Hello Out readers!

With the Golden Globe nominees announced this week, some of our favorite queer movies and shows are getting some much deserved recognition (while others were snubbed)! In honor of the nominations, we're going to take a look at Out.com's 10 best queer movies of the year. I'll only reveal a few of the movies on the list here, so if you want to find out who was number one, you'll have to read the whole list!

9. Queer - Luca Guadagnino. Queer stars the inimitable Daniel Craig as a boozy and horny washed up American expat living in Mexico City in 1950. When he meets a younger man (Drew Starkey), the two begin a passionate affair and discover new truths about each other.

7. Problemista - Julio Torres. Julio Torres' feature film directorial debut is a masterful new take on the American Dream, making it relevant to queer immigrants in 2024. We already knew Torres was one of the most talented writers and comedians in Hollywood, now we know he's one of the most talented filmmakers as well.

5. Will & Harper - Josh Greenbaum. The best documentary of the year is this touching tribute to friendship and America starring longtime close friends and comedy colleagues Will Ferrell and Harper Steele. Shortly after Harper came out to Will, Will suggested the two go on a cross country road trip together – something Harper had loved to do solo before transitioning – so they can get reacquainted with each other and so Harper can get reacquainted with the country.

3.I Saw the TV Glow - Jane Schoenbrun. Trans writer/director Jane Schoenbrun's haunting exploration of nostalgia, memory, being closeted, and dissociation takes the form of a horror movie about two friends (Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine) who realize that their favorite childhood TV show holds some dark secrets about their reality.
