Curated by co-founder and film editor Ed Gonzalez, this 50-wide roster is a singular trove of queer-themed gems and classics, spanning the past eight decades and reflecting artists as diverse as Kenneth Anger, Derek Jarman, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder. You won't find The Birdcage among our ranks, but you will find Paul Morrissey's Trash, Ira Sach's The Delta, David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, and Céline Sciamma's Tomboy. Consider the list a hat tip to what's shaped up to be a banner LGBT year, particularly on screen, with lesbian romance Blue Is the Warmest Color taking top honors at Cannes, and Xavier Dolan releasing the masterful Laurence Anyways, which also made our cut.
