Personal Best (1982)
74%
“In effect, Personal Best was among the first of a rising tide of gay and lesbian films with relatively positive messages. For the first time, gays and lesbians began to find love in the movies, and... happy endings began to be seen.” –

Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)
76%
“Fried Green Tomatoes is iconic in its presentation of love across the years, across generations and across boundaries. It’s a tamed but still powerful love story -- and a lesbian classic, if only in subtext.” –

“I'm not saying that the movie is the best thing ever made for women... But I'll accept that, as a step toward evening the field for women in Hollywood.” –

Carol (2015)
94%
“I loved it. I’m so glad that I saw it and that it exists in the world. It has definitely moved representations of lesbians forward, and I hope that the next time a movie like this is made, more viewers will be better able to feel it.” –

Red Doors (2005)
64%
“It is a new kind of Asian-American film, one that doesn't deal with immigrant identity issues but focuses instead on how these damaged individuals come to terms with each other and their imperfect, but loving, family.” –
