44, and I’m honestly surprised that I got that many.
Went into this confidently thinking I’d get 50 and only got 45 😭
humbling!
42. Other than a few recent indies im in the know of what’s up. Being a cinephile virgin rules
46 but a couple were educated guesses. I somehow got D.E.B.S wrong, I’m blaming my low screen brightness.
I got 41 which is pretty dang amazing considering that I’ve only seen maybe 4 or 5 of these. I credit AS’s movie coverage with teaching me about movies I have not seen.
I counted – I’ve seen 6 out of 50 but I got 41. So that’s pretty ding dang good.
I also got 41 but mostly based on Autostraddle coverage. I’ve only actually seen a handful, and some of those were becof Autostraddle reviews.
42 !?! I also credit AS’s movie coverage because, to paraphrase Lesley Ann Warren, “I ain’t got no culchure” !
47!
I’m kind of bummed that for the three I didn’t know I didn’t get lucky with my random choices (22, 30, 48), but on the flip side I feel validated in not having an artificially inflated score.
Also highly disappointed that every single screenshot wasn’t of two lesbians pressing their foreheads against each other.
Otherwise, an incredibly perfect quiz experience.
most importantly sally did u like my lost + delirious joke
To be honest I was holding out for a picture of a raptor there but yes!! Well done for not forgetting it!!!!
43/50 & I was on the phone for the last 10, which I only got one wrong.
100%!! What a thrill! I think I only had to make one or two educated guesses.
I’ve seen 26 of them (and started 4 others that I got distracted from and didn’t finish)
CONGRATS YOU WON!!!!
Ha, 42/50, with a few I knew, but pressed the wrong button 😆 And others educated guesses.
42/50! i was riding so high i missed Lost and Delirious though
49 but why are we not talking about Deadloch
ok elena i will watch this show!
18🥲 Can you tell I prefer reading synopses to watching lol
I got 50/50 in 2 minutes and 11 seconds. 😌
Wow that was a fast time!!! Congrats :)
I got 50/50 in 3 mins 45 secs
NICE
Of course you did!!!! Came to the comments hoping to see your score. I’m your biggest letterboxd fan, lol.
40/50.
I haven’t seen a sapphic indie movie since probably 2012 apparantly.
And yes, I also know most of these from AS 😁😁😁
50! Technically 49 but it was only because I pressed too many times as the next one loaded.
it’s ok the same thing happened to me and i made the quiz and honestly still have not recovered from that moment of personal failure
Many thanks to Autostraddle’s top 50 list for helping me score a passable 40. I will be putting “Certified Sapphic Cinema Expert” on my LinkedIn
yes flaunt it!!!!
I just knew I was getting 50, but I got 43. Some of those I hadn’t heard of before!
i am very truly impressed by how much movie knowledge everybody has picked up simply from seeing autostraddle reviews and lists!!! i was worried it would be too hard cuz i have a skewed view on what is “common knowledge” in the world of lesbian pop culture.
Considering how many I haven’t seen, and the number of times that were pure guesswork based on names of movies I remembered hearing about, I’ll take my 27 happily. I do need to see more of them, though.
44! Nice,considering that I made a mistake on one or two answers 😅
Also, I thought it’d be higher score but I haven’t seen a couple of the newer movies.
46/50 and honestly disappointed with that. But hey, that means, I’ve got 4 new (to me) films to see asap.
I’ve seen at most 5 of these, but got 37. Entirely due to Autostraddle, which provides my only knowledge of queer cinema!
43/50. Some I‘ve watched, the rest I‘ve absorbed via queer osmosis.
Awesome quiz! Loved seeing sooooo many fab films!
very proud of my 40/50!!!!
Only 43? I’m disappointed in myself.
Getting 50/50 in 4 minutes and 22 seconds is the highlight of my weekend.
50/50. I have watched 34 of them, but some of them I have on DVD but haven’t gotten around to watching yet. I wasn’t sure about the Penélope Cruz movie, but I knew which one was a Pedro Almodóvar movie, so that made it easier to guess.
