The Best LGBTQ+ Films & Songs for Pride UK 2025
Brokeback Mountain to Moonlight, Call Me By Your Name to Beautiful Thing, George Michael to Harry Styles — the queer films and songs that matter, and where to find them
🔍 SEO Keywords — Pride & LGBTQ+ UK
There's something different about watching a queer film and recognising yourself in it for the first time. Whether it's seeing two boys slow-dance in a South London estate to Mama Cass while the whole world watches, or watching Elio press his face into Oliver's jacket at the end of a summer that changed everything — those moments hit differently. They always have.
And the music: George Michael singing "Freedom" like it was a survival strategy. Elton John's "Your Song" existing in a space so pure that genders never mattered. Harry Styles dedicating an album to everyone who doesn't feel safe. These are the artists and the films we come back to every Pride — and every other time we need them.
Below is our guide to the best LGBTQ+ films streaming in the UK right now, plus the music prints that belong on your wall. All the posters are from £3 at 98types in Camden Market, buy 3 get 1 free, same-day dispatch.
🎬 The Essential LGBTQ+ Films
Call Me By Your Name (2017)
Italy, 1983. Six weeks. Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer. Luca Guadagnino doesn't rush anything — the peaches, the bicycle rides, the borrowed shirts, the long silences between two people working out what they mean to each other. The final scene is one of the most emotionally devastating things in recent cinema. Stream it tonight on Prime Video UK.
Buy the Call Me By Your Name Poster →Brokeback Mountain (2005)
Two cowboys who fall in love and spend twenty years being unable to fully live it out. Heath Ledger's Ennis is one of cinema's great performances and one of its saddest — a man who holds everything inside because he's seen what the world does to men like him. The film that changed how Hollywood understood LGBTQ+ stories. Not currently on UK subscription streaming — rent it for £3.49. Worth every penny.
Buy the Brokeback Mountain Poster →Moonlight (2016)
Three chapters. One man figuring out who he is. Barry Jenkins' film follows Chiron from childhood through adolescence to adulthood in Miami — a place where being Black and queer and poor means building walls so thick you almost forget you built them. The first LGBTQ+ film with an all-Black cast to win Best Picture. Essential. On Prime Video UK right now.
Buy the Moonlight Poster →Love, Simon (2018)
The first mainstream Hollywood studio film about a gay teenage love story. Simon comes out and the world doesn't end — which, in 2018, was a radical creative choice. Warm, funny, kind. On Disney+ UK.
Buy the Love, Simon Poster →Beautiful Thing (1996)
A council estate in Thamesmead, South London. Two teenage boys, neighbours, working out something they don't have words for yet. The final scene, dancing to Mama Cass in the courtyard, still makes us cry every single time. The British queer film that got there first, in 1996.
Buy the Beautiful Thing Poster →But I'm a Cheerleader (1999)
A neon-coloured, gloriously camp satire about a cheerleader sent to gay conversion therapy. Skewers conversion therapy with the contempt it deserves while being consistently joyful. Natasha Lyonne before everyone knew her name. A cult classic.
Buy the But I'm a Cheerleader Poster →Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)
One of the greatest rock musicals ever made. John Cameron Mitchell plays Hedwig Robinson — East German, transgender, botched surgery, brilliant, performing in the trailer parks of America. The "Origin of Love" sequence is the most accurate description of queer longing ever put to music.
Buy the Hedwig Poster →Alex Strangelove (2018)
Sweet, warm, kind. Alex has a girlfriend, a plan, a social life — and then meets a boy at a party. The Netflix coming-of-age queer film that deserves more attention than it gets. On Netflix UK right now.
Buy the Alex Strangelove Poster →🎵 The Songs — Pride Music Wall Art
Every queer person has their soundtrack. At 98types, we have George Michael's "Freedom", Elton John's "Your Song" and "Rocket Man", and Harry Styles' Fine Line, Matilda, Sign of the Times and As It Was — all as museum-grade song lyric prints from £3. Buy 3 get 1 free.
George Michael — Freedom '90
Faith, 1990
"All we have to do now / is take these lies and make them true somehow." A queer liberation song before he could say so.
Elton John — Your Song
Elton John, 1970
"How wonderful life is while you're in the world." Written gender-neutral by design. Fifty years later and still the most tender love song in the room.
Elton John — Rocket Man
Honkŷ Château, 1972
"And I think it's gonna be a long, long time." Isolation, distance, the specific loneliness of somewhere nobody else can reach.
Harry Styles — Fine Line
Fine Line, 2019
"We'll be alright." The album dedicated to everyone who doesn't feel safe being who they are.
Harry Styles — Matilda
Harry's House, 2022
"You don't have to be sorry for leaving and growing up." Will ambush you emotionally every single time.
