely ever see listed, what is to me, the absolute best lesbian movie hands down, Elena Undone.
Thanks. I love learning about 'new' movies. From what I know, 'Handmaiden', 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire' and 'Aimee & Jaguar' are favourites. I say that in the context of movies and not just the theme. 'Thelma' was great too, and the director absolutely made a classic with 'Worst Person in the World'.
Theme wise, I add 'Kissing Jessica Stein', 'Housekeeping for Beginners', 'Tár', 'I Saw the TV Glow', 'Bottoms', 'Blue is the Warmest Colour', and 'Two of Us'.
Same )) Interestingly enough, I read the book first. I think the film is beautifully accurate in conveying the subdued ambiance of the book: muted colors, smooth flow, that music! And casting is 100% on point. I listen to The Price of Salt audiobook when I need to calm down. Know it by heart, I think, but it’s just so soothing!
Hi, cheers for the read! I'm not sure if you can edit or not but I want to mention a typo at the beginning of the second paragraph for The Children's Hour where it mentions Martha has been in love with Mary, when it should be Karen.

Whew, The Handmaiden really is one of the most iconic sapphic films. Love this list!
thank you!
Carol is forever my number one (probably because it has a very personal meaning to me) 😊 PS: great list! I want to re-watch those older films in it 👍
I’ve definitely seen Carol more than any other film on this list, that’s for sure. Glad you enjoyed!

lmao "2017 was a huge moment in lesbian cinematic history. It marked the (carnal) meeting of two great same-named actresses: the Rachels."
great list. :)
i found Carol to be a bit underwhelming, but maybe i'll revisit it.
thanks for reading!
Can I add, I can't think straight, and When night is falling? :)
i can’t think straight is a classic
Yes. And there are few OK tv movies, too.
Anyway, greetings from Serbia :)
I haven't seen several of these! Thanks for a great list.
Thanks for reading!

Thank you! I will go in and fix that. That would be a very different movie, haha.
