Top 50 Sapphic Films

This is my list of the top 50 WLW/Sapphic/Lesbian films (not TV) of all time as per the ratings on this site. If the film has an equal number of stars the chosen order within that is based on my personal preferences. Sometimes I’ve mixed it up a bit and some with lower stars have higher rankings.

This list is VERY likely to change as new films emerge and are reviewed. Missing links mean that the review is in progress and will be here soon. Here goes! (Country/Language is indicated)
