Although this list is primarily from a woman's point of view in general and a lesbian's point of view in particular, relevant observations from all likes of life ARE considered, as hardly any theme in film has such diversity of opinions. On a more personal note, I feel it's a real shame that on most sites lesbian films are "buried" between the much greater number of male gay films, as they apparently do not recognize the REAL socio-cultural and religious distinctiveness between the two, possibly because of a false sentiment of "political correctness". This is one of the reasons I made this site.
