I watched Eating Out 2 last night. I liked it.

I think the title is shit, it turned me off from watching it for some time. Get over that tho and it is a funny film. The dude with big low hangers was rather nice too.

I guess it should be no. 3 next.

 

[Ellybelly909]

Off the top of my head, here are a few:

Torch Song Trilogy

Shelter

Latter Days

All Over the Guy

Broken Hearts Club

 

[giftart]

Shelter,

Make the Yuletide gay.

I watched Trick last night with bf. I enjoyed it.

I'm loving this gay movie fest I am having at the moment.

Eating out movies next probably.

Trick is a little gem of a movie. Boy meets boy, boy loses boy, boy gets boy back. It's not preachy and doesn't delve into "issues". If there's nothing on TV to watch I drop in my DVD of Trick and watch it again. Great characters, New York's Greenwich Village in the 90's, Gabe and Mark are cute together.

I bought the DVD about 8 years ago and have watched it many times. I snail-mailed a letter to Jim Fall thanking him for making the film. It's given me years of pleasure.

Enter You, by Gabriel from Trick

Enter you, voilà it's showtime
you brought the house down with a dance and a dum-diddy
enter you, in less than no time
this ugly drama has become pretty....

up went the curtain
my lines felt wrong
intermission seemed so far away...

the plot uncertain
the scene's too long
life is but an uninspiring play....

now you're here
we meet stage center
i thought my story line was through
then enter you!


P.S.

Eating Out 2 is better than Eating Out (the first one). You'll enjoy it.

Has anyone seen Sebastiane (1976)? Should I bother?

"Sebastaine" is definitely an art film: it's very slow, it's loaded with symbolic imagery, and it's entirely in Latin.

Most people who like Derek Jarman prefer "Caravaggio" and "Edward II" (it has a cameo by Annie Lennox) to "Sebastiane."

P.S.: For those who like art films, I HIGHLY recommend "Pink Narcissus."

 

[clorox]

These are all kind of sad in their own way, but the happier ones I've seen are already listed

A Love to Hide
C.R.A.Z.Y
The Bubble
The Trip
The Line of Beauty (2 or 3 part mini series)

 

[Jacquemar]

I REALLY liked "The Wolves of Kromer."

How very true.

No. 2 is certainly the best of the trilogy.
I would see a fourth if they made one however.

No.3 was OK, but I missed the cuties from the first two films.

We watched Mr Right the other night.

It was hmmm. It felt disjointed. Would have made a better TV series where the characters could have been fleshed out more. Maybe each episode revolving around a different person. But oh well, another one down.

But what to watch next?

 

[Kojimon]

I think I have seen Hedwig and the Angry Inch mentioned yet. It is definitely a favorite for me and my husband.

for me it is has to be Rope, the Hitchcock film. i dont think it was an official gay film, but the main characters in the film are gay, so for me it is.

i wanted to post about it too. I really like this film. "these hands will bring you fame..." brilliant
but it's not a movie in which gayness is all that important. It is not something obvious either. One could watch it and not guess it.

I have a nostalgy for Les Roseaux Savages and for The Confusions of young Torless, as well as Europa Europa by A. Holland. There's not much gayness in the second and the third, but these are one of few films in which there was some homosexuality which I have watched as a child, and I remembered them for many years.

Make the Yuletide gay.

I was hoping someone would mention this one. I watched it on Netflix not expecting much, but it's a sweet comedy.

Some others I like:

Shelter (duh, who doesn't love this one?)
Long Term Relationship
Ciao
Philadelphia
Victor/Victoria
And the Band Played On
In and Out
Latter Days (Netflix has this listed under Gay Comedy WTF??)
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Hate Crime (a sleeper that I didn't expect to be so good)
Love! Valor! Compassion!
Torch Song Trilogy

 

[Blk_Thickness]

Noah's Arc

 

[Lumière]

I've seen a few, but among the most memorable are:

Juste une question d'amour
Sommersturm (I have to watch it with subtitles, but I still enjoy it.)
Prayers for Bobby
Shelter
Latter Days

Definitely my favorites up until now.

 

[Lumière]

Definitely interested in watching Get Real and Coming Out. Does anyone recommend or not?

 

[crowboy]

Get Real was great. I liked it. I would recommend.

Last night we watched Almost Normal. It was weird but OK. I loved the idea of a world where straight was not "normal". An interesting concept.

 

[ibill1]

It sounds like a movie I have on my list to see soon. It is called Defying Gravity.
Check it out at IMDb (International Movie Database)

I just watched this last night. It's older, 97 I believe, I really enjoyed it. You can rent it from netflix, probably impossible to find in a video store.

 

[irydion]

oh, I forgot about Veronica's closet series. The gay character was in denial, but I loved the show, also because of him.
