☆ ptw picks: feature films 🌷
picks from my plan to watch list sorted alphabetically so i don't lose my freaking mind. more ptw feature films can be found on my gay and lesbian lists.
► some titles link to kanopy and/or hoopla, which are free streaming services with no ads accessible through participating public libraries and universities. they have titles that can't be found elsewhere but there's a limit to "borrowing" (i've seen 4 titles per month for each service but ymmv). these are meant to be a last resort because technically it's only free for the end user - the library is the one being charged. (film quarterly article about this) ◄
also see ~ ❤ my top picks: feature films | ☆ ptw: short films | more of my custom lists
pee.ess. i add personal notes to my lists because i use them for my own reference and it's unlikely that anyone else is reading. if you are here and you are not me, then i hope you can overlook this clutter if it's of no use to you. oh, and some names may be flipped if i've pasted them from another site. (first, family vs. family, first)
