The 10 Best Lesbian Movies of All Time
When thinking of a ‘best’ list of LGBT related films, the criteria is so varied that it’s very hard to pick just a small amount. Are we comparing them in terms of narrative? Or is it strong and unique characters? Is it in terms of innovation of the genre, and can we even call lesbian or LGBT films a genre in general, considering they can vary from comedies, to dramas, to murder stories?
Of course, one must consider all these things at once because, after all, films are complex and multi-sided. Although many films were made in earlier cinema about lesbians – whether openly or in more subtle forms – it is the New Queer Cinema that really transformed the definition of sexuality and the potential of what non-heterosexual films can be as well as the way LGBT characters can be presented. Although the movement never became mainstream, it has subtly infiltrated both indie and Hollywood cinema in a way that it’s traces are still seen today.
Without further ado, although a list of great films should never be limited to such a small number as 10, these titles definitely stand as strong representations of lesbian films.
10. The Handmaiden (Park Chan-wook, 2016)
The Handmaiden is a brilliant film in all its aspects, with a plot that doesn’t stop to shock and surprise at every turn. The film follows a con-man, Count Fujiwara (Ha Jung-woo) who is on a mission to seduce and steal the inheritance of a rich Japanese woman Lady Hideko (Kim Min-hee).
To carry out his plan he hires the help of a professional thief, Sook-Hee (Kim Tae-ri) to act as her handmaiden. However, the women are smarter than Fujiwara thought and what follows is an endless power swap of the characters, in the process of which Sook-Hee and Lady Hideko fall in love.
9. The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1972)
Although this is not the film most associated with Fassbinder, it is a real gem and one of his greatest works. The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant was adapted by him from his own play of the same name, giving it a great cinematographic spin and illuminating it with rich colours suitable to a film about a fashion designer. The story is both humorous and tragic, showing the difficulties of finding true love when you’re rich and famous – a story quite personal to Fassbinder himself.
Set in a luscious and artistic apartment of Petra Von Kant (Margit Cartensen), a powerful woman who is arrogant and self-righteous, whose life changes for the better or worse when, infatuated with a young model Karin (Hanna Schygulla), she invites her to move in with her, causing a series of drama.
8. My Summer of Love (Pawel Pawlikowski, 2004)
The summer is a strange romantic time for youth. A period where you have a lot of time to yourself, and longing for something exciting to happen that will help you feel more alive.
Set in such a period of time, My Summer of Love explores a unique relationship between two young girls that could not have less in common. Tamsin (Emily Blunt), coming from an upper-class background and a spoiled attitude and Mona (Natalie Press) a lower-class girl hiding her brightness behind a hard-faced mask.
However, whether it is the summer, or the bonding over their familial problems, the girls immediately become close and find themselves crossing over the strict friendship barrier.
Like many LGBT films, Pariah is a film of self-discovery, and one that is very much personal to the director herself. The film follows Alike (Adepero Oduye) in a coming of age story that creates a lot of sympathy and identification with the young teenager.
One can’t help but root for her as she is forced to hide her unfemininity in front of her parents, changing clothes before seeing them as a reassurance of her normality. At the same time we can experience the joy of her first love and the transformation in makes in her and for her relationship with herself as she finally finds someone who understands her.
The film is filmed with beautiful cinematography from Bradford Young that reflects Alike’s emotions through the saturated colours at a night club scene and green murky tones of desperation as she finds out the price of being herself.
6. Desert Hearts (Donna Deitch, 1986)
Desert Hearts is a ground breaking film in that, for the first time, a man was not in any way involved in the romance between two women.
Armed with powerful and complex characters, Desert Hearts follows Vivian Bell (Helen Shaver) in an attempt to start fresh after her divorce, as she learns to rediscover who she is. The spark she needed appears in the form of Cay (Patricia Charbonneau), a bright and energetic sculptor who has long learnt to forget about society’s permission when it comes to living her life as she wants. She is fearless and not afraid to be challenging, something that immediately draws Vivian. The films western rural landscapes serve as a backdrop for the inspiring affair.

From biopics and tragic white period pieces to coming-of-age stories, erotic thrillers, and romantic comedies, these are the movies about queer women that actually move us.
Only four movies on the list were directed by men, and at least a dozen were directed by queer women, proving that when it comes to telling stories about queer women, no one does it better than us. Three queer directors, Alice Wu, Angela Robinson, and Dee Rees, each have two films in the top twenty.
Here are Out Magazine's picks for the twenty best movies about lesbians and queer women.
Queer filmmaker Aurora Guerroro brings us this understated and gorgeous film that tells a story we don't often get to see- that of queer Latinas. Following two teen girls as they fall in love, and featuring great performances by both actors, this movie is perfect for a summer afternoon.
Based on the real-life friendship between the film's two writers, Life Partners is a great example of a lesbian film that's not about a lesbian relationship. We need more lighthearted movies about queer friends like this.
Jessie Pinneck is great and gorgeous as a queer teen who spends her summer in Chicago. This movie has super cute flirting and gender stuff, and the relationship between Cyd and the aunt that she's living with is great. One thing I love about this movie is how being gay doesn't cause any problems, it's just a queer girl trying things out.
This was the first lesbian romcom I ever saw and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Piper Perabo and Lena Headey are adorable as a couple of women who fall in love after one of them gets married. If you haven't seen this one already, get on it now.
This is a hilarious teen sex comedy about a group of parents who try and stop their daughters from completing a sex pact on their prom night. Gideon Adlon plays Sam, one of the three girls who is gay, and her relationship with Angelica, a cape and face glitter wearing girl in her class played by Ramona Young is one of the most realistic depictions of the awkwardness of teen lesbianism there is.
Todd Hayne's gorgeous film was nominated for six Oscars and gave a whole generation of queer women Mommy Issues. Cate Blanchett and Roony Mara give unforgettable performances and Blanchett's faces will stick in your memory for years.
Park Chan-Wook directed this stunning adaption of Fingersmith where the new handmaiden of a Korean noblewoman plots with the woman she's serving to run away after they fall in love. Few films ever are as gorgeously shot. The Handmaiden is one of the best international films in recent years.
Desiree Akhavan's debut movie owes a lot to Girls, but creates it own legacy as a new type of movie about bisexual women. Being one herself, writer/director/star Akhavan brings a sense of realness and humor to the subject that's usually missing from movies about bisexual women.
One of the best high school comedies in recent years features Kaitlyn Dever as a lesbian high school senior, but the movie's not about her coming out or struggling with her sexuality, it's about her trying to have a great last night of high school. Queer actress Beanie Feldstein also stars in a Golden Globe nominated role.
Angela Robinson brings plenty of camp to this perfect date movie about a secret academy of teen girl spies. It's got action, it's got heists, it's got lesbians in schoolgirl uniforms, what esle could you ask for? This movie reminds us all how fun a movie about queer women can be.
Alice Wu’s followup to Saving Face, which we’ll see later on the list, is a queer high school retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac and is one of the best movies of 2020. All the lead actors give great performances and Wu’s terrific script, which was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award, lifts the movie up to heights rarely reached by this kind of movie.
The earliest movie on the list, this German film from 1931 is one of the first depictions of a lesbian romance on screen. While the story, about a student falling in love with her teacher at an all-girls school, might not stand up, this is a classic of queer cinema and a movie you shouldn't miss.
The first of two Dee Rees movies in our top ten, Bessie is a biopic of legendary bisexual blues singer Bessie Smith. This movie features one of Queen Latifah's all-time best performances in the title role and features Mo'Nique as Ma Rainey. If you love queer history, this is the movie for you.
Another film by Angela Robinson, who made D.E.B.S., this movie tells the true-life story of the creator of Wonder Woman and the two women he was in a polyamorous relationship with. Rebecca Hall and Bella Heathcote give beautiful performances as two women in love with each other and the same man. This is a great history of not only queer relationships, but the women who inspired the creation of one of the greatest superheroes of all time.
Before they made The Matrix, the Wachowskis made Bound, an erotic thriller starring Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon as two women who fall in love and try to doublecross the mob. This movie is pure lesbian gaze as our two leads flirt, make love, and come out on top. There's no way anyone other than two lesbians could have made this movie.
The definitive and best White Lesbian Tragic Period Romance is of course, directed by and starring queer women. Céline Sciamma wrote and directed the movie about a painter falling in love with a woman she's supposed to paint a portrait of. If you like longing, firtive glances, and slow burning romance, this is the perfect movie for you.
Cheryl Dunye's love letter to Black lesbians is also a hilarious mockumentary. Dunye plays a version of herself, a Black lesbian working at a Philadelphia movie store, who wants to find the identity of an early Black actress credited simply as "The Watermelon Woman." Dunye films the lesbian community the way only a lesbian could. It's beautiful, it's loving, it's funny, and it's incisive. This is a perfect film.
Lesbian director Jamie Babbit brought us this campy classic about teens in conversion therapy. What could be a horrifying premise (and often is in these kinds of movies) instead turns into a hilarious and hijinks-filled love story. This movie also introduced queer women everywhere to Clea DuVall and solidified her as an all-time lesbian icon. This movie is an indelible part of the queer movie canon.
Alice Wu is back again, this time with her romantic comedy about a Chinese-American surgeon navigating love and coming out to her traditional mother and community. This movie is sweet, sexy, and funny and features one of my favorite couples in any lesbian movie. Plus, it's a rare movie where two queer women of color actually end up together. I love everything about this movie.
There are few filmmakers like Dee Rees, and when it comes to movies about queer women, she is unparalled. Adepero Oduye is brillaint as a 17 year old Black lesbian embracing her identity and trying to start her life. While parts of the semi-autobiographical film are hard to watch, all of it is worth it. There are few films as powerful, triumphant, and beautiful as this one. Dee Rees is a powerhouse, and Pariah is her queer masterpiece, so far.
