At this point, I think we have to take what we can get.
I've felt underwhelmed by a lot of gay and lesbian movies that came out in the 80's and 90's, but I can totally understand why, for LGBT people who are older than me in particular, those movies were really powerful. (And honestly, I don't think LGBT films have improved that much as a whole since then. I saw some really bad movies back when Logo still showed gay media.)
There's a dearth of transgender-themed movies, in particular. And Boys Don't Cry, being based on a true story, was important I think.
