Sexploitation from the late '60s. A young woman arrives in New York, moves in with a couple of lesbians, who look at her "soft downy sex" through a peephole. She loses her virginity to a guy, runs around naked in Central Park, has sex with her roommates, and does other "hippie" things to a cheesy voiceover narrative with great lines like "they ogled her firm young breasts" and "once a young girl has been loved by a lesbian, it's difficult to feel satisfaction from a man again." But hey, by the end, the lesbians get married and have an orgy!

A spurned woman swallows some special pills that change her into a man. She tries to continue to be a woman, but ends up acting in a manly fashion. Some of the earliest Lesbian images are included in this film. The main character, and her maid, also dress in men's clothing. The Boulder Gay and Lesbian Film Festival site, which indicates that this film was shown at their 1999 festival, says: Please note that while "A Florida Enchantment" offers some complexity about sex roles, it does not project much thoughtfulness about ethnicity. Like many films of the period, the film is often disturbingly racist." Buy from TLA Video Edith Storey 63 min. Classic

Narrated by Emmy award-wining actress Sharon Gless, the documentary offers millions of fans the opportunity to relive the drama of Ayn Rand's life and fiction: from her early childhood and escape from Soviet Russia to her struggle and triumph as an American writer whose book sales exceed 300,000 annually after five decades in print. Drawing from personal papers and public archives across two continents, the film combines fact, literary fiction and an intimate weave of interviews with intellectual heir Leonard Peikoff, television journalist Mike Wallace, as well as rare photos, film footage and an original film-noir scene from her 1934 play, "Ideal". The material captures Rand's life-long themes of reason, rational selfishness and political freedom. "Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life", sweeping from pre-Revolutionary Russia to contemporary America, tells the story of a "ferocious angel," a woman, and thinker who continues to incite the curiosity and passion of millions.

1998
Girls just wanna have fun! And we see it here in all its kinkiness as two hip, Betty Page retro fashion beauties play out teasing, playful and seductive sex games. A pretty blond – one who claims not to be ticklish – is tied up by her red satin lingerie-wearing pal and is subjected to the “torture” of tickling, bondage and gentle slapping. Low budget, but erotically charged, we enter a world of slinky underwear, rubber, role-playing and garter belt fetishism. There is some nudity, but the fun is in the games not in the bare flesh.

Unabashed exploitative, this women-in-prison pot-boiler gloriously wallows in the genre's ruling principles: casting couch beauties locked in a hellish prison ruled by a sadistic warden and filled with gratuitous shower scenes, knockdown catfights, cheesy depictions of lesbianism and a riotous breakout. Framed by a corrupt system, big-haired Kate and Sharon must endure all the horrors of prison (no hairdryers!), while the audience must endure the terrible dialogue: "We're innocent, we didn't do it!"

From gay director Schlesinger comes this viciously funny tale of British eccentricity. The story, which begins as a familiarly dry Masterpiece Theatre-style British upper-class drama, soon explodes into broad satire. Set in the 1930s, the film follows perky Flora (Kate Beckinsale) and her adventures with her decidedly Middle Ages rural cousins, the doom-laden Starkadders. Adding some queer elements are Ian McKellen as the curmudgeon father, Stephen Fry as alove-torn twit and Joanna Lumley as Flora's comically supercilious aunt.

Dorothy wasn't sure if she even was a lesbian, but the gay bar she was in sure seemed like home! After her dishonourable discharge she went to a less friendly home in Homer, Conn. As news of her sexual deviancy spread around town, the only warm face was that of closeted lesbian Mrs. Nelson (Kidder) who gave her some money and sent her down to Greenwich Village.

A film from the Netherlands about 2 women who are friends. They are not ever called lesbian, but it's by implication. This zany women's buddy film from lesbian director Annette Apon has a "magical realist" quality similar to Jacques Rivette's Celine and Julie Go Boating. Anything can happen; plot, motivation, sense and structure can be abandoned at any moment. Though the relationship between Gino and Nina is not identified as lesbian, their affection for one another is intensely portrayed. And as Nina explains, if you don't see any crocodiles in Amsterdam, "lack of a sighting doesn't mean they don't exist."
