Queer Films Worth Checking Out

The following list contains the titles of several dozen films made in the last few decades that deal with significant Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual and/or Transgender themes. Granted, not all are appropriate for every audience, and I recommend looking up the films at http://www.imdb.com for plot summaries and content reviews. Most are widely available at libraries and video stores for your eye-opening viewing pleasure.
