Pride Challenge 2025

I had a great many of y’all participate in pride month with me last year. I’d love to have even more of you join this year. 

Here are the only requirements:
30 feature-length films
Each film must focus primarily on an LGBTQ character or theme
Include at least one documentary
(If you really like shorts, just add up the minutes of several to take the place of a feature-length selection)

If you plan to join me on this journey, make yourself known in the comments. Share your list and reviews using the tag “pridechallenge2025”

Many of my selections are taken from the top choices of last year’s participants. I also took many from this top 50 list from Esquire.
