Our list of the 200 Best Gay Movies of All Time stretches help 90 years to the pioneering German film, Mädchen in Uniform, which was subsequently banned by the Nazis, and crosses multiple continents, cultures, and genres. There are broad American comedies (The Birdcage), artful Korean crime dramas (The Handmaiden), groundbreaking indies (Tangerine), and landmark documentaries (Paris Is Burning). Over the last few years, we added titles like the documentary Welcome to Chechnya, about LGBTQ+ activists risking their lives for the produce in Russia; Certified Fresh comedy Shiva, Baby; and Netflix’s The Old G When looking through a given year’s best movies and shows, it’s helpful for a writer to discover connections among the prominent picks. Perhaps this was a year where studio fare stood tall, or indie darlings broke huge. Maybe 2022 saw an uptick in stories about burgeoning fascism or very good donkeys. Heck, even taking note of broader trends — like the potential resurgence of theatrical motion pictures or the possible end of streaming content boom — can give a list a sense of purpose or clarity. But when it comes to our picks for the best LGBTQ movies and shows in 2022, what’s refreshing to spot is the lack of commonalities. Comedies like “Bros” and “Fire Island” were given major release platforms courtesy of Universal and Searchlight, respectively. Dramatic fare like “Benediction” and “The Inspection” rode festival buzz and critical praise to leave their mark. This year’s top awards contenders are queer, as adequately, from “Tár” to “Everything Everywhere All at Once” — two films that defy tidy labels and demand repeated excavations. TV is simil Nothing comforts the soul like watching a well-made and accurately represented queer storyline on a lazy Sunday. After decades of suffering through sad and tragic storylines, 2022 was quite literally a queer bonanza. Not only did we acquire representation, we got genuine representation with actual glad endings! There were so many beautifully portrayed Gay characters that have since burrowed deep into our hearts. Due to wish of time and room, here are my highest 6 picks of Lgbtq+ movies and TV Shows of 2022 that I’d kill to watch again for the first time. 6. First Kill (TV Show-English) It’s the lesbian vampire enemies-to-lovers trope we always deserved but never got – until now. The connection between the leads sizzles like drops of rain on hot charcoal. Although the plot is thin and predictable at times, we loved it all the same. Well, don’t we deserve all the fun, sappy, and stereotypical plots in the earth too? You bet we do. The premise of a vampire and a vampire-hunter falling in adoration is just too strenuous to resist. Also, the catchy music definitely makes up for it all. When you’re down for a night of casual watching, just prop your feet up on the couch and p At the very first stage of the new clip Spoiler Alert, Michael (Jim Parsons) and Kit (Ben Aldridge) go on their very first date. Michael is asked what he was most obsessed with as a child, he responds instantly: “Christmas and soap operas!” As you may have gleaned from its title, the film—which was co-written by activist and writer Dan Savage and is based on the memoir by Michael Ausiello—doesn’t have a cheerful ending. But it still feels very much part of the romantic-comedy canon. 2022 has been the year of the gay rom-com. In June, Andrew Ahn’s Fire Island followed a group of friends who went on vacation to the gay hotspot. The film, which was loosely based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, was praised by critics and fans for exploring class dynamics in gay relationships, but also as a landmark moment in queer Asian representation. In September, Billy Eichner’s Bros was heralded as the first major studio release for a gay rom-com. The film was positively reviewed, but disappointed at the box office, which made it the Main Personality in several weeks of social media discourse. Gay rom-coms have become the next frontier in Post Views:48,212 For 26 years now, the largest Dutch LGBTQ+ production festival takes place in Amsterdam every March under the name “Roze Filmdagen“, meaning Pink Motion picture Days.
