Alex Strangelove
This rom-com starts out with a time-honored high school movie trope: the high school senior making plans to lose his virginity to his girlfriend before graduation. When he finds himself with an unexpected crush on a handsome, out gay guy, though, he has some self-discovery to do.

Chasing Amy
It’s definitely not your typical rom-com: the leads identify as a straight man and a lesbian as they explore what their relationship actually means. Instead, it’s a more complicated and tangled – though still funny – look at two people who are somehow totally compatible and also not compatible at all.
