10. The Real O’Neals
A breezy reworking of the family sitcom, The Real O’Neals brings us a family that’s far from picture-perfect. When the teen son comes out, the layers of family quirks, flaws, and unexpected strengths are revealed with tons of humor and heart. Light, amusing, and reminding us that love makes family, no matter what.
9. Love, Victor
Based on the same universe as Love, Simon, this sweet coming-of-age show tracks Victor through high school, family pressures, and his path to self-acceptance. It’s warm, delightful, and realistic, with only a little drama to keep you invested.
8. Fire Island
A witty, contemporary take on Pride and Prejudice, Fire Island combines friendship, love, and snappy humor, all against the backdrop of one unforgettable summer vacation. It’s quick, spirited, and full of queer happiness.
7. Crush
This light-hearted teen rom-com is all about pursuing love and self-discovery—sometimes in the unlikeliest of spots. With cute chemistry and true laughs, it’s a make-you-feel-good watch that never gets too heavy.

A slyly funny coming-of-age comedy that’s as clever as it is laugh-out-loud funny, Booksmart toasts female friendship, first love, and rule-breaking before graduation. Its queer narrative is approached with warmth and authenticity.

A seminal documentary capturing the beauty, determination, and joy of New York City’s ballroom world. It’s as inspiring as it is educational, and its pop culture impact is undeniable.
1. Portrait of a Lady on Fire
A stunning 18th-century French-set romance, this is a slow-burning masterpiece of longing, connection, and art. Each frame is a painting, and each glance speaks volumes. It’s not a movie—it’s an experience.
