Queersighted is an ongoing series from The Criterion Channel which takes a look at film history through a distinctly queer lens. Series programmer Michael Koresky explains, "Queer cinema is not a genre. But there is a thread of queerness that runs through all of film history. I always find it really interesting to talk about film history in this way. There's just this coded, surreptitious language that queer viewers are very attuned to. Queersighted gives us a chance to look through film history and find these hidden messages."

Currently, eight installments of Queersighted have been released. This list includes every film discussed as queer with the title, director's name, and year of release displayed.

Queersighted #1: The Ache of Desire (1-8)
Queersighted #2: Turn the Gaze Around (9-19)
Queersighted #3: Queer Fear (20-30)
Queersighted #4: Breaking Taboos (31-41)
Queersighted #5: Class Acts (42-52)
Queersighted #6: Stage to Screen (53-60)
