Talk:List of LGBTQ-related films/Archive 1

{{talkarchivenav}}

I've added a few films

Spanish and Italians films such as A mi madre le gustan las mujeres, Reinas, Azuloscurocasinegro (that's almost a masterpiece and is upcoming in the States), Sobreviviré, El diputado, Saturno contro (film) or To forget Venice, that is gay but I've not seen it. By the way, Luchino Visconti's masterpiece Conversation piece (film) is so gay in the subtext that when I made the page, I put it on this category but somebody erased it. Perhaps somone with blindness because the guys are bisex and Burt Lancaster is in love with Helmut Berger.

Laura, the Otto Preminger film noir masterpiece, am I the only that think that it's a gay movie ? Cliffton Web is not in love with Laura,. she's a Barbie, he wants to love the cop, he envys all Laura's affais. Lovely film, gay in subtext Rohmerin 12:14, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

All About Eve

I don't recall any same-sex relationships in this movie. Why is it on this list? --Darth Borehd (talk) 05:13, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Further Sorting

I noticed this list is very messy compared to others on the site. Personally I think it should have some sort of list format like the others with short descriptions of each film and be sorted by what issue it covers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.178.198.142 (talk) 18:07, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Twilight?

I see the movie Twilight was recently added to the list. Is there any justification available for this inclusion? HistoryStudent113 (talk) 07:58, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Sort the list?

Shouldn't the list be presented in a table, so that it can be sorted A-Z, its release year etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.191.224 (talk) 22:51, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

: I agree. Should at least be viewable by release year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.189.71.201 (talk) 23:50, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Sortable table

How about sortable table, where you can use year, geanre, director, first actor/actress, and sure if it is gay, lesbian or trans centered as a story. I think the alphabetic order is not very much usable? Can someone do this. --78.128.56.110 (talk) 21:52, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Alphabetizing

It is TERRIBLE on this list. This is what used to be under L.

  1. The Lady in Question Is Charles Busch, US (2005)
  2. La bocca del lupo (The Mouth of the Wolf), Italy (2009)
  3. La chatte à deux têtes (Glowing Eyes), France (2002)
  4. Lakki... The Boy Who Could Fly (Lakki), Norway (1992)
  5. Ang Lalake sa Parola (The Man in the Lighthouse), Philippines (2007)
  6. Ang Lalaki sa Buhay ni Selya (The Man in Selya's Life), The Man in Her Life, Philippines (1997)
  7. La León, Argentina/France (2007)
  8. La ley del deseo (Law of Desire), Spain (1987)
  9. La Mission, US (2010)
  10. Lan Yu (蓝宇), Hong Kong/China (2001)

There, we're treating "Ang" (the Vietnamese word for "the") the same as an English article for alphabetizing, but we aren't doing the same for other articles, such as the Spanish/French "La" (or the French "Les," further down.) I'm pretty sure the latter is generally accepted in alphabetizing; the article would be associated with the phrase to native English speakers. Also, a space SHOULD be treated as a different character. Therefore, "The Lady in Question..." should be much further down the list. In any case, it shouldn't be first.

Also, the numbers should be sorted from...lowest to highest. Not by which digit is first.

I'll try to get through as many as I can.—Preceding unsigned comment added by El erico (talk) • contribs) 01:16, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

No parent article?

I came to Wikipedia looking for an article on LGBT/queer film (whether that's defined by content, director, or audience or some combination) similar to other genres (as you might find in the film genres template at the bottom of some film-related articles) but it simply redirected me to this list. This is not a new subject for scholarly research, so I'm really surprised all I could find here was a list. I can't create new articles, but such an article might include a survey of the kinds of films that could be considered, prominent LGBT/queer film festivals, prizes such as the Teddy Award or Iris Prize, landmark LGBT/queer films like Anders als die Andern or The Boys in the Band, directors or actors of particular note in this area like Bruce LaBruce or Christophe Honore, and links to other material about LGBT/queer film like The Celluloid Closet and [http://www.arsenalpulp.com/bookinfo.php?index=348 Queer Film Classics] book series. 24.57.210.141 (talk) 06:28, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

:Yes, I'm a bit surprised by that too. We have an article on New Queer Cinema, but that's a specific historical trend; we don't seem to have an article on 'queer film' in general besides this list. If we can write LGBT themes in comics, I don't see why it shouldn't be possible to do the same for cinema. Robofish (talk) 16:27, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Deleted Dune. Movie didn't feature a single gay character or theme.

The only gay character is the antagonist, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. He is implicitly shown to have a preference for young boys in the novels. However, since they didn't feel the need to put that in the movie, it shouldn't be labeled as lgbt-related. There's nothing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by El erico (talkcontribs) 00:14, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

but it has Sting in his underwear! thats fairly gay.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.58.124.6 (talk) 15:38, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Clasifficatin in the category

in this list of films it is not clear which categor the film fits in? TO clasiffy the same can we have a bracke with alphabet showing the category. for example a Gay themed movie title would be followed by (G)? --Gboyindia (talk) 09:11, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

:I am removing the (G) is from the list, it is on only 18 films and is easily confused with the film classification suggesting a film is for General Audiences in many countries. Also with many queer subjects it would be hard to classify (e.g. Drag, Gender non-comformity, etc.)

:I am also removing the singular (L). --203.54.3.8 (talk) 19:09, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Full Monty?

You've listed The Full Monty, UK (1997). But the wiki page of this film does not show any LGBT-related category. And I certainly can't remember any theme of this kind in the film. Valetude (talk) 22:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
