Hi, there!
I was wondering if you had some sort of a list of long-lenght GL movies from any Asian country. I've either found short films on GagaOOLala, or very few titles at all.
Hi! There are lots of movies and many good lists to find online, especially on Letterboxd. Here are some I've watched and would recommend:
