what it is

the big queer movie list is exactly what it sounds like.

it is a great big list, complete with reviews and information, of feature films that deal with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and otherwise queer issues.

the list is restricted to films that are available to the common folk—that is, films that have been released on video. the list does NOT include porn movies. (sorry, there are other websites for that.)

the list is arranged by genre: drama, comedy, documentary, miniseries, foreign language, and musical. the films are arranged alphabetically within each genre.

the complete list (all of the genres) can be sorted in various useful and amusing ways; and, if you're looking for something more specific, the entire list can be searched.

why it is

when i first put together this site, it was to be part of an e-zine for queer youth. the e-zine eventually folded, but the big queer movie list lives on. my compulsion to analyze and critique every film i see keeps me writing these reviews, but it is the simple desire to share them, with anyone who might be interested, that keeps me publishing them.

in an ideal world, i would be able to make a living being a queer film critic. however, in not-so-ideal reality, (where every writing/film student and their monkey wants to review movies), the chances of this happening are...well, less than likely. so, i keep working at it, and until such time as a i can be an *official* film critic, i will content myself with being a self-styled one.
