In this first major critical survey of LGBTQIA+ films, over film experts including critics, writers and programmers such as Joanna Hogg, Mark Cousins, Peter Strickland, Richard Dyer, Nick James and Laura Mulvey, as well as past and present BFI Flare programmers, have voted the Superior 30 LGBTQIA+ Films of All Time.

10 Best Fictional Queer Bars in Film

What are the leading fictional gay bars featured in films?

Until very recently homosexuality was the butt of every joke in Hollywood movies, and so it&#;s hard to identify films where queers aren&#;t depicted as one-dimensional, perverted or tormented individuals.

So, I rolled my sleeves up and fired up my VCR (ok, I streamed films on the internet but it doesn&#;t sound as cool) to come across the best, most glorious, fictional lgbtq+, lesbian, and homosexual bars depicted in the movies.

Walking down Talstrasse – Hamburg’s unofficial “gay street” in Saint Pauli – passing the gay sex kino and the cozy Berlin-style bar 3 Zimmer Wohnung, there was suddenly a small oasis of grassy in the form of Paulinenplatz. It was noticeably quieter, and as I turned down Brigttenstraße looking for my next venue, I spotted the familiar “Kino” sign in neon orange. But unlike the kino signs lining the Reeperbahn and its straight streets, this wasn’t a sex kino.

There was a courtyard and colorful graffiti lining the walls. And a small, unassuming entrance to the B-Movie theater with a handful of hipsters spilling outside. Girls wearing knit tops and a skinny guy in a beanie and cardigan. Grabbing my ticket from the bar (and a Club Mate for a cool 2€, the cheapest I found in Hamburg), I found a seat in the back of the small theater. The room couldn’t possibly accommodate more than 60 people and half-f
