My top contenders for your queer movie month: Victim 1961 for its ending confession alone, which I still think about till this day. Monster 2023 is a coming of age story that made me cry for ages I loved it so much. The Lost Boys 1987 and the Hitcher 1986 are both horror movies and though not explicit it's very much a part of the story. Ravenous 1999 is also a horror movie and while not as present as the previous ones the tension is still there. The Handmaiden 2016 is a very explicitly gay heist movie that deserves so much more attention it is just that good. Mikey and Nicky 1976 is the toxic yaoi of the ages with the most unlikable protagonists. Soldier's Girl 2003 is one I saw a while ago so I can't speak for its quality but I remember enjoying it. A deeply unhappy ending though.
I hope this goes through the thunderstorm took my electricity so I'm on my data and 10% battery lol but nothing will stop me from recommending films!! I hope you enjoy these if you end up choosing any and looking forward to seeing your list!!
hiii angel!
thank you.
this is such a great selection. this is the second rec i've heard for monster, which i've had on my to-watch list for awhile. i'm super glad to hear it mentioned more than once, i don't think there have been any other repeats & that seems to bode well!! and THANK YOU for the genre recs i made a point specifically to look into queer sci fi hoping i wouldn't just pigeonhole myself here with realistic dramas/comedies (and as a result watched one of the worst films today which i will pointedly not be counting... but i digress), i am so excited to check out these horror films.
and soldier's girl... i was deeply in love with lee pace as a teenager but didn't get around to seeing soldier's girl until this year? last year? it feels recent. such an incredible portrayal of a heart wrenching story. but so lovingly and beautifully done. it's what i want out of queer cinema. i'm so glad to see that amongst your choices, as well as the handmaiden, which i also love! i think our tastes will run similarly. thank you, thank you!!!
