I agree with Curtis (I think it was him) that most gay movies are pretty bad. I just think it's a new genre and will hopefully get better over time. I like a fair amount of movies in the Top 50 list.

I haven't but I really want to. Todd Stephens did that too, right? (the same guy that did Edge of Seventeen and Gypsy 83) I also want to see Hellbent that's been called the "first gay slasher movie" -

I agree.

Am I a bad homo if I haven't seen most of these? When I was dating my ex Chuck, we used to rent gay movies from Netflix. Most of them were beyond dreadful. It seemed like 9 out of 10 of them had at least one character (and usually more) who had AIDS, which I found both depressing and infuriating. One that I really liked was called Cowboys & Angels, and I think I liked it mainly because the gay guy in it didn't have AIDS or a meth addiction.

Brokeback Mountain - okay, but I think I could go forever without seeing another movie where the homo comes to a tragic end.

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert - haven't seen it, and doesn't appeal to me in the slightest

The Sum of Us - I think I may have seen this, but I can't remember what it's about...can someone refresh my memory?

Maurice - I may have seen this one, too, but can't remember

The Birdcage - awful...I cannot stand Robin Williams or Nathan Lane...or Hank Azaria...this movie is a complete and total piece of ****

Adam and Steve - haven't seen it, but I heard it's awful

The Rocky Horror Picture Show - I think I've seen bits and pieces of this...it's not really my thing

Jeffrey - not that great...again, not every gay character has to have AIDS or be in a methodone program

The rest of these, I haven't seen (I don't think):

Angels in America

There were certainly funny moments in the movie. But overall, I just felt it was one more big silly cartoon about queens. The script didn't have much regard for any of the characters. Everyone was a farce. I didn't feel that the parts were written with any humanity. God knows I love a silly movie. Nothing like a John Waters film! But this thing bugged the hell outta me. Something about the way those two act like homos (even though Nathan Lane is gayer than Liberace at a bathhouse)
comes off as demeaning and lurid.

Thank you!!!

You've summed up my feelings about this movie perfectly.

But, Diane W. made that film; she stole every scene she was in and I could not wait for her in the scenes she was not in. Though, I must say, the butching up of Lane was HYSTERICAL - at least to me!!!!

no fassbinder films!? what kind of list is this??

i really love aimee & jaguar. . .but it's severely depressing. not the kind of thing i whip out on a rainy day.

[goldustsongbird]

Gia is just okay. I used to absolutely love it. not so much anymore. I never could stand Madame Fishlips Jolie, but I'll still drag it out to watch every now and then.

I haven't seen all of And The Band Played On, but what I've seen so far, I like. Any good? Worth renting?
