What do you like in a queer LGBT film? Got a favourite?

[ozguy]

If a movie has a good story about 'real' people, is well acted, and I can relate to it in some way, then that's my kinda movie. Doesn't matter whether it's gay, bi or straight themed. But speaking of gay themed, I watched this one on Tubi last night. Excellent, well acted movie (French, subtitled) but it had me crying buckets at the end ...

Not so much a movie, more an autobiography made with a camera. The events are all true.



For an innocent boy like me, the sight of gay sex on the big screen, actual, not simulated, had my eyes popping out. It was a long time ago.

Has anybody ever seen one from the 90's called "Lie Down With Dogs?". Like too many LGBT films, the plot carried little more weight than a Facebook post, but there were a couple incredible funny moments. One involved the main character getting pissed off at a woman who crumpled and tossed a flyer he had just handed her and another had something to do with hamburgers.

I feel I must sully this parade of romance and gleeful gay discovery with one of the most perverse and disturbing films I've ever seen. I'd post the synopsis but I don't think JUB would allow it.

Yeah...that is pretty dark. For something lighter than that there is the maligant homoeroticism of Passolini's 'Salo'

I like historical tragedy.

It's an excellent movie, especially if you speak German and understand the German way of living.

Many gay issues are dealt with in a completely honest way.

My later love Jack called this movie: "What Happens When You're an Arsehole.".

Y'all should just have to see it yourselves.

I’m watching Angora Ranch for the eighth time. It’s a cute movie.

The Wedding Banquet. I highly recommend it. And it's much better than the trailer:

I'm sick of the tired old tropes: romance, hustling, oppression and AIDS. Makes one wonder if that's all gay culture is about. How about one about a porn star and his heteroflexible friend who are forced to smuggle condoms full of dope across the border . . . only those condoms aren't filled with dope; they're filled with bugs whose bite causes a narcotic-like hallucinations. Things go downhill, to say the least, when one of them is punched in the gut by a homophobic redneck at a rest stop. Best of all, the big bad villain drug lord is a middle-aged swishy queen. Hilarious.

It's billed as a horror film, but it works better as a melodramatic love story.

This is exactly what I wanted. To be introduced to some new ones and reminded of ones I either haven't seen in forever or forgot I need to see! So thank you all.

I don't know. Looks grim. Reminds me of Splinter:

BTW. I found 'Call Me By Your Name', bloated and verbose to the point of not liking any of the characters.

But I also wanted to mention one I absolutely loathe. This insipid excuse for a gay comedy is the most cringe inducing bore fest I have ever hadf the displeasure of seeing.

Bros (2022) ⭐ 6.3 | Comedy, Romance

The funny thing is that the overwhelming majority of positive critiques those two pieces of crap received came from virtue-signaling straight people who’ll label any gay flick as “groundbreaking” and “incredible,” be it true or not.

I have it on DVD. I've watched it several times. Mostly to see how they handle filming fake twins, and the nudity ain't bad. LOL

It's a fun watch, though. Strange story.
