The Children's Hour (1961) AudHep (Audrey Hepburn) & Shirley MacLaine. Taken from Lillian Hellman's stage play I believe.
You may find that stage plays usually preceded movies in broaching daring topics.
BTW, I sorta disagree that in the '30s there were no more than hints. Have you explored pre-code films? Have you explored 1920s avante-garde cinema?

WHAT?
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

I thought lesbians were invented in the 1990s. Turns about bitches have been munching carpet for almost a century. I love learning new things even at 91 years of age.

She's hot as ****. You must be ****ing blind.

I thought "The Killing of Sister George" was offbeat and interesting.
I haven't seen "The Fox". I cannot picture Sandy Dennis being sexual in any way, though she was a very good actress.

Gone

The floodgates opened as soon as the rating system went into effect.
The Fox
(1967) had some bold nude scenes in it for a film of that time period along with a lengthy maturation scene
There were many sexploitation films made in the 60s that often included lesbian scenes
Way too many to list…here are some examples -
Are you okay?

And why ask us instead of trying Google?

Yeah, I think I am in the mood for something like "Desert Hearts". It looks interesting.
"My life is over. I might as well dance with Johnny Slash!"

Oh, you haven't seen it. You must! Its on here to watch.
Lindley is terrific! The entire cast is.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

I should watch "Desert Hearts". Audra Lindley is in it. I love her. Mrs. Roper was my favorite character on "Three's Company'.
"My life is over. I might as well dance with Johnny Slash!"

I love
Desert Hearts
. One of my favorite Lez themed films and excellent performances.
I haven't seen
Personal Best
for yonks. I was surprised when I first saw it how ballsy it was. I didn't even know it was about Lesbians and I only went because there wasn't much else on to see and that it was R16 and I wasn't old enough….
PB also had the best of both worlds with nudity and wasn't afraid to offend.
I've always been fond of
The Killing Of Sister George - 68'
. A bit of trimming and the film could have been better for it too.
I didn't like
High Art
. I saw it at a film festival when first released.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

"Personal Best" is the best movie with a lesbian relationship I have ever seen. There is nudity and some sex in it.
I haven't seen it, but "High Art" is supposed to pretty good. Ally Sheedy got a couple major critics awards for her performance.
"Desert Heart" is another one that got some really good reviews.
Two of them were made in the 80s and "High Art" was made in 1998. Hopefully that would not be a deterrent for you. And I think they are available for viewing here.
Edit: Now that I think about it, "Daughters of Darkness" is probably my favorite movie with two main lesbian characters. But it's an elegant horror film and might not be what you are looking for. Also, the film was made in 1971. But I think it's a fantastic movie.

I saw your post, but I couldn't think of any at the time, and forgot about it. I must admit I only look at the first page, but I think the mods automatically move them but your post also shows up in the GD (General Discussion) so everyone can see it. This category basically has everything so you're not doing anything wrong, but maybe they, like me, couldn't think of any.
I never saw "Je Tu Il Elle", but I did see "Blue Is The Warmest Color" and I thought it was alright, but I kinda know what you mean. There's a lot of big boobs and nothing but female nudity, but the story is very basic, so it's a possibility I liked it more than it was worth because I was TITillated, lol.. I give newer movies a handicap, because most movies in the last 40 years suck, even though I go into it thinking it will be good. But I think a lot of people like this movie, but it's only because they're scared of older movies for some reason. I have a cousin who is much younger than me who will ask, "How can people listen to newer music" and I replied with something like, "The same reason you refuse to watch older movies".
If you want an American movie, I wouldn't bother with anything pre-1967 (Hays Code) but European (and even Japanese) movies always had more freedom, and they aren't scared of nudity and their own bodies like us Americans.
I just thought of this Japanese movie, but it wasn't good (and would take me a long time to find anyway).

Maybe you have stumped the few that are here.
I would help if I could but I just dunno of any lesbian make out movies!

Did someone just say something?

There's been speculation that you are a child molestor.

You gotta be part of the Filmboards in crowd, or you don’t even exist. Heck, I’ve been on this board since early this year and I doubt there’s one person on this board that wouldn’t say “Who?” if my screen name was mentioned. I just don’t say anything interesting or inflammatory enough to get noticed.

I hope this is ok but it's been 24 hours or am I posting in the wrong category or something? I saw that it was moved. I'm just wondering why no one ever replies to my threads and its not like I post many.
