BEST LESBO MOVIES
But I’m a Cheerleader: This movie is just flat out funny, no matter who you. Plus, the ladies love Clea Duvall.
If These Walls Could Talk 2: Cuz deep down inside, I think Chloe Sevigny is SO hot as a butch dyke.
Imagine Me and You: This is just a sweet movie. And Anthony Stewart Head is really cute and funny in it.
Gia: This is the first time I saw (and subsequently developed a crush on) Angelina Jolie. It’s also a solid movie.
Tipping the Velvet: The movie is better than the book, in my opinion. And I just love Nan King. She’s kind of my cross-dressing idol.
Saving Face: This is such a good movie and it’s so much more about familial relationships than lesbians. And I like that.
D.E.B.S.: Super campy and fun. Plus Holland Taylor is in it. What’s not to like?
Lesbo Movies I didn’t Hate:
Bound: I really like this movie a lot. However, Gina Gershon’s character is named Corky. Instead of being sexy, it makes me laugh every time. Just imagine Jennifer Tilly saying “Oh Corky” in that breathy voice. It’s hysterical.
Better Than Chocolate: It’s pretty cute but the acting and the story leave a something to be desired. Same as…
The Incredibly True Adventure of 2 Girls in Love: this movie has a young Laurel Holloman playing a character named Randy Dean. It’s good and terrible all at the same time.
Loving Annabelle: This is a story about a student and a teacher developing a romantic relationship. I’m not sure why the lesbians like this movie so much. Sure, there’s some girl on girl action but I’m not actually supposed to think this is okay, am I? The movie is not so bad though.
Desert Hearts: I think this movie is probably really good if you have better taste in movies than I do.
All Over Me: This movie wasn’t good enough to capture my full attention but it’s worth it to see a young Leisha Hailey rocking out.
WORST LESBO MOVIES:
Kissing Jessica Stein: I liked this movie when it came out. Hell, I even own this movie. However, the more I watched it the more I hated it. Maybe I would like it better if Jessica hadn’t ended up with a dude in the end. Or at least not that dude. I don’t know.
High Art: Did you like this movie? I couldn’t even make it through the whole thing. Another movie that ladies love that I just don’t understand.
Lost and Delirious: OMG. Worst. Lesbian. Movie. Ever. Mischa Barton is even in it which totally proves my point.
Gray Matters: I take it back. This is actually the Worst. Lesbian. Movie. Ever. Here’s the plot: A brother and sister are best friends. They are so close, people actually think they’re dating. The sister is a total lez but doesn’t realize it. They fall for the same girl (who subsequently falls for the brother) and the sister spends the rest of the movie trying to sabotage them. SO bad.
Itty Bitty Titty Committee: I’m really supposed to like this movie. It was even written and directed by the same woman who did “But I’m a Cheerleader” which is one of my favorite lezzie films ever. Alas, I’m not riot grrrl enough to like this movie. I actually thought it was totally boring.
Chasing Amy: This movie wasn't listed on the blog post I found. Still, I wanted to get it on here because I really think this movie is awful. When I was 17 and had never seen girls kissing in a movie before, I loved this flick. Then I got older and was slightly embarrassed for liking it so much. It's just so unrealistic that any lady-loving lady would fall for Ben Affleck. It wasn't believable in Gigli either. But that movie was just one of the worst movies ever made. Period.

I tend to sort of divide my "great lesbian movies" category in two subcategories: 1. good movies that deal with lesbian relationships and 2. movies that matter to me as a queer person. In the latter category, I would like to add to your list:
Mulholland Drive, which turned me gay.
Heavenly Creatures, which might arguably not be lesbian per se, but portrays a very intense relationship between young women, and is just a really interesting movie, based on a true story. Plus, Kate Winslet is pretty, and Melanie Lynsky is just so adorable.
I'd also like to mention (even though it's made for TV, but so was Tipping the Velvet, I think) to Chloe Webb's Mona in Tales of the City. I think she was my first fictional girl crush.
I think Miss V should make movie lists at least once every other week.
Also, don't forget Set It Off (a movie that Anna introduced me to). Not really a lezzie movie, but for some reason, Queen Latifah made an incredibly convincing lesbian. Who woulda thought? Best scene in the movie: Queen Latifah is sitting on the hood of her car, and her scantily clad ladyfriend is dancing like a stripper on top of her.
I'd be interested to hear more about Mulholland Drive's homosexual agenda.
