International Gay Cinema: 33 LGBTQ Movies to See from Around the World
“And Then We Danced”
In Swedish filmmaker Levan Akin’s intimate tour-de-force, a young man comes to terms with his sexuality amid the hyper-masculine world of traditional Georgian dance. Framing his mild coming-of-age tale around such a traditional piece of Georgian culture, Akin has made an inherently political film, rendered in sensitive terms with a celebratory spirit. With distinctive features and a lithe physicality, lead actor Levan Gelbakhiani toggles effortlessly between child-like innocence, explosive anger, and wisdom beyond his years. His riveting performance is indisputably the heart and spine of the clip. Because of the sensitive subject matter, Akin and his team had to use guerilla filmmaking tactics to shoot in the conservative country, giving the film a gorgeous cinema verite quality. The motion picture has stoked protests in Tbilisi, where it was shot, proving that lgbtq+ filmmaking is still a political act. —JD
“Bad Education”
“Bad Education” is a haunted hall of mirrors — explicit, deeply troubling, and unbearably sexy. (If you&rsq
Old Hollywood movies had to follow strict guidelines throughout the 1930s–1960s, known as the Hays Code. This basically prevented all US films from featuring anything that was overtly sexual or "inappropriate," which forced a lot of filmmakers to get creative about how they could navigate potential censorship. I possess running lists on Letterboxd of every Old Hollywood and LGBTQ+ movie that I watch, so I sifted through them to find a bunch from the Hays Code era that are subtly (and not so subtly) suuuuuper gay. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!
1.Rebel Without a Cause (1955) stars James Dean as a bisexual hottie, so you really can't inquire for much more. The original script had his character kissing Plato, who was one of the first gay teen characters on screen, but the Hays Code quickly squashed that from happening. Still, this movie is edgy and dramatic and passionate, and the whole cast is just so amusing to look at.
2.All About Eve (1950) is a witty and toxic drama about an aging actress who befriends a fan who ultimately tries to usurp her. This feature shares the record for the most Oscar nominations ever, with 14, and it briefly features Marilyn Monroe in one of her f The Top Gun Volleyball Scene Is Not Homoerotic. It Is Homosexual.
This weekend sees the release of Top Gun: Maverick, the long-awaited follow-up to the 1986 blockbuster, and while the movie did not necessarily need (the need for speed!) a sequel, I am ready. The authentic Top Gun is about a bunch of people who know how to fly very sophisticated fighter jets but have not yet determined that they can wipe sweat off their own faces with even ordinary paper towels. Top Gun blew all the hell up in the summer of '86 for a variety of reasons: the Reagan-era jingoism, Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone,” the absolute incandescence of a young Tom Cruise. It was a massive, sweaty phenomenon.
But Top Gun holds an entirely separate place in some of our hearts. A few of us walked into that multiplex and found ourselves excited in ways our peers may not have been. Some of us witnessed a moment that stayed in our hearts forever.
I speak, of course, of the beach volleyball scene, a one minute and forty second sequence in which a shirtless Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, and Rick Rossovich (plus a wisely shirtful Anthony Edwards) face off in a high-stakes pickup game to the sound of Kenny

With the help of foremost directors, actors, writers and activists, we count down the most essential Queer films of all time
Like queer culture itself, homosexual cinema is not a monolith. For a drawn-out time, though, that’s certainly how it felt. In the past, if homosexual lives and issues were ever portrayed at all on screen, it was typically from the perspective of white, cisgendered men. But as more opportunities have opened up for queer performers and filmmakers to tell their retain stories, the scope of the LGBTQ+ experiences that have made their way onto the screen has gradually widened to more frequently include the transsexual community and queer people of colour.
It’s still not perfect, of course. In Hollywood, as in world at large, there are many barriers left to breach and ceilings to shatter. But those recent strides deserve to be celebrated – as undertake the bold films made long before the mainstream was willing to acknowledge them. To that complete, we enlisted some Queer cultural pioneers, as successfully as Time Out writers to assist in assembling a list of the greatest gay films ever made.
