Empire's The 50 Best LGBTQ+ Movies
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. By Ben Travis, Sophie Butcher, Ian Freer | Posted 25 Jun 2020 Throughout the history of cinema, there have been gripping and groundbreaking LGBTQ+ films – stories taking in the lives, history, and experiences of people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, pansexual and beyond. And with every passing year, the rich tapestry of bold, funny and fearless queer cinema grows: we’re living a golden age of LGBTQ+ filmmakers having increasing opportunities to tell their own stories – whether specifically about the LGBTQ+ experience or not – resulting in greater on-screen representation, and allowing more people than ever before to see themselves in the movies they love. Team Empire has hand-picked a selection of the greatest films that tell LGBTQ+ stories, or that come from LGBTQ+ filmmakers – contemporary, historical, factual, fictional, fantastical, or futuristic. Of course, ‘LGBTQ+ movies’ isn’t a genre in and of itself – here you’ll find romances, comedies, rock’n’roll musicals, period dramas, crime thrillers, teen movies, documentaries, heartwarmers and heartbreakers, and one of the most famous sci-fi films of all time. From landmark moments in movie history to vital new voices, it’s a cinematic banquet. Dive in, enjoy, and happy Pride. -
Empire's The Best War Movies
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. From swords-and-sandals skirmishes, to World War II men-on-a-mission movies, to futuristic tales of humanity battling antagonistic alien races, the history of cinema is full of war films. Some depict real-life battles, victories and defeats. Others tell fictionalised stories to humanise the vast scale of lost lives and sacrifices made on the frontlines, bringing the horrors of war and the disorientation of combat to life with impeccable cinematic craft and emotional storytelling. Team Empire has come up with a list of the greatest war movies, presented in chronological order from the 12th Century to the 23rd Century – spanning the Crusades, the World Wars, Vietnam, the Iraq War, and beyond. There are documentaries, animations, films made nearly 100 years ago, ones that purposefully alter the course of history, ones that predict sci-fi futures, and modern classics that shine a contemporary light on events that should never be forgotten. By Team Empire | Posted 4 Jun 2020 Notes: This list is ordered by era 1 - The Crusades 2 - The Napoleonic Wars 3-6 - World War I 7-18 - World War II 19 - Cold War 20-22 - Vietnam War 23 - Iraq War 24 - Fictional Future War (2020) 25 - Fictional Future War (23rd Century) Kingdom of Heaven specifically refers to the director's cut. Flags of Our Fathers & Letters from Iwo Jima are presented as a single entry. Das Boot doesn't refer to a specific (movie) version, but it's mentioned that the 3.5-hour director's cut is the most widely-available. Apocalypse Now refers to both the original and the [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/apocalypse+now+final+cut/]Final Cut[/url], though it also mentions the [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/apocalypse+now+redux-2001/]Redux version[/url]. -
Harper's Bazaar's 30 of the Best LGBT Films of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. These culturally significant films range from subtle and quiet to political and groundbreaking. BY KEELY WEISS AND DANIEL TAROY | MAY 18, 2020 There’s a reason why “representation matters” has long been a rallying cry for the LGBTQ community: From books to movies to television, the stories we consume have the power to shape how we see other people—and ourselves. So when a film comes along that manages to really nail the queer experience, well, suffice it to say, we as a community hold on tight to our favorites. Here are 30 of the most beloved LGBTQ movies of all time, ranging from subtle and quiet to political and groundbreaking. -

IndieWire's 38 Must-See New Movies to See This Fall Season
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. From select theatrical releases to VOD and virtual cinema offerings, this season promises to be different in many ways. One thing that hasn't changed: a wide selection of the best 2020 has to offer. By Kate Erbland, Eric Kohn, Anne Thompson, Zack Sharf, Christian Blauvelt, Ryan Lattanzio, Tambay Obenson, Bill Desowitz, Jude Dry, David Ehrlich, Chris O'Falt, Chris Lindahl Aug 18, 2020 10:00 am Much like this year’s truncated summer season, the 2020 fall movie-going season is going to look a bit different than it has in years past. While plenty of films have opted to set release dates in the thick of what has traditionally been the proving ground for the year’s biggest awards contenders, others are still holding back, or opting to pursue modified releases. Some films will be in theaters, while others are going for on demand releases or even virtual cinema bows. Many festivals, usually the first home of the films that will keep us talking for months to come, will be going virtual this year. Nevertheless, there are plenty of exciting movies coming out in the months ahead. These include the latest offerings from directors as far-reaching as Christopher Nolan, Charlie Kaufman, Chloe Zhao, Miranda July, Antonio Campos, Julie Taymor, and more. While the glut of blockbusters has slowed to a trickle, a big batch of festival darlings hoping to break into the mainstream are there to take their place. Of course, it remains to be seen just how this schedule will evolve in the coming weeks, but for now, there are dozens of films on their way that are worth looking forward to seeing, in whichever fashion they roll out. This list includes only films that have currently set a firm release date, though many of IndieWire’s most-anticipated 2020 films have yet to announce release plans, including Netflix heavy-hitters (“[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/ma+raineys+black+bottom/]Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom[/url],” “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/the+midnight+sky/]The Midnight Sky[/url],” “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/the+white+tiger/]The White Tiger[/url]”), films gearing up for festival runs (“[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/ammonite/]Ammonite[/url]”), projects that have already screened to acclaim (“[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/zola-2020/]Zola[/url]”), and others that are shrouded in mystery (like “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/the+green+knight/]The Green Knight[/url]”), just to name a few. Of course, everything remains in flux, and as plans continue to change, this list will be updated. Whether that includes changing release dates, the method of a film’s release, or adding in some of those anticipated titles that have locked in an official date in 2020, this preview remains particularly fluid. For now, however, these are the films we are most excited to see in the coming months. Updated on November 5. -
Indiewire's International Gay Cinema: 25 LGBTQ Movies to See from Around the World
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Ryan Lattanzio Feb 27, 2021 1:00 pm American movies and TV are making major strides in LGBTQ representation, but storytellers abroad are in many ways ahead of the curve, exploring sexuality and relationships with groundbreaking technique, and in ways often coded and ahead of their time. From Rainer Werner Fassbinder to Pier Paolo Pasolini, the fluidity of human sexuality has long fascinated international filmmakers unafraid to bust taboos. More recently, a director like Céline Sciamma constructed a bracing picture of an intimate female relationship with “Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” though looking back at her career, she’s long explored the nuances of female sexuality. From the 20th Century up until just this past year with Sweden’s Best International Feature Oscar submission “And Then We Danced,” below is a sampling of some of the best international LGBTQ cinema out there — including alternative entries from popular filmmakers you may have missed. Jude Dry contributed to this story. -
Metro Weekly's 15 Black LGBTQ Films Everyone Should See
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. From "Bessie" to "Young Soul Rebels" these movies showcase the best of black gay cinema By André Hereford, Chris Heller, Rhuaridh Marr, Will O'Bryan, Doug Rule and Randy Shulman February 23, 2017 Every culture is comprised of subcultures. They are essential veins to a greater artery. And there is, arguably, no more profoundly resonant subculture within the LGBTQ movement than the African-American community. It’s been such a fertile territory for filmmakers that when deciding on a sixth installment for our “LGBTQ Films Everyone Should See” series, it stood out as a no brainer. Of course, it helps that the low-budget Moonlight has become a launching pad of sorts, renewing a rapture for honest black cinema in a way that alluded such recent high profile entries like Nate Parker’s Birth of a Nation. Moonlight came in, stealth-like, and stole every bit of the thunder. Deservedly so. The Oscar-nominated, Golden Globe-winning masterpiece sets a new bar for black gay cinema, if not all independent film. Poetic and resonant, it deploys a magnificently complex, ethereal narrative structure, offering the world a moviegoing experience that eschews Hollywood’s typical cookie cutter aesthetic for one daring, brave, and emotionally, intellectually powerful. It’s the standard from which all LGBTQ cinema will be compared moving forward. And like the the finest LGBTQ films — Beautiful Thing, Boys Don’t Cry, Brokeback Mountain — it remains true to itself, true to its heart. And that truth is what sticks with you long after the movie has ended. Each of the 15 films selected for our list are just as true, making every single one of them — no matter who you are, no matter what your cultural assignation, no matter your sexual orientation — essential viewing. They inform, they entertain, they enlighten, they stir our collective souls. Most importantly, they leave us with a far better understanding of our LGBTQ culture, as well as the subcultures within, subcultures that provide real muscle to our mass. In alphabetical order: -
Oprah Magazine's 47 Best Teen Movies That'll Never Get Old
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. By McKenzie Jean-Philippe Aug 27, 2020 Unrequited romances and house parties, here we come. Oh, adolescent angst. There's nothing quite like a movie that captures the teen spirit. Between stereotypical cliques (jocks in letterman jackets or nerds in glasses?), unrequited romances you thought you'd never recover from, your first house party, or applying to college as a high school senior, teen movies offer a certain kind of comfort and joy—even when your own experience was more awkward than depicted on screen. Lucky for us, Hollywood can't seem to get enough. With decades worth of coming-of-age movies—from 1955's Rebel Without a Cause to John Hughes films that dominated the 80s, plus Clueless, Mean Girls, and our latest obsession with the book-turned-movie, To All the Boys I've Loved Before—it looks like we'll never run out of hormone-fueled dramas and lighthearted teen comedies to watch, either. To help get you started, below are some of the best teen movies of all time that you can stream right now. Unlike us, these never get old. Note: List appears to be chronological and limited to films that were available for streaming at time of publishing. -
Playback's Top Ten Canadian Films of the Decade
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. Your picks for the top ten Canadian films of the Decade We asked you to name your picks for top Canadian films of the last decade and you did. And what a list... By Brendan Christie December 10, 2010 The top ten films of the new millennium In 2002, Playback polled the industry in order to find out what you thought were the greatest Canadian films of all time. With the first decade of the new millennium done and dusted, we thought it was time to check in for an update of sorts, and name the top films of the last 10 years. We opened the Playback site for suggestions and received hundreds of film submissions – truly a testament to the strength and variety of Canadian film in the past decade. In the end, two films tied for top spot – Jean-Marc Vallée’s quirky C.R.A.Z.Y. and Sarah Polley’s heart-wrenching Away From Her. Interestingly, Polley, who wrote and directed Away From Her, also starred in our previous top film, Atom Egoyan’s classic The Sweet Hereafter (1997). Also, as your top 10 selection included two feature documentaries, we included an extra two films in the list so that the fiction folk would have a complete top-10 list as well. -

Rolling Stone's 50 Essential LGBTQ Movies
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. From coming-out dramas to cult comedies, documentaries to blockbusters — our list of films that reflected and represented queer culture onscreen By DAVID FEAR & JERRY PORTWOOD & JENNA SCHERER & MARIA FONTOURA & TIM GRIERSON JUNE 25, 2020 2:45PM ET It’s grainy, faded, and, given the clip is now 125 years old, more than a little worse for wear. But this brief footage is not so ancient that you can’t clearly make out two men, waltzing together, as a third man plays a violin in the background. It was an experimental short made by William Dickson, designed to test syncing up moving pictures to prerecorded sound, a system that he and Thomas Edison were developing known as the Kinetophone. It’s known as “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/dickson+experimental+sound+film/]The Dickson Experimental Sound Film[/url],” and dates back to 1895, the same year movies were born. While there’s nothing to outright suggest that these men were romantically involved or attracted to each other during the roughly 20-second length of their pas de deux, there is nothing that contradicts that notion either. It’s considered by many to be one of the first examples of gay imagery in film, and a reminder that homosexual representation has been with the medium from the very beginning. That clip appears in [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/the+celluloid+closet/]The Celluloid Closet[/url], Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman’s documentary based on Vito Russo’s study of homosexuality in the movies, along with countless examples of how gay characters showed up, per narrator Lily Tomlin, as “something to laugh at, or something to pity, or even something to fear.” The history of representation is long, and extremely storied, often shaping how the public viewed “the love that dare not speak its name” for better or worse. But since those two men first danced, there have also been scores of stories, characters, and filmmakers that have presented the varied, multitudinous aspects of LGBTQ experiences 24 frames per second that have gone past those stereotypes, or flipped them on their heads. Some have been documents of a moment or era of gay history, some have been used as correctives to decades of negative clichés, and others have simply celebrated the fact that the movies can be queer, they’re here, get used to it. In honor of LGBTQ Pride Month, we’re singling out 50 essential LGBTQ films — from comedies to dramas, documentaries to cult classics, underground experimental work to studio blockbusters. It is nowhere near a comprehensive rundown of every great movie to feature out-and-proud heroes and villains, or a queer sensibility, or even just visible (and/or risible) examples of gay life in cinema; we could have easily made this list twice as long. Rather, consider this a primer that helps illustrate the relationship between queer culture and the silver screen. Notes: 1. This list is in alphabetical order. 2. At the bottom they included "Watch these films with a 30-day free trial to Amazon Prime or a free trial to Hulu here" so it's possibly they only picked films that were available on either of those two streaming services. -
Time Out's The 50 best gay movies: the best in LGBT film-making
Favs/dislikes: 7:0. With the help of leading directors, actors, writers and activists, we count down the best LGBTQ+ films of all time By Cath Clarke, Dave Calhoun, Tom Huddleston, Alim Kheraj, Guy Lodge and Ben Walters Posted: Tuesday June 16 2020 The importance of representation cannot be downplayed. By watching films we are introduced to experiences different to our own. It creates empathy and understanding – a connection between yourself and other people, while also helping us understand ourselves. That’s why, in the last few years, it’s been exciting to see an increase in quality LGBT+ cinema that truly represents different facets of the queer experience. Films like ‘Moonlight’, ‘Love, Simon’, the Melissa McCarthy-starring ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’ and the thrilling ‘A Fantastic Woman’ have all brought much-needed representation to the big screen, while also telling a diverse range of LGBT+ stories. And while we still have a long way to go before queer cinema is entirely mainstream, it’s worth celebrating how far we’ve come even since 2005’s ‘Brokeback Mountain’. So, with that in mind, we asked some LGBT+ cultural pioneers and Time Out writers to share their most essential LGBT+ films to countdown the 50 best gay movies. First version: By Cath Clarke, Dave Calhoun, Tom Huddleston and Ben Walters Posted: Tuesday November 24 2015 Leading directors, actors, writers and activists – including Todd Haynes, John Waters, Kimberly Peirce and George Takei – share the lesbian, bisexual, trans and gay movies they love the most Which movies are most beloved for the light they shine on lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans experiences? Which screen stories involving LGBT characters are the most enduring, whether romances, horrors or comedies? Which are the most groundbreaking, politically or artistically? And which simply demand to be watched again and again? We asked LGBT cultural pioneers – including Xavier Dolan, Christine Vachon, Bruce LaBruce and Roland Emmerich – to share with us their ten best gay movies. Here’s their out-and-proud list of 50 great LGBT movies.

Vulture's The 50 Greatest War Movies Ever Made
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. A look back at a genre that has inspired a century of cinema. By Keith Phipps NOV. 11, 2020 This article originally ran in January and is being republished with the addition of Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods. Speaking to Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune in 1973, Francois Truffaut made an observation that’s cast a shadow over war movies ever since, even those seemingly opposed to war. Asked why there’s little killing in his films, Truffaut replied, “I find that violence is very ambiguous in movies. For example, some films claim to be antiwar, but I don’t think I’ve really seen an antiwar film. Every film about war ends up being pro-war.” The evidence often bears him out. In Anthony Swofford’s Gulf War memoir Jarhead, Swofford recalls joining fellow recruits in getting pumped up while watching Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket, two of the most famous films about the horrors of war. (On the occasion of the death of R. Lee Ermey, the real-life drill instructor who played the same in Full Metal Jacket, Swofford offered a remembrance in the New York Times with the headline “Full Metal Jacket Seduced My Generation and Sent Us to War.”) Is it true that movies glamorize whatever they touch, no matter how horrific? And if a war movie isn’t to sound a warning against war, what purpose does it serve? Even if Truffaut’s wrong — and it’s hard to see his observation applying to at least some of the movies on this list — it might be best to remove the burden of making the world a better place from war movies. It’s a lot to ask, especially since war seems to be baked into human existence. So, like other inescapable elements of the human experience, we tell stories about war, stories that reflect our attitudes toward it, and how they shift over time. War movies reflect the artistic impulses of their creators, but they also reflect the attitudes of the times and places in which they were created. A World War II film made in the midst of the war, for instance, might serve a propagandist purpose than one made after the war ends, when there’s more room for nuance and complexity, but it also might not. Maybe the ultimate purpose of a war movie is to let others hear the force of these stories. Another director, Sam Fuller, once offered a quote that doesn’t necessarily contradict Truffaut’s observation but better explains the impulse to make war movies: “A war film’s objective, no matter how personal or emotional, is to make a viewer feel war.” The films selected for this list of the genre’s most essential entries often have little in common, but they do share that. Each offers a vision that asks viewers to consider and understand the experience of war, be it in the trenches of World War I, the wilderness skirmishes of Civil War militias, or the still-ongoing conflicts that have helped define 21st-century warfare. Compiled as Sam Mendes’s stylistically audacious World War I film, [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/1917/]1917[/url], hit theaters, this list opts for a somewhat narrow definition of a war movie, focusing on films that deal with the experiences of soldiers during wartime. That means no films about the experience of returning from war ([url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/coming+home/]Coming Home[/url], [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/the+best+years+of+our+lives/]The Best Years of Our Lives[/url], [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/first+blood/]First Blood[/url]) or of civilian life during wartime ([url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/mrs.+miniver/]Mrs. Miniver[/url], [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/jeux+interdits/]Forbidden Games[/url], [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/hope+and+glory/]Hope and Glory[/url]) or of wartime stories whose action rests far away from the battlefield ([url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/casablanca/]Casablanca[/url]). It also leaves films primarily about the Holocaust out of consideration, as they seem substantively different from other sorts of war films. Also excluded are films that blur genres, like the military science fiction of [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/starship+troopers/]Starship Troopers[/url] and [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/aliens/]Aliens[/url] (even if the latter does have a lot to say about the Vietnam War). That eliminates many great movies, but it leaves room for many others, starting with a film made at the height of World War II in an attempt to help rally a nation with a story of an operation whose success required secrecy, extensive training, and beating overwhelming odds. Notes: [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/nobi/]Nobi (1959)[/url] was originally #12, but was replaced by Da 5 Bloods. The #12 spot is still missing in the updated list. Che 1 & 2 are counted as a single film. -
