There comes a time in isolation where all I want to do is curl up and re-watch some well-loved movies and TV shows. So, I decided to make a list of all my favourite queer films and TV shows, divided into categories. This list is not exhaustive and I am sure I have left so many good ones out!Ìý

Sweet comediesÌý

These are the heart-warming movies and TV shows that make me laugh. This is the biggest category because comedies are great.Ìý

• Handsome Devil -Ìýthis Irish film is extremely under-rated and everyone should watch it!Ìý
• Please Like Me -Ìýeven though this show has so many cringey awkward moments, it is too relatable andÌýmakes me laugh every time.Ìý
• Broad City -Ìývery silly and very funny.Ìý
• Love, SimonÌý-Ìýthe coming of age movie that I wish came out when I was in high school.Ìý
• Sex EducationÌý- hooray for this adorable series which tackles sexuality in a realistic and inclusive way!Ìý
• The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert -Ìýan Australian musicalÌýclassic.
• RentÌý- the best musical of all time.Ìý
• Tangerine -Ìýa gorgeous film shot on an Iphone about survival and friendship.Ìý
• But I'm a Cheerleader -Ìýa very cute film about a cheerleader who realises she's gay.Ìý

Beautiful artsyÌýfilmsÌý

These are the films that make me cry and gaze out the window waiting for my one true love.Ìý

• Brokeback Mountain -ÌýI have never cried in a film so much.Ìý
• Pariah -Ìýa moving film about the difficulties of queer adolescence.Ìý
• Blue is the Warmest Colour -Ìýa beautiful, if somewhat unrealistic, story about first love.Ìý
• Call Me By Your Name -Ìýanother beautiful and unrealistic story about first love (unless you have a villa in the Italian countryside).Ìý
• Carol -Ìýanother beautiful and unrealistic... okay I'm sensing a theme here. Just let me soak up the romanceÌýin peace.Ìý

Dramatic ShowsÌý

And then there areÌýthe TV shows that I watch for the sheer drama!Ìý

• The L WordÌý- honestly one of the most ridiculous, dramatic shows I have ever watched. And yes I have seen all 7 seasons.Ìý
• Lip Service -Ìýthis show is basically the L Word but set in Scotland.Ìý
• The Bi LifeÌý- a dating show where all the contestants are bisexual. It's great.Ìý
• Orange is the New Black -Ìýa prison drama with lots of small queer love stories.Ìý
• SkinsÌý- this show is kinda nostalgic for me and nothing will ever beat the romance between Emily and Naomi in season 3.Ìý
• Sense8Ìý- a fast-paced speculative fiction show that I adore.ÌýÌý
• Queer EyeÌý- a cuteÌýshow with some dramatic makeovers.Ìý

My ultimate favouriteÌý

• Pride -Ìýthis movie takes the cake because it is such an uplifting story about solidarity and friendship, and it manages to be funny, sad and inspiring all at once.Ìý

Happy watching!Ìý
