5 MORE Queer Horror Films
Posted on 1 September, 2024Three years ago, I write about 5 Queer Horror Films that were spooky and perfect for the Halloween season. However since then, I’ve uncovered a few more queer horror films that are worth mentioning. Some are horror classics, while a few are more recent additions. And in one film’s instance: I had to choose between both the original classic and it’s modern remake! However, while times have changed and cinematography has improved, the queer horror…

5 MORE Queer Music Films
Posted on 1 February, 2025As I noted in a prior monthly post, 5 Queer Music Films, there’s a fine line between a queer musical and a queer music film. According to IMDb, a music film is one that: “contains significant music-related elements while not actually being a Musical; this may mean a concert, or a story about a band (either fictional or documentary). Subjective.” It really comes down to whether the music in a film is part of the story, often…

5 MORE Queer Musical Films
Posted on 1 August, 2025I first wrote about queer musical films when I posted my 5 Queer Musical Films posts three years ago. Hard to believe that it’s been that long for one of my favorite genres. Which means that it’s time to revisit the genre again! Despite the fascination that many of us queers have with musicals, not all musicals are actually queer. And even fewer musicals have received film adaptations. Thankfully, there are still plenty of queer…

5 MORE Queer Romcoms for Valentine’s Day
Posted on 1 January, 2025Back when I started Queer Film Reviews, my “5 Queer RomComs For Valentine’s Day” was the first non-holiday post on the site. I felt that it was the best post theme, because everyone loves romcoms. And Valentine’s Day simply calls for both romance and a dash of comedy. So as Queer Film Reviews goes into it’s SIXTH year, I felt it fitting to revisit Queer RomComs, especially since they’re PERFECT for Valentine’s Day. Which is…

5 MORE Queer Sport Films
Posted on 1 October, 2024Sexy boys in rugby shorts. Rowers practicing shirtless. Boys changing in the locker rooms. All of these are common images that queer sport films evoke. When I first addressed the sport genre, I certainly didn’t shy from the homoerotic pleasure that is evoked in environments where being nearly naked are acceptable. This time I have five MORE queer sport films that take it to a new level! But before we go any further, let’s a…

5 MORE Queer War Films
Posted on 1 July, 2025I first dove into queer war films four years ago with my post: 5 Queer War Films. So I felt it was time to dig up a few more to share with you! War films are a genre that doesn’t need any explanation: they are films that take place amid or during armed conflicts. When you add an LGBTQ element, then it becomes a queer war film. Interestingly and perhaps a bit oddly, many queer…

5 MORE Trans Films
Posted on 1 April, 2025It’s been nearly four years since I shared 5 Trans Films for Transgender Awareness Week. So I felt it’s high time that I revist this specific part of the LGBTQ spectrum. Especially because current events and politics have brought the topic into everyday conversation – although not always in the most positive light. So let’s try to change that! As I noted before, I do not consider myself an expert on transgender films. BUT I…

5 Queer “Adult” Films
Posted on 1 June, 2025A few years ago, I discussed the very subtle difference between Queer Adult Films, and Queer “Adult” Films. Feel free to check it out HERE real quick if you missed that breakdown. Back already? Or perhaps you didn’t check it out because you knew I’d recap it for you anyways. Well, you’re right – I will! But that’s not because I didn’t trust you to check out the other post. You see, the difference is…

5 Queer Bollywood Films
Posted on 1 August, 2024One of my goals with Queer Film Reviews is to share queer films you may not have heard about. And for various reasons, many of you may not be aware of the many amazing foreign LGBTQ films. So I’ve decided to start taking you “Around The World” via queer films! First up… India! Now, Indian (or Hindi) cinema is actually quite an impressive industry! Popularly known as Bollywood or even Bombay Cinema, it is essentially…

5 Queer Christmas Film Reviews for 2019
Posted on 23 November, 2019‘Tis the season to deck the halls, make ourselves a cup of hot cocoa, and cuddle up by the fire while watching classic Christmas films! Well… I’m actually trying to stay cool and not get sunburn while getting ready for the Christmas BBQ – while singing Christmas carols in jandals… ? This holiday season will be my second Christmas down here in New Zealand, but I am still not sure I can adapt from the…

5 Queer Christmas Films To Look Out For!
Posted on 11 November, 2020It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! (Yes… I KNOW it’s only November… but the first film/series premieres tonight!) While this year hasn’t given us too much look forward to, there’s something special about the Christmas holidays. I will freely admit that since moving to New Zealand, I truly miss the cold weather, the snow, and everything else that you think of to bring you into that special holiday spirit. But the one element…

8 NEW Queer Christmas Films Coming In 2021!
Posted on 2 December, 2021Last year, 2020, was full of a LOT… a year that will not be forgotten for ages to come. But there were some good things – such as all of the Queer Christmas films that broke new ground! Hallmark finally released a film with a gay storyline with The Christmas House, Lifetime progressed from the gay sub-story to a true gay Christmas storyline with “The Christmas Setup”, and we had a few other films that…

Agender Films to Watch for Agender Pride Day
Posted on 19 May, 2023May 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….

Even MORE Queer Romance Films
Posted on 11 March, 2024When you think of film genres, there are a few that will jump to most folk’s mind: Drama, Comedy, Action, … and Romance! In fact, many of these common genres are often combined as the key elements of each genre work well with others. For example, Romance and Comedy blend into another genre itself: the Romcom! But today, I’m focusing mainly on the Romantic elements – even if some of the films below incorporate other…

Halloween Shorts 2020
Posted on 31 October, 2020I realise that TONIGHT is Halloween (technically it’s already over for me down in New Zealand!) and that I’m posting this VERY last minute…. sorry!?! I only discovered yesterday that Out On Film was hosting a “Horror Shorts for Halloween” online festival. Since I wasn’t quite in the mood to go out and party tonight (it’s not really as big of a thing here in NZ), I opted to stay inside and watch these seven spooky…
