How about some fun movies, involving drag:
The Bird Cage
Kinky Boots (never found out the drag queen's sexuality at all in this)
The Adventues of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (similar idea to To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar)

Ma vie en rose - A French movie about a feminine boy, who talks about marrying his neighbor's son, and doesn't quite understand why everyone around him is so surprised of his girlish personality. (This movie can also be quite funny in some parts.)

Bully - This is actually a documentery and it is more about people who have been bullied and how adults seem to be dealing with it. (It's VERY realistic in my opinion, you need to be in the right mood to watch it though.)

Back Soon - My personal fave
Boy Culture (another fave)
Mulligans
Adam and Steve
The Christine Jorgensen story
Birdcage
Boys Don't cry
Eating out (All four...or five now???)
Latter Days (Another big fave)
Coffee Date (funny and another fave)
3 (german, but good and on netflix streaming
Outrage (Documentary, but good)
To Wong Foo
Soldier's Girl
But I'm a cheerleader (another fave)
If these wall could talk 2
Vampire Boys (crappy acting BUT a lil nudity and come on gay vampires is just too awesome)
Maurice
Another gay movie
Were the world mine (LOVE the soundtrack and who doesn't love Shakespeare)
Whirlwind
Out at the wedding
Save me (another fave)
Relax...it's just sex
Jeffrey
Ciao
Kiss me Guido
The Fluffer
Role/Play (another fave)
East Side Story (another fave)
In and Out
Common ground
Beautiful Thing
3 Day Weekend
Bedrooms and hallways (Who wants to see a gay Agent Smith from Matrix?)
A four letter word
Phoenix
Brokeback mountain
Kinsey

Plus a few others I can't remember, and some foreign ones as well. I still have lots more to see as well. Soon!

Breakfast with Scot is on of my favorite movies. It hilarious and adorable. Probably a bit difficult to find; it's an independent Canadian movie. I saw it during it's brief time on Netflix

I love But I'm a Cheerleader! I'd probably watch it repeatedly if I owned it.

Also, Fried Green Tomatoes is one of my all time favorite movies.

D.E.B.S. was silly and entertaining.

If These Walls Could Talk 2 (although the first time I tried to watch it I got mad about the old ladies and her losing her stuff.... yeah my girlfriend at the time had to tell me more about the movie before I'd try watching it again.

Imagine Me & You - I watch this one repeatedly.

Just watched Accused - Tracie's Story. It's part of a TV series, but each episode is separate and like a short-film. It has lots of great lines and the story is clever.

If anyone (in the UK) wants to watch it it's on BBC iPlayer until 11 September.

My favorite lesbian movies are:
(Not in order)
My Summer of Love
A Woman Like Eve
She Creature
Blood and Roses
Crypt of the vampire
Carmilla
Masters of Horror: Sick Girl

in very rough order of how much I like them:

"Lilies" - 1996 Canadian, arthouse drama
"The Bubble" - an Israeli/Palestinian gay relationship
"Save Me" - about conversion therapy, the best movie I've seen because it's sympathetic to both sides without apologizing for how wrong the "Ex gay" thing is
"Caramel" - a Lebanese beauty salon with some lesbian homoerotic undertones in one subplot
"The Lion in Winter" - it has a gay subplot and both movie versions are beyond superb. set in the middle ages, the gay man in question is Richard the Lionheart
"L'Homme de sa vie" - French drama/romance
"Adan and Steve" - kind of kitschy but very sweet.
"Angels in America" - absolutely amazing and downright poetic
"Big Eden" - a cute romantic comedy
"The Birdcage" - comedy, awesome
"But I'm a Cheerleader" - comedy about ex-gay therapy
"The Color Purple" - drama, amazing
"C.R.A.Z.Y." - Quebecois French-language comedy/drama
"Hedwig and the Angry Inch" - I really don't even know how to describe it but it's awesome. Musical!
"Kinky Boots" - a cute movie about a dying family-owned shoe business that converts to making footware for drag queens to keep from going out of business
"Love and Other Disasters" - romantic comedy
"Fire" - part of a trilogy by Deepa Mehta. Lesbian drama

Man, I finally watched But I'm a Cheerleader the other day, it was super corny but I still got misty eyed at the end.

Better than Chocolate
Loving Annabelle
f*****g Åmål
Tomboy
Romeos

Off the top of my head- "Brokeback Mountain"
"Bound" with Gina Gershwon
"The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister". This is based ona true story from the 19th century. This is a winner for me because I love period flicks.
"The Monkey's Mask" Based on an Australian novel but also features Kelly McGillis.

Imagine me and you

I watched Summer Storm a few weeks ago on youtube. It was in German with no subtitles, so somethings were a little lost on me. But it was still a good film.
