VOTE: Best LGBTQ+ Films of All Time

Inspired by a similar BFI vote and some interesting results I got on my romance film vote, I thought I'd see which LGBTQ+ films are most beloved on Letterboxd.

In the comments below, vote for up to 10 films. 1 point goes to each film and you don't have to rank your picks. You can induct new entries into the list and can change your votes at a later time if you want.

I won't police what people count as a LGBTQ+ film, you choices may include films with LGBTQ+ characters or themes, or even films that just have an LGBTQ+ subplot or interpretation.

The list is sorted by points, then alphabetically by film name.

Other votes I run: Directors
