    Hi all,

    Apologies if this isn't the first time this thread has been made (I couldn't see it on the first or second pages) but I was wondering what some of your favourite LGBT films are?



    For me my top 3 LGBT films of all time have to be:

    1. C.R.A.Z.Y.
    2. Sommersturm
    3. Breakfast on Pluto


    So what about you?

    Mysterious Skin
    La mala educación
    Philadelphia
    The Matthew Shepard Story
    Prayers for Bobby

    None of these films are particularly happy. Infact most are disturbing on some level.

    C.R.A.Z.Y.
    The Broken Hearts Club
    Happy Together is quite good also.

    And I must say, I did enjoy Another Gay Movie, though not so much its sequel.

    But I'm a cheerleader
    Transamerica

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Terry Pratchet

    Trying not to mention those already mentioned here, most of which I really enjoyed...

    The King and the Clown - an amazing Korean movie, there's actually no blatant homosexuality in it but rather a much more subtle portrayal of love... One of my favourite films of all time.

    Latter Days - Another touching story, more sexual and in a modern setting.

    Lost and Delirious - probably not as good as the other two, but still worth a watch... but everyone had already name most of my favourite ones :p

    I also forgot "Latter Days".

    "Were the World Mine" is absolutely beautiful as well.

    Brokeback Mountain is one of the 3 films I've ever cried at in my life. *sniff*

    Milk was just brilliant.

    And, Bound. Any one who's seen it will know why ;)


    OT, but has anyone seen Better than Chocolate? What a load of rubbish. I wouldn't mind if it'd been something I came across myself but it was actually recommended on various occasions. God awful

    Stark, I still don't understand. How is Monsters Inc a LGBT related movie? Unless there are some weird gay undertones between Mike and Sully I didn't get!

    The Birdcage is good too, if only to see th eexcellent Robin Williams and Nathan Lane trying to outcamp eachother, and who could resist laughing at Gene Hackman in make-up and heels?! :D

    A joke. Continuing on the theme of movies with "Monster" in the title.
