26 Best Lesbian Movies to Watch That'll Make You Feel Seen

Whether you're in the mood for a warm and fuzzy romance movie or need a good laugh from a classic teen movie, finding one that accurately depicts queer narratives in a positive light could be a little hard to come by. While most LGBTQ+ films have captured the hardships that come with queerness over the years, finding relatable, lighthearted flicks for a happy vibe has become more of a challenging mission than a thoughtless task.

That's where we come in. We've curated a list of some of the best lesbian movies that do the WLW community justice. From the raunchy wit of Olivia Wilde's directorial debut, Booksmart, to Natasha Lyonne and RuPaul's campy Y2K comedy, But I'm A Cheerleader, these lesbian flicks will give you a good laugh and maybe even inspire your next great love story.

While there are plenty of lighthearted flicks to add to your queue, there are some picks here, like Happiest Season and The Miseducation of Cameron Price, that hone in on tough topics like being in the closet or forced conversion therapy, but they show that happiness can still come out of these experiences. So, grab your fave snack and get the Roku ready, because you won't want to miss these lesbian movies.
