Hugest rec ever!

[kate]

Pitch Perfect. Seriously.

I haven't seen Bridesmaids yet, but I've been recced it so highly; I keep meaning to check it out because it's been recced by people I trust. All the reasons that people are reccing that? They're the reasons I'm reccing this. (Great friendships between women, the romance is not sappy and not front and center, speaking of front and center, a collection of truly wonderful supporting lady characters, and then, THERE'S MUSIC. AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING MUSIC.)

I bought it in my hotel room last night (I get a free movie as a perk, no worries), and not only did I watch it all the way through gleefully, I immediately recced it to meghanc, rewound it to the beginning and watched it again with her.

So amazing. I was up until 5am last night (writing pinch hits, too, not just the movie, though that made it awesome) and I don't mind at all. SO. GOOD.

There are a few requests for that in Yuletide - and yeah! That shower scene, how awesome is that?! I have to say, while on the whole it's sex positive and and there's some great fat acceptance stuff, the queer side of it is a little bit... well, quiet, is one word that comes to mind. But hey, that's one of those things fandom does REALLY well, so. Fic it is!

I was just really hoping this would be a high-cost movie with a lesbian love story - but I realized if that was to happen I probably would have heard about it online or in the news. /o\

Fandom helps cure all the ills of canon. ;D

So true! Fandom is the best!

Also - Imagine Me & You. I haven't seen it, but I'm pretty sure it's a F/F ending, and happy? Also, major budget motion picture. :)

There are others that are art films, but still fairly high production values.

Yup! I've seen that one - my favorite movie I've seen so far is Saving Face. <333

Oh, and I don't know that one! I remember really loving High Art at the time, but it's kinda fuzzy now. There's a really awesome one with Jennifer Tilly and Gina... Gina... um. Dammit. *looks it up* Gina Gershon. The movie is Bound. The most explicit lesbian sex scene I've ever seen in a (non-porn) movie.

[pistolera]

Yes! I remember that one! (Well, I did after I googled it because apparently my memory is failing me)

Saving Face is a great movie for me because I understand her family- they feel like MY family. I know one of my friends felt rather meh about the movie and didn't understand her motivations at times - but she still enjoyed it despite that.

LONG LIVE LESBIAN LOVE STORIES! \o/
