Rotten Tomatoes' 200 Best LGBT Movies of All Time

Rotten Tomatoes' 200 Best LGBT Movies of All Time's icon

Created by MovieDearest.

Favorited 7 times, disliked 0 times, added to 13 watchlists.

"To be considered for the list, a movie had to prominently feature gay, lesbian, trans, or queer characters; concern itself centrally with LGBT themes; present its LGBT characters in a fair and realistic light; and/or be seen as a touchpoint in the evolution of queer cinema. And it had to be Fresh. The final list was culled from a longlist of hundreds, after which the films were ranked according to the Adjusted Tomatometer, which acts as a kind of inflation adjustment, taking into consideration the Tomatometer score, as well as the number of reviews a film received relative to the average number of reviews for films released that same year."
