In honor of pride month, here's a list of some lesbian/sapphic movies that, at least from what I see, aren't talked about as much (most of this will be horror):
The Vampire Lovers - this one is an adaptation of Carmilla and, though its not exactly the best representation due to the time it was made, I still love this movie. It's absolutely gorgeous to look at, and I will always love a lesbian vampire
The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love - extremely 90s, but also such a cute movie. I'm surprised I don't see this one talked about as much as, for example, But I'm a Cheerleader is. I think it deserves more recognition
Lowlifes - pretty sure this is a Tubi movie so it's not exactly high budget, but it's a really fun horror movie!
It's a Wonderful Knife - this one is a christmas themed movie and yes, is a horror spin on It's a Wonderful Life. I personally think this movie is so underrated
Bound - definitely more well known than the others, but if I ever stop talking about this movie, assume I am dead. I wish every single movie out there was this cool and this dykey
Memento Mori - korean horror movie that is more of a tragedy, but I really liked this one and it's a movie I've found has dug into my brain, and I think about it often
Bit - okay, I will admit I didn't love this movie, but I want to still recommend it and have more people watch it. It's also lesbian vampires, but the main character is a trans woman, played by a trans actress! The reason I didnt love the movie is mainly because I think the story isn't that great, and the visuals could've been way better. I think it had a lot of potential though
Influencer(s) - okay, so Influencer is a horror movie from 2022 and that in itself isnt that gay, but it's a genuinely really good movie. Influencers is the sequel and its gayer! They're very entertaining horror movies, I really recommend them
Fear Street trilogy - I know there's a 4th one now, but I haven't seen it and apparently it's not gay. But I feel like, when these came out, people were talking about them all the time and now that a few years have passed, I rarely see people discuss these movies. But they're fun, they're well made and they're gay! I love the Fear Street trilogy a lot
Cat People (1942) - since its from the 40s, it's obviously not explicit in the lesbianism but also I don't know how you could watch this movie without picking up on the queerness. This movie is very sad, but it's quickly become one of my favorites. Visually stunning with great performances
All Cheerleaders Die - I really need to rewatch this one. I dont remember it too well, but it is gay and I do remember really liking it. It is lower budget though, but still one I'll recommend
D.E.B.S. - so silly and campy, and also genuinely really sweet. I enjoy watching this one a lot!!
The Hunger - only recently watched this one, but ohhhh this film is gorgeous. Sad and tragic, but filled with gothic visuals and some great editing!
The Retreat - low budget lesbian slasher movie!!!!
Imagine Me & You - cheesy and cliche romcom, but with lesbians!!!
Tag - ending this off with a very absurd japanese horror that, while not explicitly gay, I feel like it very much is about being a queer woman in a male-dominated society. This movie is weird and doesn't explain anything to you, but I personally found it fascinating!
