You might be bored to watch the same type of heteronormative love and gender expression you see in so many films. WhatsOn is here today to guide you in this Pride month to change the mood up with the top 5 movies about characters that identify as LGBTQ.
Blue Is the Warmest ColorÂ
The movie ‘Blue Is Warmest Color’ is one of the most famous lesbian movies. If you’ve ever asked a friend for a lesbian film recommendation, the answer was probably Blue Is the Warmest Color. The French film follows Adèle, a teenager who falls in love with an older art-school student named Emma. Just like most woman-loving-woman relationships, the film is quite the saga of ups, downs, heartbreak, and tortured passion.

Memories in March
‘Memories in March’ is a West Bengal Movie. At first ‘Memories in March’ might sound like a depressive movie about grief but the film is much more than that and in the end, one doesn’t feel depressed but rather a sense of hope and enlightenment. Subtle, quiet, and tender, yet very lyrical, ‘Memories of March’ definitely strikes a chord with heartstrings.

Call Me by Your Name
The movie is based on the acclaimed novel of the same name, ‘Call Me by Your Name ‘. It’s a movie that portrays an understated honesty that comes with discovering your sexuality at a young age. The film catapulted Timotheé Chalamet into stardom playing 17-year-old Elio who falls in love with Oliver, a graduate student staying with his family at their Italian villa for the summer. Call Me by Your Name is a heart-wrenching film that reckons with how summer romances can come and go so quickly…
