The film’s restrained script, sweeping vistas, and pitch perfect performances from Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as herders turned fleeting lovers is destined to remain a classic film romance.īut I’m a Cheerleader – You might expect not to find a touching love story in a comedic, candy-colored film set in an “ex-gay camp,” but the relationship that develops between two teenage girls (played by Natasha Lyonne and Clea Duval) whose parents want them “cured” has been beloved by fans for over a decade.ĭesert Hearts – When this film was released in 1985, it was a revelation for many LGBT audiences looking for a lesbian film without vampires (see: The Hunger) or a main character being killed off.

Ellen’s Arye Gross stars as a New Yorker who moves back home to Montana to take care of an ailing grandfather, and finds old feelings rekindled for a high school friend while also catching the eye of the shy Native American man who owns the local general store.īound – Before they made their mark with the Matrix films, the Wachowski siblings crafted this neo-noir thriller remembered as much for turning Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly into lesbian icons as it is for its twisty plot. The film also features Maggie’s level-headed, transgender friend Judy finding love with the politically-passionate, bookstore running Francis.īig Eden – This warm and unpretentious film managed to fly under many people’s radars when it was released in 2002, but definitely still worth seeing ten years later. England has produced much of the best and most daring LGBT cinema, as fans of Maurice, My Beautiful Laundrette, and Tipping the Velvet can also attest.īetter than Chocolate – You’ll get two love stories for the price of one in this story of a young Vancouver lesbian named Maggie whose love life is almost derailed by the arrival of her recently divorced mother.
