Clueless
or Bring it on. Hmm. I'm conflicted now. :D |
Top Gun

I like KenCT's choices.
But I have seen quite a few good gay films-let me do my research Parting Glances is one of the top of my head. Priscilla Queen Of the Desert. The Original(french)La Cage Aux Folles. The Naked Civil Servant. While not"gay"my top two Fave films do have a "bent"sensability-Cinema Paradiso and Strictly Ballroom |
"Two Seconds," about a bike racer (with a dash of lesbian love) in Montreal. Boy movies get repetitive, since they all seem to have the same plot.

Oh yes, "Parting Glances!"

(also w/ great music from Delibe's "Lakme" and a bit of Beethoven) And - just because it was the first movie with a gay theme I ever saw and it pushed me to come out to myself (down in CCS at that - I watched it 5 times and each time in a different theater to make sure I wouldn't be 'recognized' - usually half the audience walked out making gagging sounds halfway through) - "Making Love". And no, it's not that good but at the time - it was what there was - so it has a place in my heart - and so will Harry Hamlin. Also - "The Wedding Banquet". Alec |
Toss up between HBO Angels In America and Brokeback Mountain.
|
I loved "Trick" in cutesy sort of way. It's a simple, sweet, funny film, nothing too challenging.
|
1st gay movie I saw... "Beautiful Thing". Great soundtrack, too!
|
"Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" for sheer camp fun
"Beautiful Thing" as the tenderest coming-out story. "Shortbus" for a different take on the whole queer thing. |
Latter Days
|
"Jeffrey" was great.. where else can I see a gay Patrick Stewart??
|
I agree with several above. Also enjoyed My Beautiful Launderette. Perhaps because it came out around the same time I did. A former college roommate and I were coincidentally coming out at about the same time as well - had both been closeted as roommates. Both in grad school and we saw it while I was visiting him at MIT. Some 20+ years later and still good memories. Except for making me feel really old all of a sudden....
|
I have had the chance to see many a gay movie over the years... especially when I was on the Board of the Rochester Gay and Lebian Film Festival.... :)
Two of my favorites... which have been on Logo again the past few months were mentioned above... "Trick" and "Beautiful Thing". |
Does Fried Green Tomatoes count? If not, prob The Opposite of Sex. :D
