Some only have gay character(s); others are about gay characters; a few are just really GAY. They are in alphabetical order; that has nothing to say about how I value each one; for that check the stars and my commends.

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert 5.0 Stars
This is a good movie - even if all you want to see is the "king of the elves" (from LOTR) being a "queen".

Before the Fall (Napola) 4.5 Stars
Young German boys trained in special schools for ranking positions in the Nazi "future". A look into the mind set of the time. One boy is picked because he is a fine boxer; another is a writer who begins to see the evil in the Party; hints of their relationship. One interesting scene - the boxer is carefully measured and judged by hair and eye color, distance from nose to chin, width of head and judged to be "very Arian". Very well done movie. Subtitles; it's in German.

Big Eden (2001,  PG-13)
Big Eden 4.5 Stars
This is an unusal gay movie. And the right two guys find each other eventually (Maybe not the two cutest, but the right two). Some serious stuff here and a good deal of fun. When you're gay, it's easy to assume that you won't be accepted, often enough that assumption is a crippling mistake. This is a very good movie whether you're gay or not.

How could anyone not like this movie? L Minelli is outrageous; M Yorkis gay; Joel Grey is over the top; and the threat of Nazism should never be forgotten.

The Celluloid Closet (1997,  R)
The Celluloid Closet 4.5 Stars
I was surprised to see that one of Edison's first "movies" was of three men - one playing a violin and the other two dancing together! Gay or not, this is a valuable piece of history. For gays - a view the rocky road we've travelled and hope for the path ahead; for the rest, hopefully some understanding and acceptance. The hoopla over the "Brokeback" kiss made me uncomfortable. There were a lot of great kisses long before that. Tom Hanks says (in this piece) no matter whom you love, it's still spelled with the same four letters L O V E and pronounced the same way.

Wilson Cruz, some funny stuff, some serious gay stuff; one of the better movies for not stereotyping gays (too much). What happends when your best buddy is gay and everyone (except you) is sure you are too? (Mom even moves in and brings a PFLAG buddy, since she's "always known".)

There is not one thing I don't like about this movie. Well, maybe Nia knocks David over a lot. Great acting; great music; and David's reaction to "the kiss" is worth the price of a ticket.

One of my Flixter "best friends" I Mann said it best: "This is a beautiful movie about the ups and downs of starting to live on your own and of friendship and curiosity. Really lovely movie and I highly recommend it." ... so do I.

Head On (1999,  Unrated)
Head On 3.0 Stars
X rated. Bleak look at some very sad lives - drugs and alcohol, anger, anonymous sex, over-dominant father, totally submissive mother. I watched it twice to not just dismiss it. I suppose some lives are like that. Only one character with some hope -maybe (the rejected boyfriend Sean). It is very well done; but don't expect fun and happiness. One important message: Paul Capsis (the drag queen) says the worst sin is silence. Mark Twain said that too. To see evil and say nothing.

The History Boys 5.0 Stars
If you read the reviews on the page for this movie, you will find an almost total explosion of expletives - I like "absolutely excellent". There is a LOT to enjoy and to learn. The simple scene about the Holocaust is worth seeing the movie. And that's only five mibutes of an extraordinary film. I think I want to read the book... and get my own copy of the movie.

Put your cursor on the poster to see the "plot". It's not really about being naked as much as personal acceptance of who you are. Some fun, some good music, some eye candy (obviously), and only one "borderline" song (still fun). Good addition to our collection. You might like it too.

Excellent. MANY things to think about and talk about after the movie. During the movie LOTS to see and hear and experience. Far above average movie. Maybe you'll find an answer or two; more important, you might find a question or two. What a fuss was made in the USA about two men kissing in "Brokeback Mountain"; in this movie with big stars from England, it 'just happens'. Better message, I think.
