Hot gay movies 2021
I'm tired of seeing the similar 10 films on every website's LGBTQ+ movie roundup (hey, I still love Call Me by Your Name and Moonlight just as much as the next person, so don't come for me!), so, as a lgbtq+ person myself, I wanted to shine a light on some underrated movies that simply don't get the attention or credit they deserve. Below are 40 that I genuinely think you'll love, and if you desire even more suggestions, you can check out my running list on Letterboxd with nearly films. Enjoy!
1.Young Hearts () is a modern coming-of-age story about two year-old boys who fall in love for the first hour. This Belgian movie is awkward and sweet and painfully actual. I can't rave enough about it, and the only downside is that it wasn't released 20 years ago when I was their age and needed it most.
2.National Anthem () is one of my favorite movies from the last few years, so I'm sort of hoping (well, demanding) that you see it. It's a tender, refreshing look at queerness and chosen family and what it means to actually belong. Too many people are sleeping on Charlie Plummer, The 30 Best LGBTQ Movies on Netflix Right Now
