When I was a teenager (early 2010s era) I was so desesperate to find some lesbian representation and visibility, and then I watched a lot of lesbian movies. Here are some movies I watched back then :
TIPPING THE VELVET - Sarah Waters (2002)
The movie that every lesbian was watching at the beginning of our century. Sarah Waters also made FINGERSMITH , which is the movie that inspired "the Handmaiden".
BOUND - The Wachowski sisters (1996)
A wonderful mafia lesbian movie.
SAVING FACE - Alice Wu (2004)
Lesbian and POC representation ! yay !
BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER - Jamie Babbit (1999)
A comedy about conversion therapy. Yes.
THE WATERMELON WOMAN - Cheryl Dunye (1996)
This one was on my watching list, but I didn't found a cracked version back then. It's lesbian & Black representation, that must be awesome to watch.
ROOM IN ROME - Julio Medem (2013)
A movie about a casual lesbian sex story : how a powerful relationship can emerge from one night stands... That was interesting but I think I was too young to fully appreciate this kind of subject.
GIGOLA - Laure Charpentier (2011)
A movie about lesbian sex work in the early 20th century Paris.
CIRCUMSTANCE - Maryam Keshavarz (2011)
Keshavarz also made the recent queer movie "The Persian version". Both are great.
I hope that could help you :)
(and also, hello everybody, this is my first post !)
