Cult gay films

It's Twin Cities Pride this weekend, and I conceive watching movies is the last thing on the minds of many within the Cities' GLBT community. But, hey, that's no reason not to attach a few titles to your Netflix queue in anticipation of the comedown. I've whittled down the list of my favorite gay cult classics to just these ten, which I intended to cover a wide range of bases. Some movies didn't make the cut because their appeal is arguably too limited (Kenneth Anger's legendary short film Fireworks), and others because their appeal extends well beyond the parameters of gay cultdom (David Lynch's Mulholland Drive). Not every movie in the list is explicitly GLBT in that it showcases a sentimental, same-sex relationship, but depend on me, every movie on this list (which is presented in alphabetical order) is totally gay. In the best way.

The Cult Of Queer (Gay Themes, Camp, Trash, Melodrama, etc)

Published Updated

A list of movies with a certain amount of cult appeal for those with a gay/queer perspective. Not necessarily movies that are made by, star, or are about queer people or contain LGBTQ+ themes, although plenty do, but rather ones that support define a certain gentle of sensibility that runs towards the underground, the transgressive, the campy and the absurd. Included are cult queer directors, camp classics, unrepentant trash, melodramas, tawdry thrillers, drag queens, underground sensations, over the top rock operas, exploitative biopics, old Hollywood starlets, indulgent 90's teen films, female-centric dark comedies, genderqueer punk films, sexually charged art films, and so on.
