The Queer Film Guide

Starting in early cinema with trailblazers like Making a Man of Her and Different from Others, the list progresses through the eras, from Hitchcock's Rope to cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show to today's fast-growing list of queer films, including Carol, The Duke of Burgundy and Moonlight. From lesser-known names to Academy Award winners, The Queer Film Guide offers a fresh take on what defines great cinema, lending a voice to the diverse creators and characters who've shaped the artform.
