With December comes the cold and ample opportunities to sit on the couch and burn through your Netflix queue. But you say you’ve already binge-watched Jessica Jones? And those HGTV shows that would put a coke fiend to sleep? Worry no more! Here are five gay flicks you can stream this month to help you really put a dent in that couch of yours.

1. Tangerine

What’s it about: On Christmas Eve, a transgender prostitute and her best friend search the sun-soaked streets of Hollywood for her cheating boyfriend/pimp.

And It’s Gay?:  Uh yeah! Well, queer, actually. These lines get so easily blurred. The transgender characters are played by actual transgender actresses. No Jared Leto/Dallas Buyers Club-style stunts here. These girls are the real deal and they’re fantastic and funny.

Is It Any Good?: It’s great! I’ve seen it and I think it’s one of the best movies of the year. Not only was the entire film shot on an iPhone, but the constant Santa Monica Boulevard sunset has never looked better. It’s also the rare film that treats sex work and drug use with a total lack of judgment while finding the humor in all the situations the characters find themselves in. From smoking meth (I think it’s meth, my drug knowledge is sorely lacking) to alleyway handjobs, this is a street movie that’s funny and has real heart.

2. Matt Shepard is a Friend of Mine

What’s it about: A documentary on Matthew Shepard, the teen who was murdered for being gay in Laramie, Wyoming, with interviews and insights from the people who knew him.

And It’s Gay?: Well, yes. The film strips away the symbolism of Matthew Shepard, who became the emblem of gay hate crimes, to reveal who he was as a person.

Is It Any Good?: It’s received fawning reviews, and while it doesn’t look like it’s reinventing the documentary wheel in any significant way, it looks like a powerful, heartbreaking film. And when was the last time you had a good cry? Probably not since the scene in Inside Out when Bing-Bong sacrifices himself, right? Dammit.

3. Xenia

What’s it about: After their mother dies, two brothers search the Greek landscape for their biological father.

And It’s Gay?: Judging by the trailer, yes. And it really wants you to know that, too! The gay brother looks like a twink hipster and his older brother is a hunk. There’s another gay character who’s an older mincing stereotype, but that’s not very promising.

Is It Any Good?: Maybe? It looks pretty pedestrian to me. If you live in a rural area where foreign films are hard to come by, this could add some color to your queue. The trailer does point out that this played at the Cannes Film Festival, but take that with a grain of salt – plenty of garbage plays there.

4. Drown

What’s it about: An Australian film set amongst the world of competitive life-saving (which is apparently a thing?), this drama chronicles a wild night out amongst hooligans in the gay scene. There are apparently tragic results.

And It’s Gay?: Yeah, unfortunately. This looks like an American indie movie from the 1990s, but that’s Australia for you. But there are hot guys, half of whom look to be closet cases with violent tendencies, so if that works for you, check this out.

Is it Any Good?: Ehhhh. Did I mention the guys look hot? This looks like a typical tale of how repression leads to destruction, which is totally original, right? Honestly, the “competitive life-saving” backdrop looks more interesting than the gay stuff. How does competitive life-saving work? Do people actually die? This movie is raising a lot of interesting questions, and I haven’t even seen it!

5. Fresh Dressed

What’s it about: A documentary that chronicles the rise of urban fashion and its influence on the mainstream.

And It’s Gay?: Not explicitly. But it is about fashion and style, and if that’s not of gay interest then someone better tell Project Runway. Yes, it’s still a thing.

Is It Any Good?: It’s got decent reviews, and the talking heads look like the actual people involved in the story, like Pharrell Williams and Damon Dash. Kanye’s there too! It looks like a fascinating look at how an underground/street movement influences the mainstream. Like how Madonna stole vogueing from the ball scene. Work it!
