Default i've seen 85 gay movies...(so far)...

i'm trying to become a sort of connoisseur of queer cinema. here's my take on the movies i've seen so far.

good gay movies:

get real
head on
o fantasma
bear cub
all over the guy
but i'm a cheerleader
bent
lola and billy the kid
for a lost soldier
beautiful thing
priscilla: queen of the desert
fox & his friends
querelle
mambo italiano
grande ecole
you'll get over it
dorian blues
love is the devil
maurice
mysterious skin
velvet goldmine
trick
the trip
skin flick
trash
flesh
the birdcage
ma vie en rose
nico and dani
love! valour! compassion!
midnight in the garden of good and evil
angels in america
bend it like beckham
boys don't cry
monster
happy together
johns
philadelphia
rocky horror picture show
soldier's girl
taxi zum klo
the wedding banquet
rites of passage
saved!
longtime companion
ernesto
y tu mama tambien (debatable whether it should be considered a gay movie)
the rules of attraction (also debatable)

so-so gay movies:

adventures of felix
come undone
yoshi & jagger
l.i.e.
mala educacion
pink narcissus
no skin of my ass
brokeback mountain
speedway junkie
water drops on burning rocks
too wong foo
the broken hearts club
plata quemada
close to leo
hedwig and the angry inch
the object of my affection
the opposite of sex
the turkish bath
green plaid shirt
lillies
the hanging garden
gone, but not forgotten
confusion of genders

just plain bad gay movies:

luster
urbania
shiner
love forbidden
leaving metropolis
mandragora
fluffer
the delta
three dancing slaves
latter days
in & out

good gay documentaries:

the times of harvey milk
common threads
before stonewall

Hi Shannon. I love you.
Yeah you're right. Too Wong Foo is pretty bad...especially when compared with Priscilla: Queen of the Desert...which is almost an exact duplicate movie in terms of plot and general storyline...but so much better.

I've been close to renting Trevor...but I always seem to pick something else at the last minute. I can't remember if i've seen Edge of Seventeen or not...I think it was one of the very first...so it's pretty hazy. The cover of the movie makes me not want to rent it though. Something about being gay in the 80s just turns me off. I'll rent them both though...just cause you liked them enough to recommend them.

Edge of Seventeen isn't one of my favorite movies or anything. I'm not even really recommending it but I was just looking through your list and it was one of the big ones it looks like you haven't seen. Its good enough, but its been a long time since I saw it.

Trevor, on the other hand, is terrific.

As far as your ratings go I guess they are pretty close to what my own would be. You already know how I feel about L.I.E. and I like Hedwig enough to call it really really great but other than that we're really pretty close.

Interesting. I've heard about Quincenera. Having grown up hispanic I went to plenty of quinceneras in my day...I know what it feels like to be an outcast at one of those things. So what's your friend's name? Oh and Todd Haynes is an executive producer...i've heard good things about his films but have yet to see them. Oh and what's your ex's line? If I ever see the movie, i'll look out for that line and just know that he's your ex.

I don't really know what my gripe is with Hedwig. Too me its just too similar in some ways to Velvet Goldmine...and so I get defensive about it...because I love Velvet Goldmine to death. But my friend says that she doesn't see the similarities and that i'm being retarded. Which is probably true.

Oh and concerning L.I.E. I just think the reason I don't like it that much is because...how do I explain this...it gives off a midwestern/northeastern vibe to me and being from the south I don't really relate to that sort of vibe. If that makes any sense at all.

I can't remember my ex's line - if I remember correctly, it's near a taco stand or something. Vague memory of his part, actually. I'm bad. However, Jesse Garcia (one of the main stars) later became my ex's roommate and we had a bbq with Wash - they all live in Echo Park. Wash is a really fun guy and can't wait to see what he does next.

As for Todd, he kicks ass. Check out Far From Heaven. Awesome.

The movie connects with me on a very very visceral, basic level. Which obviously is missing for you, so I totally understand. I could talk a long time about what I love about L.I.E. and still not really get to the core of how the movie gets to me. I mean I don't think its the best movie ever or anything so I don't want to sound like I'm gushing here but I think most of the themes and story in the movie I can really intensely relate to.

Just the depiction of the sexual frustration and motivation at that age really feels authentic to me but I understand, if you don't have that to reflect on, the movie may not have the same sort of power to you. And the Big John character is a very recognizable thing to me.

I've seen it and remember not hating it. Superman and the grumpy dude from Fraiser are in it, that's really the most I remember.

If you think those movies are good you should TOTALLY check out straight cinema, i used to think it was all seedy, melodramtic and immoral but now i can really see the love between a man and a woman in a natural light. I now have 3 straight friends and im totally getting the hang of their lingo like 'marriage' and 'nohiv'.

There's a fantastic documentary about the history of gayness in movies called "The Celluloiud Closet"
