One of my favorites. Many won't agree. But there is something about reformation era gay that I can't get enough of. Though one might say Queen Christina puts Descartes before the horse.

Annabelle looks like a rejected member of Pink Slip. Good job. One of my fave things about this movie is that song at the end. Adhering to the long-standing tradition of lesbian music, she serenades her teacher via a Lilith Fair style singer-songwriter sad gal ballad. Which is followed by one of the top ten sex scenes on this list. Whatever

Take it or leave it. One of those "lesbian who tries to steal each others identity" brand movies. We've all been that co-dependent, but we don't talk about it. Here's a scary movie the alludes to the subject.

Classic. Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLane cry about being accused of gaytiming each other. This lasts most of the film. Its a sad watch, but worth it. The little girl should be on a top ten list somewhere of movie villains. Wonderfully evil.

All girls school where the sex scenes are not shown but colorfully described with wildly poetic language from the novel by Violette DeLuc. That makes the movie worth it unto its self.

Director: Mike Binder | Stars: Mariel Hemingway, Mike Binder, Renée Humphrey, Taylor Nichols
Votes: 2,897
Same actress from Personal Best playing a bisexual housewife. I like this movie because the husband pressures her to no end to start sleeping with women. It's as if the crux of his very existence rests on it. I also gleaned the term "home court advantage" to describe sex with someone of the same gender from this movie. Perhaps the only gem moment. It's fun and dumb if you're into that (i am) watch it.

Love this movie! A time capsule of lesbian filmmaking. There are monologs given straight into the camera, short animated portions out of nowhere. Wonderful! And AND this movie has a part where they map out how lesbians are interconnected on a CHART. Hello, the L word "Desi" did it first!

love this one. That chick from Lip Service (the Scottish L word, for those who don't know) pretends (? I can't figure this out) to be dating Nina's brother, but is actually a big ol' mo. Great love story. Also, her sister plays the bagpipes at hilarious moments. The cooking montages are also great. Highly Recommend.

Lesbians are minor in this one, i just enjoy period movie lesbianism. They get caught boning in the woods and their school house gets burned down. Is it just me, but does a teacher equate to being a lesbian in these Victorian era films?

Votes: 1,776
Premise: Italy. A long ass time ago. A woman falls in love with another woman. After much homophobia, there is no solution but to pretend there was a mix up at birth from the priest (who is also like a guy who decides such things) and tell the village that the woman they thought was a woman is actually a man. She lives as a man for the rest of the movie and marries her childhood friend, Sara. Who then promptly dies. Everyone dies. It's sad but also a period lesbian movie so I dig it.

Votes: 497
Technically a mini-series and not a movie. But it is so great. There are loads of explicit lesbian scenes though it was from TV in 1990 which seems surprising to me. Also, when I say explicit I mean explicit as in "not implicit" not explicit as in "x rated" though some are pretty steamy. The movie is focused on the real-life affair of Vita Sackville West (the Shane McCutchen of the Bloomsbury Group) and her childhood friend Violete Trefusus. I probably spelled that wrong but i'm not gonna look it up. Love it, watch it if you can find it.
