The Cinesexuals

You’ll say that the title is a little extravagant but that was the point. In fact, my idea was to make a list with good films. Some LGBT films have no interest except the one of talking of LGBT people but some LGBT films are little treasures, here they are

Leilah Weinraub’s riveting Shakedown documents a Los Angeles strip club owned by and aimed at Black lesbians in the early years of the twenty-first century, and when it played festivals and arthouses a few years ago it plugged seamlessly into an obvious lineage of work centered on queer people of color building their own culture and institutions, from Paris is Burning (1990) to Kiki (2016).

AsAs the camera slowly pans over piled up moving boxes filled with scuffed up shoes, a Puerto Rican flag, trophies, and a drawing of the state of Texas, the premiere of Love, Victor, a 10-episode Hulu spin-off of the 2018 film Love Simon, establishes who Victor (Michael Cimino) thinks he is and who he has known himself to be.

The Georgian folk dancer is an image of masculine stereotype. His movements are martial, virile; they simulate war, hunting, and the courtship of his beloved. Often accoutered with a double-edged dagger, he personifies the small, proud nation’s history and traditions. So when the Swedish-Georgian director Levan Akin arrived in Tbilisi to shoot the country’s first explicitly queer feature film, a coming-of-age story about a traditional dancer, he was met with not a little hostility.

Producers of the ABC’s ‘Please Like Me’ have today accused the winner of the 89th Academy Award’s Best Picture, ‘Moonlight’, of plagiarising the life of Josh Thomas.

The host of the program asked him with the success of this documentary, what he planned on doing next, Bressan answered, “I want to make a feature-length gay narrative story about two men who are in love for commercial distribution. I would say a gay breakthrough film that straight people can go see and gay people can see.”

Charting an odyssey of classic gay erotica, from Arthur J. Bressan, Jr.'s "Passing Strangers" to Wakefield Poole's "Boys in the Sand"

A filmed version of the 2018 Broadway revival is just as bad on screen as it was on stage—maybe worse.

We Can’t Afford a Hollywood Marriage!” was the headline in the October 1933 issue of Hollywood magazine and, beneath it, Cary Grant and Randolph Scott were pictured whistling as they did the dishes together at the kitchen sink and singing happily at the piano in their living room.

As far as I’m concerned, Paul Lynde is the patron saint of Halloween. His campy, mischievous, subtly sinister style is exactly the vibe I want all October long—and it doesn’t hurt that he gave us the greatest Halloween special ever.

“My goal was to make a film for the teenager I was,” says director François Ozon of his new picture Summer of 85, a love story based on Aidan Chambers’ 1982 novel Dance on My Grave

Claire Denis’s film “Beau Travail,” a luminous tale of desire and despair in the French Foreign Legion, had an uncanny effect on me when I first watched it some years after its release, in 1999.

Filmmaker Dan Hall accidentally found himself in contact with more than a hundred queer people in Afghanistan living under Taliban rule. He shares some of their stories in a powerful new film.

A lot of films feature LGBTQ themes and characters, but for every "Call Me By Your Name" and "Brokeback Mountain," there is a movie like "Boat Trip."

While there are some excellently-made LGBTQ movies, not all of them are the sort of uplifting films that queer people need when we're struggling with our sexuality or gayness.

"Empire" creator Lee Daniels told Insider that he was the original director of "Brokeback Mountain," but couldn't get the film made as "nobody wanted to see the movie."

Any movie from Mexican auteur Julián Hernández should be met with celebration and gratitude. But The Day Began Yesterday is exceptionally good.

"Brokeback Mountain" is revered as the quintessential queer movie, and is many people's go-to film when asked about their favourite LGBT movies.

There are two movies at war with each other inside Uncle Frank.

A heartfelt performance from the British actor elevates an otherwise trite and frustrating story about an alcoholic gay professor in the 1970s

With the release of a quartet of LGBT-centred films, from Ammonite to Supernova, queer filmmaking hits a purple patch. But there's still something missing
