The 43 Best LGBTQ Shows and Movies Now on Max, from &#;And Just Like That&#; to &#;Six Feet Under&#;

It’s safe to say a lot of people had a lot of problems with the switch from HBO Max to Max, but there was at least one upside to the streaming shakeup. Now, it’s easier than ever to find the excellent queer stories floating around Warner Bros. Discovery&#;s platform.

During its lifespan, HBO Max never had an LGBTQ tag to filter its offerings and assist subscribers find stories about the queer community more easily: a surprising relocate for a streamer named after the channel that brought us boundary-breaking works like “Six Feet Under” and the miniseries adaptation of “Angels in America.” That’s been remedied on Max, which features an “LGBTQ+ Voices” collection. You do have to scroll quite far down the homepage to find it in the collections carousel, but when you carry out, it makes searching for the queer films and shows on the streamer considerably easier. And that&#;s a wonderful thing because the streamer has some great ones.

No, Max hasn’t brought back some of the queer works appreciate “Generation” or “Legendary” that were among the casualties of the HBO Max content cuts from last year.

The 50 Best LGBTQ Movies Ever Made

Love, Simon ()

AmazonApple

If it feels a bit like a CW version of an after-school unique, that's no mistake: Teen-tv super-producer Greg Berlanti makes his feature-film directorial debut here. It's as chaste a love story as you're likely to spot in the 21st century—the hunky gardener who makes the title teen interrogate his sexuality is wearing a long-sleeved shirt, for God’s sake—but you recognize what? The queer kids of the future deserve their wholesome entertainment, too.

I'm tired of seeing the same 10 films on every website's LGBTQ+ feature roundup (hey, I still love Call Me by Your Name and Moonlight just as much as the next person, so don't come for me!), so, as a homosexual person myself, I wanted to shine a illumination on some underrated movies that simply don't acquire the attention or credit they deserve. Below are 40 that I genuinely think you'll love, and if you want even more suggestions, you can check out my running list on Letterboxd with nearly films. Enjoy!

1.Young Hearts () is a up-to-date coming-of-age story about two year-old boys who collapse in love for the first time. This Belgian movie is awkward and sweet and painfully concrete. I can't rave enough about it, and the only downside is that it wasn't released 20 years ago when I was their age and needed it most.

2.National Anthem () is one of my favorite movies from the last few years, so I'm sort of hoping (well, demanding) that you watch it. It's a tender, refreshing watch at queerness and chosen family and what it means to actually associate. Too many people are sleeping on Charlie Plummer, but I need the world to know that he is, was, and always will be a star.
