1. why isn't Birdcage on the list

I loved that movie.

[nytemare]

8. And, no Boy's Don't Cry.

Obviously two different ends of the spectrum, but Birdcage was one of my favorite comedies. Hank Azaria was a trip, and I just love Nathan Lane.

[davidinalameda]

20. I thought it bit

I saw the movie in the theatre and will watch if it comes on TV but it's nothing compared to the other movies on that list

it was a major studio attempt to make a gay themed movie

and a failed attempt at that; it was nothing but stereotypes

[beyurslf]

24. I don't count Bridcage as a real "gay" movie. It was a gay movie for straight folks to watch and

fell good because they watched a "gay" movie. In the movie, they have a great big fight, Nathan Lane storms out, ready to leave Robin Williams. When Robin finds him, and they see each other and know all can be well again in their union, they do what any couple would do---sit on a bench and Robin puts his hand on Nathan's knee? Yeah, just what any couple would do.....

[LostinVA]

43. I agree -- like how "A River Runs Through It" is really a chick flick

Disguised as a guy's fishing movie (one of my top five movies, actually).

[GodlessBiker]

2. Without My Beautiful Launderette, the list is bogus, man.

[sasha031]

3. that was great too

[cboy4]

7. I'm just the messenger bud.

:)

[Glorfindel]

4. Good list, but I'd rate "Latter Days" higher and "Trick" lower

Thanks for posting it. "Another Country" along with "Birdcage" should also rate honorable mention.

[davidinalameda]

14. I love Trick!

any movie that has Tori Spelling as a parody of herself is priceless

[LostinRed]

53. +1 Trick (eom)

[Speck Tater]

5. Kissing Jessica Stein - also - Imagine Me & You

I liked both of those very much. But what do I know? I'm not gay.

[Astrad]

6. Long Time Companion

That was pretty seminal.

[beyurslf]

27. WONDERFUL movie!

[givemebackmycountry]

9. There is a couple of gems missing

"And the Band Played On"
It may not be a "gay" movie but it was about 'gay" people.

"The Crying Game"
Again not necessarily a "gay" movie but most certainly a human one.

[beyurslf]

28. Both great movies.

I would say And the Band Played on is a gay movie. The start of the AIDS epidemic was centered on gay culture and communities. I know I learned a lot from that movie.

[Behind the Aegis]

10. But, I'm a Cheerleader!

It is a great, short, easily understood movie. It is great!

[davidinalameda]

15. another fantastic movie

it was so freaking sweet!

[Warpy]

11. "Kinky Boots"

Not only a true story, but one about taking people as they are, not as we want them to be.

[we can do it]

12. Birdcage #1

[meegbear]

44. Birdcage??1!!!1?

'La Cage Aux Folles' thank you very bloody much.

[qazplm]

13. Philadelphia?

Pretty big time movie.

[beyurslf]

25. Another big Hollywood "gay" movie for the masses that lets people watch a "gay"

movie without actually seeing anything gay in it. Tom danced with a guy for a few minutes, right?
Not saying it is bad. It was a great movie and I love that people are willing to watch movies about gay people. But those movies do not show gay life.

[LostinVA]

16. I think "Maurice" should be #2 or #3, Damien -- and I also vote for "Jessica Stein"

I thought of you and your burn with the "lesbian discount" when we drove by a Coldstone Creamery this weekend.

[cboy4]

21. Oh, you know nobody loves lesbians AND discounts more

than me.

[soothsayer]

17. The Hunger and Desert Hearts (useful in seducing 'straight ' chicks)

back in the day when I did such things.

[Rhythm]

48. I was going to mention both of those...

Definite favorites from back in the day...

[LostinVA]

18. Since Damien hates lesbians, I'll give 10 good lesbian movies (in no order)

1. My Summer of Love

2. Tipping the Velvet

3. Fingersmith

4. Heavenly Creatures

5. But I'm a Cheerleader

6. The Hours (the kiss between Toni Collete and Julieanne Moore -- OMG)

7. High Art

8. Kissing Jessica Stein

9. Aimee and Jaguar

10. Your favorite

[cboy4]

22. FALSE!

[LostinVA]

26. LIAR!

You hate us!

[cboy4]

29. I've been having a huge lesbian crush fest this week

watching Ellen, and hearing and seeing all about her wedding!

I'll tell you what, Portia de Rossi is no Haruka, but that is one attractive woman.

She almost turns me straight.

:loveya:

[LostinVA]

30. It's something Ellen and I have in common

We both have trophy wives.

Mine also is a handywoman around the house, which is good, because we bought a fixer-upper.

[cboy4]

31. Yea, I doubt Portia knows what a screwdriver is .. unless

she's at a cocktail party.

I think you have the better trophy.

"...because we bought a fixer-upper." :spray:

[LostinVA]

32. Haruka knows her way around both varieties of screwdrivers

Her mom wants to buy us a window cleaning service for our anniversary present. We're like, "get us a Lowe's giftcard, because Haruka is putting in slate laminate!" Her mom is totally OCD about cleaning, so apparently the windowsills are her #1 priority.

[cboy4]

35. Yea, can never go wrong with the giftcards.

[friedgreentomatoes]

37. High Art! High Art! High Art!!

amazing movie!

and in place of "your favorite" i will put "The Truth About Jane"

[LostinVA]

42. A very good movie, indeed ("Jane")!

A bit nicely cheesy in parts -- which is a GOOD thing in an "issues" movie -- but very well acted and very well done.

[Chovexani]

49. My favorite

The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love. It may not be high art, but watching that movie as a 16 year old literally changed my life. And the title characters were basically me and my first girlfriend. :)

[sui generis]

55. I remember a fab scene from the Hunger

. . . :P

also the original book was omni-sexual.

[LostinVA]

19. "Get Real" deserves a place on that list

[beyurslf]

23. Torch Song Trilogy is my all time favorite. Long Time Companion? It's My Party?

[DCKit]

33. Another Country (1984) n/t

[mitchtv]

34. Allow me to recommend an oldie

It was very important to me when I was young
The Children's Hour with audrey Hepburn and Shirley McClain.

[friedgreentomatoes]

36. that movie

........sent me into a mini-depression :(

[Smarmie Doofus]

38. Brokeback and Beautiful Thing are A+ films.

The rest of the list is stuff I haven't seen, can't remember or wasn't impressed by.

[terrya]

39. You HAVE to add "Parting Glances" to that list.

I'm sort of surprised it isn't.

[bigscott]

40. It's my party

"Bent" (awesome, depressing, moving and inspiring all at the same time)
and
"To Wong Foo" - much better than Priscilla - although Terence Stamp is a God!

[FuzzyDicePHL]

46. Heartily agree about Parting Glances!!

I'd also have "The Living End" on this list. "Watermelon Woman" too.

[NorthCarolina]

41. The Adventures of Priscilla

should be higher up on that list IMO.

[Moloch]

45. No Boy Culture?

Trick was a cute movie but one of the best of all time? I dunno...

[Unvanguard]

47. I thought The Trip was better than any of those that I've seen

which would be 1, 2, 3, 4, and 9.

[NorthCarolina]

50. Sordid Lives didn't make the top 10?

Shame, thoroughly delightful and extremely humorous.

[LoveIsNow]

51. Great List, BUT

Beautiful Thing should have been at the top, it has always been my favorite and along with La Cage Aux Folles (the musical) helped me work up the courage to come out, so it will always have a special place for me.

[NMDemDist2]

52. kick so I can find it when I get home

for my netflix lists

:evilgrin:

[indigo32]

54. hmmm

noone mentions 'All Over Me'?
I can't be the only one who loved that one

Torch Song Trilogy is also a wonderful film
