Hey all, I need help pruning/adding to this list of FUN trans/queer friendly films. I haven't seen most of these, so please criticize any and/or suggest things not on the list!
Again, I'm looking for FUN movies that would be good candidates for a trans/queer movie night. Here's what I have based on internet searching:
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is great and fun, but should maybe add a CW as sadly there is some very blatant anti-Asian racism.

Hackers! secretly diverse cast + a lot of surprising queer coded characters
11
Kaputnik [he/him] - 1.9yr
Fresa Y Chocolate (Strawberry and Chocolate) a Cuban film about two gay men and how their identity intersects with Cuban politics. We watched it last year on the hextube

no notes, heavy second on heathers

nemmybun [she/her, sae/saer] - 1.9yr
Maybe Dracula's Daughter? I looked through my queer movies and most of them are sad or already on the last. I wish there were more lesbian movies with happy endings
I enjoyed The Watermelon Woman 1996. Its a documentary-ish film exploring queer history and what it all means.

Anyone who watches the Forbidden Zone should be warned that there’s quite a bit of blackface in it. Amazing movie though, especially if you like 1930s cartoons.

I haven't seen this one, and was thinking of adding it, but I've heard some things saying it's problematic. Is it? or is it something worth watching?
EDIT: Did some more research and it seems alright. Added!

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

most movies worth watching are also problematic
Shortbus
Deep cut, but how about Saved!
Added!
Daisies
I really enjoyed Luca. Ending always gets me crying wholesome tears.
Lol maybe She's the Man?
I really like this thread tho! Queer cinema is always so gross or depressing, Im excited to watch some of these.
Sense8... It's a series, but I highly recommend it
The disney animation Luca is very cute ans very gay
Also some like it hot, absolutely quintessential
I thought I added this before but I guess not. It's added now. Thanks for suggesting!
