Sapphic Media

I'm not an expert on media representation. I also don't know many shows that have diverse representation, unless we're talking about the sapphic stuff. I know about that. But also I don't know everything? So chances are I have missed a lot. 

wlw = women loving women
sapphic = woman who loves women
lesbian = woman who exclusively loves women
bisexual / pansexual / polysexual / queer / asexual / demisexual / greysexual women may be wlw
wlw is not exclusive to sexual attraction, it also included romantic attraction.

Movies

A lot of these might be in foreign languages, so if you're fluent, great, otherwise there will be subtitled versions floating around the net somewhere.
Also, I haven't necessarily watched all of these, so I can't vouch for them (y'know given that 'bury your gays' trope, and 'don't let the gays be happy,' ugh.)

Some of these may contain toxic storylines, and queer character deaths. Maybe do a quick search of like "lgbt death X show" to see, because as of writing this there have been some deaths in this list, but also some shows where its ambiguous as to whether a sapphic character will or won't die.
