Hottest gay movie

It’s currently streaming on HBO Max.

Hedda

Hedda stars Tessa Thompson as a 1950s British socialite navigating a lavish party while confronting the return of her former lover Eileen (Nina Hoss).

It’s one of the greatest movies of the 2010s, telling the story of Chiron, a quiet and withdrawn boy growing up in Miami, in three parts. Rachel Sennott plays Danielle, a 20-something who runs into both her ex-girlfriend and her current sugar daddy (plus said sugar daddy’s wife) at a shiva. Thankfully, its 1987 film adaptation, directed by James Ivory, is equally charming and hopeful.

Despite some of the heartbreaking moments, it’s not a sad story at all — in fact, it’s a life-affirming ode to the worthiness of real, serious love.

This sweet love story is as much a coming-of-age film as it is a tender sapphic romance.

Wilhelmina “Wil” Pang (Michelle Krusiec) is a young, talented surgeon on track to become chief of surgery at her hospital. It’s funny and ridiculous and stressful and, by the end, surprisingly sweet.

This Obama-produced Netflix original is far from the best when ranked alongside the many retellings of the period leading up to the March on Washington in 1963.

You should still watch it, though, because the director, Céline Sciamma, understands that a sidelong glance or a not so accidental brush of the hand can be more erotic than actual sex — and that there’s nothing quite so erotic, or romantic, as being fully and completely seen by another.

Ingmar Bergman’s Persona manages to convey abstraction and the feeling of a dreamlike stupor with a total clarity of storytelling.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Moonlight significantly altered the landscape of not just queer film but film in general.

Elordi plays Julius, a Korean War veteran who falls for his casino coworker Henry (Diego Calva).

However, when Ellie starts developing feelings for Aster, things get complicated.
