Happy Pride, everybody! I contain always wanted to note a gay-theme film recommendations, but never had the time, so what improved moment than to note it during Pride Month? Here are the five films that are my personal favourite due to good plots, acting and, of course, the feels!
Shelter ()
I have recommended it once here, and will recommend it again cause&#; Shelter is a matchless happy gay film. The film&#;s plot is straightforward, it&#;s about two guys who met during one summer. One is affluent and the other is a struggling student musician. There are drama, adoration and two handsome dudes. So, what&#;s not to like? However, personally Shelter was the first gay-theme film I watched (back in DVDs!) and it serves as a nostalgic reel of my youth and past.
Hawaii ()
Foreign films are the best for numerous reasons and Hawaii is definitely one for its unconventional romance. This Argentinian flick combines eroticism, thriller and romance quite well, but don&#;t deliberate it falls into those sleazy category as Hawaii has an amazing build-up and disposition.

Like queer tradition itself, queer cinema is not a monolith. For a long time, though, that’s certainly how it felt. In the past, if gay lives and issues were ever portrayed at all on screen, it was typically from the perspective of white, cisgendered men. But as more opportunities have opened up for gay performers and filmmakers to tell their own stories, the scope of the LGBTQ+ experiences that have made their way onto the screen has gradually widened to more frequently include the trans community and queer people of colour.
It’s still not perfect, of course. In Hollywood, as in society at large, there are many barriers left to breach and ceilings to shatter. But those recent strides deserve to be celebrated – as do the bold films made long before the mainstream was willing to accept them. To that finish, we enlisted some LGBTQ+ cultural pioneers, as well as Time O If ever there was a Superbad for queer girls, Bottoms is it. The second film from director Emma Seligman (Shiva Baby) follows two uncool high school seniors (Ayo Edebiri and Rachel Sennott) who start up a educational facility fight club to try and hook up with their cheerleader crushes (Kaia Gerber and Havana Rose Liu).
