Set around a birthday party, it’s one of the first features to deal with gay life on its own terms, including copious boozing, relationship strains and lacerating recriminations.

Written by Cath Clarke, Dave Calhoun, Tom Huddleston, Alim Kheraj, Guy Lodge & Ben Walters To celebrate, we asked some LGBTQ+ cultural pioneers and Time Out writers to help us put together the most essential LGBTQ+ films ever made. Nevertheless, it’s worth celebrating how far things have come in recent years. Of course, there is still a long way to go before queer cinema is entirely mainstream, and as documentaries such as Disclosure demonstrate, there is a lot of work to be done, especially in terms of trans representation on screen. Pop heartthrob Harry Styles also stars in My Policeman, a period drama set in 1950s Brighton about a police officer who marries a woman while also embarking on a love affair with a gay museum curator. Things in 2022 are only going to get better, too: comedian Billy Eichner will become the first openly gay man to write and star in a romatnic comedy for a major Hollywood studio with his film Bros, and the legendary Billy Porter makes his directorial debut with What If?, which is about a trans high school student who gets asked out by a boy she has a crush on. There are even LGBTQ+ Christmas movies, like the Kristen Stewart-starring Happiest Season and Netflix’s Single All The Way, released in 2021. Of course, 2005’s Brokeback Mountainpushed queer cinema out of the closet, but in the nearly 20 years since films like Love, Simon, the first teen romantic comedy produced by a major studio to feature a gay lead character, Barry Jenkins’s Oscar winner Moonlight, 2017’s A Fantastic Woman, Céline Sciamma’s sumptuous Portrait of a Lady on Fire, vital French AIDS drama 120 Beats Per Minute and the groundbreaking Tangerine, shot entirely on iPhones, have provided brilliant, urgent and essential representations of all the different facets of queer life. Now, nearly every corner of the LGBTQ+ community lays a claim to the silver screen.
Where, in years gone by, the majority of films have focused on the lives of (predominantly white) gay men, over the past decade there’s been a steady stream of quality films exploring the full gamut of the queer experience.
