    To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar (empowering tale of drag queens taking a cross-country trip)

    Bound (hot mafia thriller with Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon rowr!)

    The Opposite of Sex (chances are you haven't heard of it, but it's both funny and amazing)

    I don't have any others with overt homosexuality, but I will probably choose from:

    Fried Green Tomatoes
    Little Miss Sunshine
    Barbarella

    Have you got any fave (gay or not) super empowering movies?

    I don't know if they were recently added or they changed their algorithm for what I see, but I've discovered a lot more lesbian focused movies in the last few months on Netflix. You could easily spend all day binge watching them.

    You might enjoy Cloudburst (IMDB link here) - A lesbian couple escape from their nursing home and head up to Canada to get married.

    Cute indy movie, nice to see a story with lead romantic non-str8 characters who are past 30... we don't see that often enough.

    Might be available on Netflix in the US.
