The 7 best movies for your Pride movie marathon

By The Bellesa Team

We are celebrating every day of Pride Month, even if it’s with a chill night in! So grab your partner or your whole damn crew for the most iconic movie marathon.

We asked the Bellesa community what their fave LGBTQ2IA+ movies are and we’re so excited to share the responses with you!

7. Rocky Horror Picture Show

Duh! Next.

6. Blue is the Warmest Color

The French really know how to tell a romance story. Everything about this is *chef’s kiss*

5. Love, Simon

Take the classic high school coming of age movies of of the 00’s and make it inclusive. This one had me smiling and kicking my feet!

4. Jennifer’s Body

This cult classic having a resurgence on TikTok is literally everything. Film buffs (especially the horror film lovers) hated this movie, but the girls that get it get it.

3. To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar

The drag queen road trip comedy you never knew you needed. It's giving Little Miss Sunshine meets Ru Paul's Drag Race with a hint of Crossroads.

2. The Birdcage

In the wise words of Lady Gaga, “talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular”. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane are unmatched.

1. But I’m a Cheerleader

Y’all love this movie and we get it. Hilarious, iconic, stacked cast, it does not miss. If you haven’t seen this, watch immediately! If you have, then it’s time for a rewatch.

If you’ve seen all of those and are looking for more recs, here are some honourable mentions: Below her mouth, Boys on the Side, Debs, Fire, Pride, Boys Don’t Cry, Brokeback Mountain, Carol, Interview with a Vampire, The Danish Girl, Rent, Rocketman, My Policeman, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Mulan (I back it), Moonlight, Milk, Crush.

Happy Pride!
