Here is our list of 16 of the best gay movies, mostly Netflix, that should keep you safe and entertained until the coronavirus is under control. Please feel free to add to this list in the comments below and share it.
#1 “Moonlight” (2016)
“Moonlight” made history in February 2017 by becoming the first LGBTQ film to ever win an Academy Award for Best Picture. Based on Tarell Alvin McCraney’s script “In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue,” the film is a largely autobiographical story of a black, gay man coming of age while struggling with his sexual identity.
Where to watch: Netflix
#2 “Sense8” (2015-2018)
Created by the Wachowski sisters, writers and directors of “The Matrix” trilogy, this science-fiction drama series follows eight strangers who discover they are emotionally and mentally linked, but must contend with shadowy forces that appear bent on hunting them down for their unique abilities. Due in part to its representation of LGBTQ characters and themes, the show won the 2016 GLAAD award for Outstanding Drama Series.
Where to watch: Netflix
#3 “Glee” (2009-2015)
When “Glee” came on the scene in 2009, the full extent of its contributions to LGBTQ representation in television couldn’t have been anticipated. But throughout its six seasons, it never shied away from showing a wide spectrum of human sexuality through the prism of a high school glee club riddled with drama, competition, young love and a penchant for impromptu musical numbers.
Where to watch: Netflix
#4 “Queer as Folk” (2000-2005)
Based on the British show of the same name, this drama was the first on American television to center on the lives of LGBTQ people. It chronicles the lives of five gay men and a lesbian couple living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and through their stories explores some of the most relevant queer issues of its time.
Where to watch: Showtime Anytime

Birdcag
For a fantastic film about gay friends and relationships, I recommend Love!Valour!Compassion! It operates as a love story on many different levels and communicates the difficulties of friendship and relationships
A Very Natural Thing (1974)
I’m loving Toy Boy On Netflix – Perfect escapism with sexy pretty people, intrigue a lo Spanish Soap. I promise you’ll love the bad acting, but it has some touching moments that you’ll identify very LGBTQ friendly.
you are missing…….1985
Madonna’s Truth or Dare
Madonna’s Desperately Seeking Susan
Madonna’s Evita
Madonna’s A League of Their Own
Thank you!
Fresa y chocolate. Cuban gay film
Hi JOSUE, Is there a version has subtitles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-moBKoC-jc
Steel Magnolias, Torch Song Trilogy, Flawless, Jeffrey! Just to name a few of my favorites.
How about Beautiful Thing and Common Ground. Those were the first two lgbt minutes i ever watched.
With the exception of Gods Own Country (great movie btw) these are all American made. While I don’t agree with these “best” films, there are so many internationally films that need to be listed: Priscilla, Maurice, Pride,
The Wedding Banquet ( Brokeback
Mountain, also made by Ang Lee), Before Night Falls, My Beautiful Laundrette, Something about my mother, Cage a Folles (French
Version the source for Birdcage). Need I go on….,

Brokeback Mountain is not a great film. It is yet another example how “tragic” gay love is because it leads to the death of Jake Gyllenhal’s character and homophobia keeps the two partners apart. This is a sad movie movie about miserable people
Sad list. Only a couple of these are uplifting during this time of the coronavirus. AIDS, Murder, Cancer, etc. I’d prefer to watch a hetero comedy or romance movie like Bridesmaid or Pretty Woman. At least those make me laugh and smile.
I’ve seen them all
What’s your favorite?
