I was just browsing through the film section on http://www.prowlerdirect.co.uk and was thinking that i hadnt really seen any good movies about the gay lifestyle recently.
What movies would you recommend that are US based that i should see?
If you are looking for a UK based movie i would highly suggest Beautiful Life and also, if you can get it over here, the Bad Girls tv series :)
So tell me what movies we should be going to rent next weekend :)

Lee
ahhh...talk about Ghetto mentallity...
In my life I have NEVER seen _anybody_ asking for...heterosexual movie
;-)))
If you are looking for a great movie, about 2 men,
and I quote Ebert
http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/...305160304/1023
you'll never see anything like it fromQuote:
It is so rare to find a film that is about male friendship, uncomplicated by sex, romance or any of the other engines that drive a plot.
"Made in Hollywood"

Haha what does that tell you Serge ;)Quote:

Oh gee ... isn't this board called GAY Wide Webmasters?
And you've seen anybody asking for a heterosexual movie because just about every movie made on this planet is a heterosexual movie.
Four posts and you've managed to say something incredibly stupid. And you even spelled it incorrectly. Yikes.
I always liked Maurice and Another Country. Two oldies, but goodies. And Tales from the City is great, if you haven't seen it.

and what is exactly WIDE means?Quote:

Intelelct? Ass size? I am confused with this one,
and YOUR explanation is VERY welcomed.
As for "heterosexual movies" on this planet....I live a very sheltered life, I _never_ seen movie reviewers divide movies into
"gay" or "heterosexual" categories, and I thank you 100 times in advance for the link where movie critics do so.
As for spelling, This is GAY Wide Webmasters board,
not GAY Wide Spelling Bee Webmaster Board, or am I mistaken about it too?
I do not spell well,
but I use QUOTE feature, which is much more useful on the baords than spelling
;-)))
...and I bet you the autographed pic of my dick that you have no problems reading this:

'A Beautiful Thing' and 'Get Real' are my favorite coming of age type movies.
Three of my most recent favorites is 'Latter Days' and 'Unconditional Love' and 'the Dreamers'. Other favorites are - 'The adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert', 'The Laramie Project' was a tear jerker, 'the Trip' and 'Rites of Passage'.
If you're looking for a real screwed up movie - pick up 'The Hanging Garden' or 'Lilies'. I love my netflix account :)

Good question. I haven't seen anything recent that I was totally in luv with. Here's a few older ones that I've enjoyed: Big Eden, Trick, To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar, The Birdcage, La Cage Aux Folles 1 & 2, Love! Valour! Compassion!.
Sordid Lives. If you haven't seen it you MUST see this movie. It's such a good story and it hits home, great cast too.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...s=dvd&n=507846
Mambo Italiano is great too
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...214352-5270233
I wish I didnt cancel my netflix membership :/
yeah, Mambo Italiano is a one funny flickQuote:

I always loved that. Its nice to see you here : )
I personally know only 2 Marc's:
my broker and Marc De Forest...
which one is you?

Strange how there are almost no American-made gay films ever made.
Party Monster is gay I guess, so that's probably the biggest US one. Most people don't like it or Culkin, but he's one of my fav actors.
Beautiful Thing is decent overall, but there is a serious lack of story there.
Lee,
May I suggest ANYTHING Bette Davis especially Now Voyager. I've seen it a million times and never get tired of watching Bette change from a scary spinster to a a thing of beauty.
If you're not crying at the end turn in your gay card!!!!!!!!
Hugs,

Hmmmmmmm gay movies well how about
Suddenly Last Summer (haha)
or one movie that seemed to freighten me more and more as I watched it before, during and after my last relationship - Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?
Dzinerbear - funny you mention Maurice. That movie will always have a special place in my heart. I saw that in the U.T. campus theater when I was 18 (it was first-run then). I pretty much walked out of the auditorium deciding how I was going to come out of the closet. I guess E.M. Forester will rest in peace better knowing that his autobiographical missive somehow positively effected a guy like him many years later.

The indie theatre in my town is playing 3 gay flicks this past week for their gay film festival.
We went to see - 'Eating Out'. If you have the chance to see this movie, I suggest ducking into one of the other theatres. It was a horrible movie with it's only saving grace being the generous full frontal nudity of the two leads. The film was laced with needless metaphores that would even make Harlan cringe.
sorry, double post :)
What a joy it is too have so many GOOD non-porn gay movies available these days. "Maurice", as Dzinerbear and Desslock mentioned, is a favorite gay-male movie (British, not U.S.) for me. "Desert Hearts" is probably my favorite lesbian movie.
do these count?
to wong foo, pricilla queen of the desert, torch song trilogy (well, the first two parts), paris is burning (okay, it's a documentary, but i love it a LOT), le cage 1 and 2.
!!!WARNING WARNING ====MAJOR SPOILER ALERT=======WARNING WARNING!!!
I thought Mambo Italiano was depressing. Watching that guy marry that ugly tramp, not because he even liked her, but because he was too scared of getting rejected by his mother.
I know a bunch of Italian and Greek guys like that.
But ok.. let's see.. Jeffrey... loved that one.
I loved Lillies, and I really liked Get Real, although I want to see a sequel where the dumb jock rights his wrongs...
and I loved Apartment Zero.
And maybe The Laramie Project, although that movie always reduces me to a little puddle on the ground.
------------------
And I'd like to note, Serge, that the reason nobody mentions heterosexual movies is the same reason that nobody calls moives "White", "Christian" or "About people without disabilities". 99% of them are about straight white christian people wihtout disabilities. It's taken as a given until stated otherwise. That and straight people forget a little too often that we're actually here on the same planet.
