I've seen 38 from 93. I'll see if I can get it to 45 before the deadline. not a very strong top 30.

It's also one of the few mainstream films of the 1950s to include a "homosexual" character. of course it's the villain, but in the early to mid 1950s, censorship had gotten soo bad that you could not even mention the term' "Gay or homosexual" so the filmmakers had to get around "gay coding" with subtexts, which it was actually a little easier to see through in the 1930s and 40s actually cause there rules weren't as harsh yet. it's not quite as oblivious in this film as some but if you look at certain details it is there a pretty clear. it's basically hiding in plane sight. just a little tid-bit about the film.

FYC: Just watched it... it's so gay. and glorious.

I think it sounds like it counts. I may be able to extend the deadline a bit more if I know there are more people wanting to give fuller lists. I have some films on my lists that don't 100 percent fit that criteria. and I can't watch everything so I will just have to trust some people to use their own judgement.

Yeah went it excited. I LOVED Greta Gerwig's Little Woman and I also Liked Lady Bird. but this is not either of those movies. it's overly preachy, the barbies treat the Ken so horrible that I didn't blame them for taking over Barbieland and America Ferrera's daughter is one of the most unlikeable character's I have ever seen in a film. I did think it looked amazing. and Margo Robbie and Ryan Gosling were GREAT in the movie. but it can only do so much with a really messy-overly political script. I walked out thinking of giving it a B- but over time I think I may actually give it a C.

Just watched Suavage.. wow if you don't like extremely graphic sex scenes or are sensitive to violence, especially sexual, it's not for everyone, but it was really really well made and thought provoking. FYC Sauvage/Wild (2018)

from the what now? I copied and pasted a blurb from someone for names, I don't expect everyone to participate, but I'm too lazy to remove names, just ignore my tags lol

We definitely in a better place when it comes to laws in american. but there is a lot more polarization than there used to be, I feel like lots of acceptance of the masses, mostly conservatives which I feel where starting to come around, but have backed tract a lot, I blame the views of some of the media for focusing on some of the most extreme and worst parts of the LGBT community to divide us. I feel there is alot of people in positions of power who really want this country to be divided so that we will not grow.

The Birdcage was definitely gay. but it was more mainstream and accessible. I honestly think general audiences had more good will towards gays in the late 90s/early 00s then they do now.

I honestly don't remember that scene. I mean it technically makes it count. I really appreciate that you are making an effort. it's just I feel like some people are missing the point of this countdown, it is a about queer stories being told front and center, not your favorite movies that have blink and you'll miss it LGBT nods.

Ah, Yeah It probably won't WIN. I do think it will get nominated though. I really don't care about weather or not it is though the Oscars are off on about 60% of movies anyways. I just want to see it in November. there is nothing else I am even excited for after that really.

Robert Downey Jr.- Oppenheimer, Ryan Gosling - Barbie.

18,101 years?!!!! 💀☠️ Sorry I couldn't resist. seriously though, Dune will be fine in 2023. everyone loved Dune and will see it anyways. I don't wan't my most anticipated film getting delayed again.

Oppenheimer should be a serious contender imo

Thanks for the list. but I am sorry TURNING RED is NOT LGBT. It's about bunch of boy crazed teenage girls. good movie. but they were all VERY straight in that movie. If you can't put another movie I'll accept the list. but I'm not giving turning red points.

And how crazy inflation has been the last couple years.

Bought my tickets for Barbie and watch Oppenheimer after

You haven't seen the best X-Men film?? watch it right away!

Yes.

Tom Cruise as Mr. Tumnus? lol no.

I thought actors couldn't carry a film anymore.. unless they were like Tom Cruise in an action film or Julia Roberts in a Romantic Comedy. I highly doubt it will make a huge difference for most of the blockbusters releasing this year.

I hope not, it's the only upcoming release this year that I am legitimately excited for.

Yes it was quite good, My favorite of his is Hawaii though, The Blonde One and Taekwondo are also very good imo. Also not Berger, but The Strong Ones directed by Omar Zúñiga is fantastic.
