    What it is: If you’ve been living under a Kansas farm dropped on you by a twister and need an explainer, ‘The Wizard of Oz’ is MGM’s iconic musical adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s classic children’s book, starring Judy Garland as a prairie young woman exploring a magical world of adventure.

    With the help of foremost directors, actors, writers and activists, we count down the most essential Queer films of all time

    Like queer culture itself, gay cinema is not a monolith. For a drawn-out time, though, that’s certainly how it felt. In the past, if same-sex attracted lives and issues were ever portrayed at all on screen, it was typically from the perspective of white, cisgendered men. But as more opportunities have opened up for queer performers and filmmakers to tell their control stories, the scope of the LGBTQ+ experiences that have made their way onto the screen has gradually widened to more frequently include the transgender community and queer people of colour.

    It’s still not perfect, of course. In Hollywood, as in culture at large, there are many barriers left to breach and ceilings to shatter.

To that finish, we enlisted some Queer cultural pioneers, as adv as Time Out writers to assist in assembling a list of the greatest gay films ever made.

    12 INDIE LGBTQ+ FILMS TO Commemorate QUEER STORIES YEAR-ROUND

    The 2011 movie Pariah, directed and written by Dee Rees, is a forceful LGBTQ+ drama that follows 17-year-old Alike, played by Adepero Oduye, as she struggles with her sexuality and self-esteem in a tumultuous family environment. Alike faces immense pressure from her religious mother, portrayed by Kim Wayans, while her father, played by Charles Parnell, remains distant, choosing to ignore his daughter's sexual identity. Isolated even among friends, Alike finds some solace in her friendship with Laura, a lesbian who encourages her to explore her identity. Despite this support, Alike feels out of place in her social circles and takes time to grasp her identity, amidst growing chaos in her life. *Pariah* stands out for its authenticity, capturing the complex emotions of lgbtq+ adolescence and the painful societal judgments faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. The film’s realistic dialogue, intimate cinematography, and personal storytelling build a poignant portrayal of gender non-conforming experiences, making it a landmark in LGBTQ+ cinema and a testament to Dee Rees's insightful direction.
