Listal's Favorite Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Queer films.
Nominated and voted by Listal members
|--------------- The Rules ---------------|
Each member can nominate up to 10 films for others to vote for (no more than 10, and if you don't have any to nominate that's fine). Also, each member can vote for 10 films that have already been nominated, and each vote will count as 1 point for each film voted on (as opposed to the usual Listal points scale). Both don't have to be done at the same time, especially while the list is in the early stages & nominated films are fewer.
So, each Listal member can post: 10 films (or less) they wish to nominate, and 10 films they wish to vote for that have already been nominated.
Finally, in the event you have more than 10 films you'd like to recommend that others check out, feel free to mention them as well & they'll be added in the "Not Nominated - Not Voted" section for consideration.

=============================
Thanks to
the giraffe for helping me to rewrite the nomination point system.
Hope you enjoy the list. Cheers :)

Number of great films on here that I'll be coming back to vote for!
I've been sticking to films that I've actually seen and have a more or less coherent memory of. But there are a few titles out there that I'm surprised aren't up yet. So, as my nomination total is now up to 4, I'll probably come around again soon with some more picks. Ha, that is if my sorta patchwork approach isn't too much a pain in the ass :)

2. The Talented Mr. Ripley
3. Albert Nobbs
La piel que habito (2011)
J'ai tué ma mère (2009)

Xi yan (1993)
Y tu mamá también (2001)
Before Night Falls (2000)
Films I'm not sure would qualify
1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
2. Persona
3. Some Like It Hot
Other films
1. Ed Wood
2. F for Fake (a documentary partially about a gay art forger)
3. Rebel Without a Cause
I wouldn't really add 2001, as more looking for films with a main or significant characters in a film.
I think if it is good enough for Wikipedia is it is good enough for me.

9. The World According To Garp
10. To Be Or Not To Be '83
You are still free to nominate films.
Also, staggering votes is acceptable. I'm going to go a head and vote for five films and hold off till later to make a final 5 pick selection.
Ha, I'm hoping this makes it easier for people. Tho, it sounds more complicated.
1) Persona (sexuality is unclear)
2) Some Like it Hot (some gay moments (spoilers))
3) Ed Wood
4) F For Fake
5) Rebel Without a Cause
I'll probably add another five later.

2.Heavenly Creatures (1994)
3.Philadelphia (1993)
4.Rebel Without a Cause (1955)
5.Persona (1966)
Yes, you can vote for a film you nominated. I didn't state that in the rules... so just to clear that up.
@carryonbuff I'm still not sure about the third film you listed. If it is the "Together Again (1944)" film I'll be happy to add it to the list.
1. All About My Mother
2. Dog Day Afternoon
3. Kiss of the Spider Woman
4. Mala Noche (so glad someone else has watched this!!)
5. Milk
6. Monster
7. My Own Private Idaho
8. Mysterious Skin
9. A Single Man
10. Y Tu Mama Tambien
As for carryonbuff's suggestion, there's maybe a chance that he's talking about Together Alone (1991). The movie's Listal page basically doesn't contain ANY information about the movie, but if you look it up on imdb and elsewhere, you'll see that it's a film that would definitely fit into the list. I guess we can't simply assume that this is the one he's talking about, but just thought I'd throw that out there.
5. Milk
6. Kiss Of The Spiderwoman
7. Philadelphia
I will hold off on my last three votes for now but I would like to add Cabaret to the not voted-not nominated category.
1. Midnight Cowboy
2. Suddenly, Last Summer

4. Notes on a Scandal
5. Capote
I'll vote later.

@jaytoast, it is going to be a hell of a work to update this list. Good luck!
If I understand correctly, you should nominate a movie which is not yet on the list yet but for the voting it doesn't matter?
1. Heartless 2009
1. Tell No One (2006)
2. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
@Happy Vader Not sure how "Heartless" fits but it is going in the nominations area regardless. Besides, it will give me a film to re-watch perhaps I can figure out why I have such a strange fondness for the film ;)
@Ryan P. Added to the nominations. Thanks :)
- 'Les témoins' (2007)
- 'La cage aux folles' (1978)
- 'Breakfast on Pluto'(2005)
- 'Butterfly kiss' (1995)
- 'The children's hour' (1961)
- 'D.E.B.S.' (2003) (actually, it is pretty bad but I thought it was pretty funny to nominate it, sorry about that...)
- 'Morte a Venezia' (1971)
- 'Wilde' (1997)
- 'Far from heaven' (2002)
- 'Gazon maudit' (1995)
My vote :
- Butterfly kiss
- The wedding banquet
- The crying game
- A single man
- Milk
- Happy together
- Brokeback mountain
- Gods and Monsters
- Boys don't cry
- Fucking amal
I will probably regret my vote in a few days but well....
Anyway, how about Clueless? The main character, Christian turns out to be gay and one of the teachers, Ms. Stoeger is a lesbian!
M. Butterfly
In hopes that others will vote for it, since I forgot to.
Truly, sorry about that :/
