Ranking Lesbian Rom-Coms

[@EvelynDar]

CORRECTION: IMAGINE ME & YOU PLOT So it seems I completely misremembered 'Imagine Me & You' Homegirl didn't hire sexy Cersei, her mama did. Was there immoral shenanigans? Eh, a little, but homegirl wasn't the coldhearted cheater I made her out to be in the video. I'm sorry to this woman 😔

I was about to start up about justice for Image Me and You, but then I saw this comment lol. She fought it!!! 😂 Honestly, the only thing that bothers me about the movie is the poster lol, I hate that the husbands friend is on it, he had nothing to do with any of it really.

Once you’ve watched Saving Face, the bar is set high for any subsequent lesbian film you watch after it.

Watched alice wu's "The half of it" I would put both of wu's films on top stop hands down nothing comes close to these two in terms of lesbian films

@@akshaykhatri1531 in terms of lesbian rom com films* i have not seen Saving Face yet, I loved The Half of It but i would never say nothing comes close in terms of lesbian films. Drama is almost always superior to comedy, idk you can take this year's movie "You Can Live Forever" i would say it's def better than The Half of It

[@akshaykhatri1531]

@@srta.carlota696 i believe "The half of it" is actually more drama centric then comedy. Its not usual rom com neither does it has any cliche rom/com vibe to it. The film has no nudity no sex sences only 2 kissing scenes were shown yet the romance we felt between characters feels real kinda how it would be in real world On top of that thanks for recommending 'You can live forever' I am putting this in my watchlist I will definitely watch it probably around this weekend.

Have to add DEBS to part two. A favorite super cute funny love the cast and the 80's music.

I'm going to watch Saving Face tonight because you highly recommend it and it looks pretty sweet. I have an ambivalence to Kissing J. Stein.

Where did you get the idea that with "Imagine You and Me" the Rachel character hired the Luce character to do her wedding flowers when she was already attracted to her? I just re-watched it to make sure, but the first time they see each other is at the wedding as Rachel is walking down the isle. It's actually an important part of the plot. I think you must have gotten something from another movie mixed in with "Imagine You and Me." Which kinda nullifies your statement about Rachel not being moral ...

It was a beautiful movie, I recommend.

I enjoyed Thelma and Kiss Me, but would not classify them as Rom-Com. I’ll have to go watch Tomboy; that title is new to me. And no, Desert Hearts is not too old, whippersnapper.

[@kryscall4544]

@@mpearson1280 i'm 67, so a sincere thanks for calling me whippersnapper, it's been 5 decades and feels great. you Are right, Thelma is a lesbian something else. but Kiss Me follows the Austenian plotline that rom-coms follow, so it may technically be one even if it does not feel like one? Tomboy is coming of age and has plenty of joy and plenty of angst. if you love French movies and summertime, you may love it, but once again i am wrong, it is not a rom-com. however, i disagree with our girl Evelyn Dar about Imagine Me and You. i think that the Piper Perabo character did not know what she felt for the florist, just that she wanted to know more about her, and that it slowly dawned on the Piper gal after she was married. hopefully they were not still together when the florist became a villain in Game of Thrones.

[@Lordmunkey]

Such a similar tiering to myself. We need more things on the level of "but im a cheerleader"

[@NE8675309]

Great placing for Kissing Jessica Stein. I've always liked this movie; at the time it came out it wasn't just about whether or not they were queer (Helen absolute is; compulsory heterosexuality lesbian-vibes) it was also making a statement about the fluidity of sexuality. Women broadening and owning their sexuality without the involvement of men. Honestly, if they both had gone back to men, I would've been bothered, but I kind of like how the movie pushes against the idea that there was no point when their relationship not only made Jessica a more open-minded and evolved version of herself, but it also made Helen realize how she connected and fell in love (most likely for the first time in her life) with a woman. I may not be the best judge, because I actually like Gray Matters. (To be fair, I had a crush on Heather Graham for a good chunk of my adolescence) And Alan Cumming is absolutely adorable and so fun to watch in it; the way he becomes her closest friend and supports her in coming out after she rejected him was so fucking refreshing. He just cares about her as a person and wants to be there for her. Also, Kissing Jessica Stein and Gray Matters were the first wlw movies I ever bought while still in the closet, so I can't help but have a soft spot for them. Please do a part 2. The Incredibly True Adventure of 2 Girls In Love was actually the third wlw movie I ever bought (and had to hide, because of the title) and is honestly probably one of my favorites. I can't deny the problematic point of that woman who is clearly a groomer, but everything else in that movie just feels so sweet. The bashful way they fall in love, sharing the qualities that position them as polar opposites. Easily the best and luckiest purchase I ever made. It's out of print on DVD and I just happened to stumble on it at work.

@@fourthpanda I don't see it like that, I think the movie went consistently in the direction of Jessica learning to let go of her narrow worldviews and opening herself up. The ending feels refreshing to me because some people come into your life to show you something, not necessarily to marry you.

[@fourthpanda]

@@AliceP. She never opened up the whole movie though? If she had she would have acknowledged how shitty she had been the last 6 months. But she never does. The movie just ends.

[@AliceP.]

@@fourthpanda I don't see a correlation between these two things. She starts the movie extremely uptight and makes her way to that more relaxed, free-spirited woman we see at the very end, and that's because she opened herself up to other possibilities in life beyond her thinking. As for acknowledging how she hurt people along the way, I suppose that she could have, but that just wasn't the focus of the story.
