Netflix LGBT Movies

So a while back I went on a binge of LGBT movies and made a list of ones that I found on Netflix. Hope this helps because I know I had a hard time finding them.

Boy Meets Girl My rating: 5/5 Summary: a transgirl has a fling with another girl all while her best friend realizes he might be in love with her. Set in Kentucky

I absolutely loved it! It was funny, heartfelt, heart wrenching and cute. Plus I’m from the south so it was kind of homey and familiar. Charming. Warnings for full body nudity (like 1 second)

GBF My rating: 3.8/5 Summary: Tanner gets caught up in his best friends scheme to be popular and ends up outed with three popular girls after his friendship.

I saw this one get a lot of shit on tumblr but personally, I loved it. It was hilarious and satirical. B-list actors are familiar faces so that’s kinda nice. I thoroughly enjoyed (and still do its one of my faves) this movie.

RENT My rating: 5/5 It’s RENT. Do I have to say anymore?

4th Man Out My rating: 4/5 Summary: a mechanic comes out to his three very straight friends. He deals with finally being out and they adjust to make him comfortable

This one is a sort of “masculine” comedy I guess? Idk but it worked and it definitely wasn’t too serious and had some ridiculously funny scenes.

Jenny’s Wedding My rating: 3.8/5 Summary: Jenny is getting married to her girlfriend and must come out to her family.

I think this one isn’t so much about the couple, but about the protagonist’s struggles in coming out to her family. Not really a romcom, but more like a drama I guess?? Idk what genre this falls into but some moments really got me.

The Way He Looks My rating: 5/5 Summary: A blind boy’s life is filled with adventure by the arrival of a new student named Gabriel. Gabriel also manages to turn Leo’s best friend’s (Giovanna) world upside-down.

LISTEN HERE CUMSLUTS THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES EVER OK! It’s in Portuguese I think? But it has subtitles so no worries. Holy hell oh boy did I love this movie. It wasn’t lacking so much drama that it was boring but it didn’t have too much that it was over the top hectic. They also manage to get some really cute scenes (especially the ending I was squealing). It was good and cute like a really REALLY well written fanfic? Had almost that vibe but better. Overall just a really great movie.

Bridegroom My rating: 5/5 Summary: a documentary about how the lack of marriage equality affected a man when his fiancé suddenly died.

This was just… So sad and real. But really good. It tells their story really well and tugs at your heart.

Boys My rating: 2.7/5 Summary: two boys on the track team fall for each other and one isn’t ready to come out yet.

I… Honestly don’t know how Netflix gave it four stars?? In all honesty the story was pretty dry and too fast paced. Still kinda cute but a little too angsty and suddenly resolved for my taste. From the same productions of The Way He Looks–Wolfe– (but obviously not as good) it had its moments though.

Eat With Me My rating: 3.5/5 Summary: a Chinese cook falls for a British bass player all while his recently separated mother moves in to his apartment.

So the protagonist isnt LGBT, but a Chinese-American woman with a gay son but I still thought it was good enough to mention. This one was a little slow-paced but it didn’t quite drag. There were some moments that were laugh out loud funny but honestly the kicker was the freaking cinematography like DAMN. It was just really aesthetically pleasing and there wasn’t a single shot that wasn’t beautiful! Edit: I THINK THERE WAS A BRIEF BUTTCHEEK OR TWO BUT I CANT REMEMBER

The Perfect Wedding My rating: 3.3/5 Summary: Recovering alcoholic Paul who’s spending the holidays with his parents falls for handsome housemate Gavin, who’s pretending to date Pauls ex.

The acting wasn’t all that great (ok it was pretty bad) but the script was enough to make up for it. Also I ordered this rom com with EXTRA CHEESE. It might be the hopeless romantic in me but god this was like a mediocre-written fanfic it was so cheesy my bowels suffered but it was highly enjoyable. Also the score was original and not many independent movies have great original scores (or ANY scores and it drives me NUTS) but this one was good and fitting.

Blackbird My rating: 5/5 Summary: a black teen struggles with the fact realization that he’s gay, which challenges his faith.

This movie spoke to me, as a bisexual, Christian, poc. Besides that, it was funny, witty, and tugged at the heartstrings. (Also interracial couple!) I saw some negative reviews for it but they came from people who did not understand that being a gay white person is completely different than being a gay poc. Also, I think many critics failed to realize that the main message was about the boys relationship with God and his faith, and how God loves all his children. God is love, and if you don’t have love, you don’t have God. Warnings for suicide, brief child abuse, moments leading up to rape, and mentions of rape after, and brief nudity (buttcheeks).

Cloudburst My rating: 3.5/5 Summary: An elderly lesbian couple escapes from a nursing home to get married in Canada and pick up a hitchhiker along the way.

Thought it would be worse tbh. It’s kind of a darker comedy, one of the main characters is a little raunchy has her mind in the gutter all the time. The ending really got me. Delightfully surprised at how good it was, I mean it’s not the greatest one, but it was enjoyable for sure.

Tangerine My rating: 3.9/5 Summary: when a transgender prostitute gets out of jail, she seeks revenge on her cheating boyfriend.

I DID NOT EXPECT TO LOVE THIS MOVIE AS MUCH AS I DID. It is funny in a really raunchy way and the characters are funny and likable. The story is like when someone’s giving you some good tea I loved it! Production quality isn’t great but it is an independent movie so… Warnings for brief nudity and transphobia.
