Personal Best (1982) Malinda Lo In effect, Personal Best was among the first of a rising tide of gay and lesbian films with relatively positive messages. For the first time, gays and lesbians began to find love in the movies, and... happy endings began to be seen.

RENO 911!: Miami (2007) Malinda Lo I admit I kinda love this kooky, campy show.

Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) Malinda Lo Fried Green Tomatoes is iconic in its presentation of love across the years, across generations and across boundaries. It’s a tamed but still powerful love story -- and a lesbian classic, if only in subtext.

Heavenly Creatures (1994) Malinda Lo As it is, watch Heavenly Creatures for excellent acting and direction, but not for its portrayal of lesbianism.

A Family Is A Family Is A Family: A Rosie O'Donnell Celebration (2010) Heather Hogan The 45-minute narrative plays a little like an after school special - but in America's current political and social climate, I have to wonder who needs the message more: children or their parents.

Captain Marvel (2019) Beth McDonough Overall, any minor missteps in Captain America aren't enough to detract from the fact that Carol Danvers is an enthusiastically essential addition to the MCU.

The Lavender Scare (2017) Beth McDonough The Lavender Scare is a must watch for everyone in today's political climate regardless of sexual orientation.

Blockers (2018) Beth McDonough The sugary sweet love story of Sam and Angelica in Blockers is just right, and it's the one we need to watch on repeat.

Colette (2018) Beth McDonough This film is a biographical portrait, a tender coming of age story, a clap back against the patriarchy, and exploration of womanhood and sexuality, and surprisingly, a poignantly funny period piece.

Vita & Virginia (2018) Beth McDonough Vita & Virginia is a marvelous and mesmerizing love story that should have been brought to screen for the world to see, and that is a win in and of itself.
