Move this LGBT movie to the top of your list. The cinematography is stunning, as is the thoughtfulness of the setup - it’s a quiet film, but one that says so much. This LGBT movie is a meditative look at three periods in a man’s life as he grows up, comes out, and settles into himself. Heartbreaking and lovely, this movie absolutely deserved the 2017 Best Picture Oscar (but not the shenanigans that came along during the award ceremony).

It’s an intimate look at a community that has continued to influence our culture in the three decades since its release, most recently in series like FX’s Pose and HBO Max’s Legendary. The joyful explosion of elaborate runway competitions, in which unforgettable contestants show off costuming, choreography, and general fabulousness as only they can, exists alongside the harsh realities of AIDS, racism, poverty, and violence. One of the most beloved documentaries in the queer canon and beyond and one of our favorite LGBT movies of all time, this singular film takes us inside the ballroom culture of late-’80s New York City. Whether you’re closing out Pride Month with a movie marathon or want to continue learning about the LGBTQ+ experience all year round, these movies (in no particular order) can accomplish both. And the editors at Katie Couric Media compiled their favorite LGBTQ+ movies to help you choose. Of course, it’s apparent we need more representation in film, but as of now, there is a pretty great selection of LGBTQ+ movies about the queer experience to choose from. And let’s not forget the classics, like Philadelphia, that walked so Simon could run. Sure, they might be the most fun, but if you’re looking for a quieter way to participate in Pride Month or learn about the LGBTQ+ experience any time of year, try watching a movie! Thankfully, the Hollywood landscape is changing and every year we see more films showcasing LGBTQ+ stories, like Love, Simon and Moonlight. And even during Pride Day and Month, parades aren’t the only way to celebrate and commemorate. We should be honoring and learning about this community all year. Pride Month isn’t the only time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
