75% of these films are in the English language.
62% are American produced!
At least 33% should not have been included.
All films made before the 60s are fairly predictable due to the simple fact that [LGBT-themed] production was very low...but, if you seek hard enough there are quite a few gems to be found!
The years: 1960, 62, 63, 73, 76, 77, 79, 81, 82, 87, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2012, 2021 - have been ignored - one staggering omission is Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho [1960]. There are many other bamboozling omissions.
Rather than it being just a subjective list [which it is], it panders to that pseudo-intellectual establishment of Queer cinematic thought - a collective who have lauded mighty praise on many a terrible film. This book/list had the opportunity to update that dated and tired narrative - but, by being a book, its own narrative becomes instantly out-dated on publication.
And...why is Cronenberg's The Fly [1986] included? Inventive subtext?!? Or, creative misjudgment!
