If any of you all have been loitering on the interwebs you might have seen that recently that the BFI released their list of the top 30 LGBT films. It’s a pretty eclectic list and Carol is their #1. Though I think this film is wonderful, #1 having just appeared on the scene is a bit much. So like a regular internet user, I decided to respond with a list of my own, so take a gander at my top 30 LGBT Films of All Time.
Note #1: I am leaving on particular film off the list (Silence of the Lambs) because although it is a great film, I don’t think it speaks particularly to the experience of the LGBT community.
Note #2: Paris is Burning is only not on the list because I haven’t finished it yet :/
