BFI Flare: Reveals Its Top 30 LGBT Films of All Time...
Over 100 programmers, critics and filmmakers voted for the 30 greatest LGBT films of all time.
Here are their results...there are some mightily questionable entries?!? With 7 films tying for last place...it's a bit of a joke. Let us not take it too seriously...
Compare it with Box Office Mojo to see how far-removed these 'voters' actually are!
A little out-of-touch babies!
