The Advocate's Top 175 Essential Films of All Time for LGBT Viewers
Favs/dislikes: 26:1. Published June 23, 2014 on Advocate.com: "Everyone agrees a set of movies exists that are must-sees for any LGBT viewer. We just don't agree on which ones. Dare ask a gay man for his list, and he's likely to rattle off a few that come to mind quickly and then make amendments to it for the rest of your adult lives. Women don't start with the same list. Some movies are incredibly impactful on depictions of trans people or those living with HIV, or mark major firsts in film. Some are too campy to ignore (at least not if you want to keep up at brunch). The bottom line is there are legions of reasons why a movie could be considered "essential" to the LGBT community. We've ventured into the tricky territory of ranking which are most essential. To accomplish this feat, everyone on staff was asked for a top 10, then we asked readers for theirs, and finally began the arguing — always politely. Television movies aren't included (sorry, The Laramie Project, An Early Frost, and Gia). Television series aren't included either (apologies to Tales of the City, AbFab, and Angels in America). The result is potentially a guide for anyone who wants to examine our roots through film. Oh, and we reserve the right to amend it for the rest of our lives. — The Editors" -
