There are so many lesbian movies. There are so many good lesbian movies. And those good lesbian movies have an immense diversity in type and who they’re about.
I understand if this doesn’t feel true — after all, Hollywood’s improved inclusivity has not come nearly far enough. But venture beyond the buzziest queer titles and you’ll find a whole world of cinema waiting for you.
Since putting together Autostraddle’s 50 Best Lesbian Movies of All Time and The Autostraddle Encyclopedia of Lesbian Cinema, people have often asked where to start. 250 total films can be daunting! That’s where this quiz comes in.
Answer these questions and you’ll get a personalized recommendation for an obscure lesbian movie. Every option is in our top 50 but has fewer than 5,000 logged views on Letterboxd.
And, hey, if you’re one of the few who have seen your result, let me know in the comments and I’ll recommend something else!
Olivia (1951)! The description…yeah that’s fair.
Aw, no nerd option for the high school question.
my feeling too!
I got all over me and totes agree!
Spot on! Excited to watch “MURDER and murder” (1996). Tysm 🥰
I got Memento Mori (1999) which I’ve been too scared to watch so far!
For what it’s worth, the movie is more a haunted drama than full horror. I think you could probably handle it unless your horror tolerance is really low!
Oh that’s good to know!!

Oh great; another TERF.
I got Memento Mori!
Momento Mori? Sounds good. I’ll have to watch it sometime.
Hello! I got suicide kale and the description was honestly spot-on?! I feel so seen. Which is probably why I’ve already seen it, lol.
Good reminder! I have suicide kale bookmarked and need to watch it as well.
I’m so glad it resonated and that you’ve already seen Suicide Kale!
Have you seen anything directed by Ruth Caudeli? Like Second Star on the Right or Leading Ladies?
I also recommend Goldfish Memory and Holy Trinity.
Yay! I have not seen ANY of those and will now be checking them out! Thank you so much 💖
Spot on! Excited to watch “MURDER and murder” (1996). Tysm 🥰
Welp, I got Mommy is Coming. Lawdy, the trailer is hilarious!
I got All Over Me which is probably my favourite lesbian film of all time!
Yay! Have you seen A Date for Mad Mary?
No, I need to! Especially since I see it’s by Darren Thornton whose earlier short Frankie I really liked.
