Live Poll: The L Word in Movies (Pride Month Poll)
Once upon a time, lesbians were taboo in cinema, just as they were in the societies those films reflected. Even the word "lesbian" was hush-hush, resulting in the phrase "the L Word." While bigotry against lesbians still exists, there has been much progress and, at times, movies have helped to lead the way. Below are just some of those films and, according to many, the best.*
Which of these acclaimed movies with lesbians as prominent characters is your favorite?
List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls547831999/
Poll: https://www.imdb.com/poll/rtEoJrt2vn4/?ref_=po_fp
* This list started as a composite of "Best" lists in the magazines Indie Wire, Harper's Bazaar, and Elle. In order to get the list down to 35 movies, the following criteria was used:
1.) Each movie received points according to how many of the magazines included it.
2.) Metacritic scores were also used to determine points.
3.) If there was no Metascore, IMDb scores were used.
4.) To discern between ties, the themes and narratives of movies were considered in order for the final list to reflect variety. Cultural and ethnic diversity and countries of origins and settings were also considered for variety.
