If anyone is in the mood, I could use some help. I'm on the LGBTQ committee for our residential division and one of my tasks is to help put together a list of movies for our film night. The audience will be LGBTQ teens- middle school and high school aged. Right now we're just brainstorming titles and most of what I've come up with so far are R rated- which is okay but I'd like a little variety. Here is what I've come up with so far:
Set it Off
Boys Don't Cry
In & Out
The Birdcage
But I'm a Cheerleader
Camp
Longtime Companion
The Brandon Teena Story
Object of My Affection
Edge of Seventeen
Ma Vie En Rose
Get Real
Different for Girls
Beautiful Thing
The Incredibly True Story of Two Girls in Love
If anyone has other films they've enjoyed and I've left off, please let me know. Thanks!
Some of my fav teen flicks -- but may be too dated and may not be what you're looking for:
Sixteen Candles
The Breakfast Club
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Back to the Future and sequels
Edward Scissorhands
Others that teens might enjoy: Indiana Jones series, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, and Monty Pythons Holy Grail (most silly)
Good messages: To Kill A Mockingbird and Chariots of Fire
