The 25 Sexiest Queer Movies of All Time
These days, queer movies come in all shapes and styles, from handsomely mounted biopics (Milk) to kid-friendly rom-coms (Love, Simon). Thats a good thing; you desire queer art to like variety and novelty, and appeal to all audiences in the LGBTQ people. But sometimes, you crave something very specific from a queer film; you want it to be sexy as hell.
When lgbtq+ movies started bubbling into the mainstream in the early 90s via movies like Philadelphia, they tended to be slightly sanitized, lacking much in the way of physical depictions of intimacy.

It's as chaste a love story as you're likely to see in the 21st century—the hunky gardener who makes the title teen question his sexuality is wearing a long-sleeved shirt, for God’s sake—but you know what?

A gay fantasia on Elton themes. An Elton John biopic was never going to be understated, but this glittering jukebox musical goes way over the top and then keeps going.
