Lesbian movies and tv shows?

[Rachel Sawyer]

Hey I've been looking for any good movies or tv shows about lesbians. There is a decent amount I can find about gay men, but not so much about women. any suggestions?

[Jeannette B]

some good lesbian movies: The Hours, Imagine Me and You, But I'm a Cheerleader, Mulholland Dr., Lost and Delirious, The Children's Hour (super sad though -- so is lost and delirious), Saving Face

I've also always wanted to see The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love, but I never have

Loving Annabelle is my favorite. It's a must-see. Also, if you've never seen Fried Green Tomatoes...it has an underlying lesbian theme. Fannie Flagg [[the author of the book]] intended that Idgie and Ruth fell in love with one another. These are two great ones! As far as TV shows...the L Word can't be beat.

Looking for an honest portrayal of lesbians is very hard to find.....either in TV or movies. However, there are two books that I highly recommend:

1. A Stone Gone Mad
2. Tipping the Velvet (this is by far my favorite, but whatever you do, please DO NOT watch the BBC miniseries. It is a horrible translation)

On a pure entertainment level, I have to agree that "But I'm a Cheerleader" is great. Also check out "Kissing Jessica Stein" and "When Night is Falling."

p.s. - does anybody know what happened to "Exes & Ohs"....the brief but funny series on Logo????

I agree..."When Night Is Falling" is another one worth watching.

Aimee and Jaguar is very good. It's about a lady whose husband is a Nazi officer and she falls in love with a Jewish woman.

Have tissues handy.

I loved Aimee and Jaguar! I started watching it without knowing it was a lesbian-themed movie. Pleasant surprise, but it was very sad.

Better than Chocolate is actually one of my favorite movies of any category. I should watch it again soon.

Well, last night I watched Just a Question of Love - which is about gay men, not lesbians - it was FANTASTIC and intense and I cried A LOT and had tons of nervous laughter... although for some reason I thought the movie would be "funny".

Tonight, I'm hoping for something more upbeat...
