Favorite Gay Themed Movie?

Mine is Get Real, an awesome indie film, I know it dosn't have a whole lot of depth but a cute comming of age movie anyway. The female friend is an excellent character she made me laugh myself stupid more than once. Particularly the fainting scene, that was too much and most of us can relate to having a friend like that.

Close runner-up is Trick (my bf's favorite, bleh on him) haha yeah I know that's lame and it has no real plot but Tori Spelling singing? Too funny! I love it when she yells "I'm not moving to New Jersey, I'm not a dyke, and where's the cheese on these fucking fries?!" good stuff :P

Honorable Mention: It's My Party - Margaret Cho, real issues, drama, comedy, life lessons, it's worth seeing.

The worst in my opinion? I didn't like Broken Hearts Club or hmm whats that one with David Alexander naked? That one was too much for me too.

Long Time Companion... the end makes me cry everytime.

Well I haven't seen much of it but what I did see of it was good.

"Hedwing and the Angry Inch."

Type O Negative covered a song from it ^_^
Transexual who didn't have a good surgen opens a boy up to his sexuality.

gah! I love Hedwig. That'd have to be my fave.

Might I also add Interview with a Vampire.

mmmmm, I always get pissed when Brad doesn't lay those lovely lips all over Antonio in the sceen where Louis leaves Armand to travel.

Since I'm a big fan of Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, I'd have to say The Birdcage. Funny as hell movie!

Interview wasn't really gay themed, but DAMN, so the subtle undercurrents get your blood boiling! YuM!

not really gay themed - more trans - but i love paris is burning, and the ending always makes me cry. and i love the original la cage aux folles, even with subtitles.

Im with Basschick on the Bird Cage both the original French version and the Robin Williams / Nathan Lane remake :)

Although actually one of my all time favorite gay movies is 'Beautiful Thing' set in suburban Birmingham (England).

If you wanna buy a good coming of age movie check it out :)

I hate that movie. I lived it in reality. So it hit me hard to the core. It does have real issues! VERY Real issues. If anyone does see it you'll know.

That would be... Stephen Caffrey

"Well, for starters, you could put out the do not disturb sign" ...Desert Hearts ... and then Fried Green Tomatoes, and Torch Song Trilogy.

Ya beat me to it... I was just posting that too!

That is one of my all time favorites... I quoted that movie with friends for years. I still do even though most people don't get it when i say in a deep voice.. "Bitch."

i didn't mention torch song trilogy 'cause i figured it was more trans than gay. i not only love the movie for its own merits, but the beginning is shot at the old la cage aux folles in l.a. - my number one hangout of all time. how i miss it! roz and gypsy are in the movie - how i miss seeing them at la cage every week.

Speaking of trans - how many of you have caught the "Soldier's Girl" yet? ... it's a rough one emotionally... but worth seeing.

Sorry about bringing that up GA :( I couldn't begin to imagine what that would feel like.

Well now I have a new list of movies to rent or buy, thats definately good. I feel bad that I haven't seen most of them. I wanted to watch Soldier's Girl but it looks depressing and I stopped having cable right when it was about to premier.

Yes it is tough on the emotions but definitely a good movie!

Oh, just thought of another top notch flik - Boys on the Side. Better Than Chocolate was good too - had some pretty funny scenes. And another that wasn't specifically "gay" but was still excellent: Set It Off, with Jada Pinkett, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox and Kimberly Elise.

Gladiator.

I know that there's only one small character who actually identifies as gay, but really, we've got a movie filled with all sorts of big, muscular, gorgeous, hot, sweaty men all covered in dirt and each other's blood, wearing practically nothing, all living, writhing and beating the shit out of each other, rubbing up against each other and showing off their incredible bodies every few mintues.

And the only female Character dies in the first 15 minutes.


I AM SO THERE.

============================

But If I had to choose an actual "gay" movie, I'd probably say "Jeffrey" or "Get Real"

Yea, Entertainment Tonite ran a review on that and said it's probably the most amount of money ever spent on a gay porn flik ...

ok...instead of just quoting everybody here goes:

GA...I'm with you on "It's My Party"...While I think it's an incredible film, and I wish they would show it in schools because I think everyone should see it once...I can't watch it. It was hard enough getting through it the first time.

on "Interview With The Vampire" ...not gay themed? Good Lord, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Antonio Banderas and Christian Slater sucking on each other in New Orleans, Paris and San Francisco wearing period costuming...I really don't think it gets any more gay than that.

Loved "Jeffrey"

Damn...I'm supposed to pick a fav here eh? hhmmmm......

I really think I'm gonna go with "Boys on the Side" for that one...I fuckin loved that movie.

For comedy – Bridcage
For a deeply disturbing emotional movie – Boys Don’t Cry
And, strange but good movie was – Monsters (I think that was the name)
About an old gay moive writer...bla, bla, bla...lol

That's Gods and Monsters.

It rocked. And I think Ian McKellan won the oscar for that. Which makes it Three oscar winners in the X-men moives.

how fucked up is that.

Ok.. now who would you like to SEE ina gay movie?

And yes, I'm gonna say Kerry King.

Yes, thanx for that...it's been so long since I saw it, I couldn't remember the name.

Well i have to say that it's "priscilla queen of the desert"
yeah i know... typical gay guy lol
I just have a strong feeling about it because it's the movie that made me come out :) plus i was in the army when i watched it so it doubles my feeling. :)
