Lesbian movies
by catnguyen-68457 | created - 15 Dec 2016 | updated - 11 Oct 2017 | PublicI've watched lots of movies but these are movies that I would recommend the most. I hope this list will partly help to guide you what to watch if you're interested in lesbian movies. P.s. There are many lesbian movies out there (how lucky!), but some, no, many of them are literally rubbish in my opinion, which normally ruin my mood after watching. P.s.s. Like life, movies are not always have a happy ending!!
