Pansexual Films to Watch for Pansexual Awareness Day
May 24 is Pansexual Awareness Day, so you know what that means? Happy Pansexual Awareness Day! Pansexuality is the sexual, romantic, or emotional attraction towards people of all genders, or regardless of their sex or gender identity. Yet for such a simple definition, the application of the word is what often trips many folks up! Many pansexuals explain their sexuality as “gender-blind”, ie not letting a person’s sex or gender determine their attraction towards that…
Agender Films to Watch for Agender Pride Day
May 19 is Agender Pride Day, so you know what that means? Happy Agender Pride Day! For anyone who isn’t familiar with Latin, the prefix “a-” means “without”. Thus, agender means one who is without gender. Folks who identify themselves as agender do not associate with one particular gender. Other terms used include genderblank, genderfree, genderless, gendervoid, non-gendered, ungendered, and null gender. Many use the pronouns “they/them”, however people choose whatever they feel comfortable using….
Best 5-Star Queer Films to Buy/Watch on Amazon & Prime Video
Last month, I shared MY list of Top 10 Best-Rated Queer Films to Watch/Buy on Amazon and Prime Video. In that post, I focused solely on queer & LGBTQ films that I have reviewed here on Queer Film Reviews. However, some of you felt that I had left out some equally amazing queer films from that list. (And some didn’t quite realize that I ONLY included films I had written a full review on…) So…
Queer Biography Films For Pride Month
It’s nearly June, so you know what that means, right? It’s PRIDE Month!!! Well, for folks living in the US that is! (For those of us queer folk living in the UK, Australia, & here with me in New Zealand, our Pride month was actually back in February.) During June, all LGBTQ & Queer sites will be promoting various Pride-related posts, products, etc – and many larger companies will be hoping on the Queer bandwagon…
Where The Bears Are – All Seven Seasons!
From the creative team of Rick Copp (The Brady Bunch Movie), Joe Dietl (Mom, Maron) and Ben Zook (Jack and Jill), “Where the Bears Are” is a comedy & mystery web series that has accumulated over 40 MILLION VIEWS since it’s premiere in 2012. When the series premiered on YouTube in 2012, it was a small, self-financed foray by Ben Zook, his husband Joe Dietl, and Rick Copp that they filmed in their own home. All three also star…

Lesbian Films to Watch for Lesbian Visibility Week
It’s Lesbian Visibility Week!!! But wait… what IS Lesbian Visibility Week? The entire week is dedicated to celebrate lesbians, promoting solidarity with all LGBTQ women and non-binary folks in the queer community. Interestingly, it was originally celebrated during July West Hollywood from 1990-92. However in 2020, backed by Diva magazine, the weeklong celebration was moved to coincide with Lesbian Visibility Day, an annual celebratory day in the UK for lesbians on April 26 that itself…
Best-Rated Queer Films to Buy/Watch on Amazon & Prime Video
While many today still consider films that feature queer LGBTQ characters and storylines rather niche, that is actually quite far from the reality. There are HUNDREDS of LGBTQ films, shorts, & series to buy on DVD or BlueRay from Amazon alone. In fact, if we focus on queer films you can stream or watch online, there are THOUSANDS – with over two thousand to be found just on Prime Video! So with such a plethora…
Queer Adult Films
Today we’re venturing into a bit of a grey area… Queer Adult Films. I’m sure with those words alone, you’ve got a certain kind of film in mind. But wait – Michael, are you actually going to review THOSE kinds of films! Nope! While many folks might not see the difference, there actually is a subtle distinction between queer adult films and porn. So what makes a film an “Adult” film instead of just calling…
More Queer Comedy Films
Last year I shared five Queer Comedy Films – all FIVE of which are incredible comedies! But it’s time I make a confession… I had quite a difficult time paring down a rather long list of amazing queer comedy films to just five. I simply couldn’t! Somehow I managed to select just ten films. I listed them by IMDb’s rating, and only shared the first five in last year’s post. And now it’s time to…
Queer News Films
I’ll be the first to confess – this month’s theme was a tricky one to plan! Sure, it’s easy to find a list of queer films & shorts that IMDb includes under their News genre. But the bigger question I had was: what makes a queer News film DIFFERENT from a queer Documentary? According to IMDb, films in the “News” genre are defined as: “Reports and discussion of current events of public importance or interest….
More Queer Romance Films
‘Tis the month of love & romance – it’s Valentine’s Day! Time to get bombarded with pink & red hearts, Cupid’s arrows, and outbursts of love. While not everyone is ready to enjoy this commercial holiday, it can be hard to ignore the allure of romcoms or romantic films. (For those of you looking for something different, unfortunately this post isn’t for you). If you’re after some great queer romcoms, you can check out this…
Favorite Queer Shorts
Every month, I post a new collection of queer films & shorts. These “Top 5” posts are almost always connected by a theme, and of course to make it interesting, I run a guessing game across my social media channels. However, most of the films included in these posts are queer films – NOT queer shorts. (Partly due to bias as I determine the films in each post based of IMDb ratings, and there are…
