LGBT themed movies?

Dr. Baltar

Hi all,

Apologies if this isn't the first time this thread has been made (I couldn't see it on the first or second pages) but I was wondering what some of your favourite LGBT films are?



For me my top 3 LGBT films of all time have to be:

1. C.R.A.Z.Y.
2. Sommersturm
3. Breakfast on Pluto


So what about you?

Beruthiel

Juste Une Question d'Amour
Broke Back Mountain
Shelter

Sir Ophiuchus

1. Beautiful Thing
2. CRAZY
3. Edge of Seventeen

I haven't seen many but honourable mentions go to:

Beautiful Thing
Prescilla: Queen Of The Desert
To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar
Get Real

Stark

Gods and Monsters
Monster
Monsters, Inc.

Boston

Mysterious Skin
La mala educación
Philadelphia
The Matthew Shepard Story
Prayers for Bobby

None of these films are particularly happy. Infact most are disturbing on some level.

CSaber

C.R.A.Z.Y.
The Broken Hearts Club
Happy Together is quite good also.

And I must say, I did enjoy Another Gay Movie, though not so much its sequel.

Psychedelia

shelter - very good
Boy Culture - very good

Brokeback mountain - ok.

A beautiful thing - ok

But I'm a cheerleader

Trying not to mention those already mentioned here, most of which I really enjoyed...

The King and the Clown - an amazing Korean movie, there's actually no blatant homosexuality in it but rather a much more subtle portrayal of love... One of my favourite films of all time.

Latter Days - Another touching story, more sexual and in a modern setting.

Lost and Delirious - probably not as good as the other two, but still worth a watch... but everyone had already name most of my favourite ones

Can't believe I also forgot about Philadelphia and Milk. Great films too.

Stark

Ah yes, add Philadelphia and Milk to my list.

Gotta love But I'm A Cheerleader!

Also...
Goldfish Memory
Loving Annabelle
Latter Days
Lost and Delirious (bit OTT at end, but still...)
Velvet Goldmine
D.E.B.S. (ridiculously fluffy 'n' cute)
Milk

Sir Ophiuchus

I also forgot "Latter Days".

"Were the World Mine" is absolutely beautiful as well.

Brokeback Mountain is one of the 3 films I've ever cried at in my life. *sniff*

Milk was just brilliant.

And, Bound. Any one who's seen it will know why


OT, but has anyone seen Better than Chocolate? What a load of rubbish. I wouldn't mind if it'd been something I came across myself but it was actually recommended on various occasions. God awful

The Birdcage. Very funny, starring Robin Williams.

Nuff said.

MicraBoy

Brokeback Mountain
Monster
Boys Don't Cry

And from a musical perspective:
The Rocky Horror Picture SHow
Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Beruthiel

Pédale douce was also amusing.

CSaber

Love The Birdcage which reminds me of another comedy I enjoy 'In & Out'.

Bruno??

Stark, I still don't understand. How is Monsters Inc a LGBT related movie? Unless there are some weird gay undertones between Mike and Sully I didn't get!

The Birdcage is good too, if only to see th eexcellent Robin Williams and Nathan Lane trying to outcamp eachother, and who could resist laughing at Gene Hackman in make-up and heels?!

A joke. Continuing on the theme of movies with "Monster" in the title.

Ah right! Silly me!

No for me it is the scene where they are all listening intently to Hackman describe the drive down through the states, discussing the changing colour of the foliage!

bp1989

I've seen some really good ones (like CRAZY), but also some really, really bad ones (like Make The Yuletide Gay)

vicecreamsundae

Small Town Gay Bar is a pretty cool little documentary i happened to catch late at night on rte a couple months ago

Boys Don't Cry
The Matthew Shepherd Story

Bodhisopha

I'm not an L, B, G or a T but one of my fave directors, Pedro Almodovar, movies tend to be about L, B, G's or T's.

Really good movies, but i know how some people can't stand subtitles.

Volver
All about my mother
Live Flesh
Bad Education etc..

To name but a few.

Long before Ang Lee did Brokeback he directed a really lovely movie called The Wedding Banquet. Watch it if you get the chance.

That's a beautiful film. Another "art house" film that I positively adored was Fire which I saw at the Gay Games in Amsterdam many years ago.

mysterious skin great film
trying to think of ones that havent been said,could only come up with ed wood and little ashes

ajxx

In order of Preference

Broken Hearts Club: Mainly as real cute actors most of whom you would have seen before - the guy who played Superman in the TV series and another was a regular in Seventh Heaven)

Shelter - Favourite storyline wise!
Latter Days - Like the story, guys are cute too.
Beautiful Thing - UK spin and kinda nice to see young love.

Nobody else watched "A Single Man" then? 'Coz it's well worthy of this thread.

Worthy of the thread but in a weird sense its not exactly the "gay movie" you might expect.

It seems to be kinda more lost romance - where as some of the other gay movies are (IMHO) designed to tug at the heartstrings of the single gay guy???

Still well worth watching - if only for Nicholas Hoults cheesy chatup lines!

Stark

Just saw it over the weekend. It's good alright.
