Netflix in Canada is hit and miss on these.
They have some of my favourite titles like, Broken Hearts Club, I Think I Do, Lillies and Were the World Mine, but they are missing a lot of the great ones. They also have a lot of offerings that are sub-par (my opinion, others may think differently).

| I've been watching a load of early films by Pedro Almodóvar recently. They're mostly about (mostly heterosexual) women, but they're completely gay. And brilliant. |

I really liked that film when I was younger (ain't seen it in a while). I thought they were just friends in it.

| Torch Song Trilogy is hands down the best LGBT movie I've ever seen and probably one of the best movies I've seen period. I love Jeffrey and Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Show Me Love, but TST has its own gravity. |

Most of my favorites have been mentioned already so I won't rehash what's been said, but my all time favorite movie (gay or not) ever hasn't come up yet:
Saving Face (2004).
Perhaps it's just because I identify with the main character (in that I am shy/awkward and have a thing for dancers), but I find it the most adorable romantic story ever. I like that it falls somewhere in between being a "gay movie" and a movie with gay characters, because you could just as easily classify it as a movie about intergenerational relationships in Chinese-American families.
Also, if you're into Christmas movies, Making the Yuletide Gay is cheesy but actually pretty good. |

Already mentioned but still gets a favourite vote: Ma Vie en Rose (France, 1997)
Honourable mention:
Different for Girls (UK, 1996)
XXY (not strictly LGBT, but you'll be able to relate anyway; Argentina, 2007) |
