Showdown: The Celluloid Closet

Current topic: best underseen queer films

This is my list for all the Letterboxd showdowns with the current topic occupying the first ten spots. Not every list is complete here because you can't have the same movie twice on the same list, so some spots are empty in older showdowns.

Here is the key to this list:

#1-10: The Celluloid Closet (best underseen queer films)
#11-20: The Nice Guys (best films about male friendship)
#21-30: Grand Illusion (best classic sci-fi/fantasy films)
#31-37: This Must Be the Place (best films with location titles)
#38-46: The Killing Joke (best dark-comedy films)
#47-55: Monkey Business (best primates in film)
#56-61: The Favourite (best nominees for the Outstanding British Film BAFTA)
#62-65: The NeverEnding…
