Memory lane

 

Without going through the whole thread to see if it has already been mentioned, I add HAROLD AND MAUDE, which, Romann, I still have on beta.

 

Wow - I'd forgotten that movie. I've got a VHS copy which I taped from television decades ago!

One of my best movie-going experiences was seeing Harold and Maude in a theater in Chicago. Everyone there knew the movie by heart, and we all laughed together throughout.

There are so many, and many great suggestions by you guys, however, I consider Vertigo by Hitchcock to be closest to my top favorite (but probably there cannot be just one..just like lays potato chips...)

Thanks a lot

 

Guys, I have not even imagined and that my post would cause so much activity. So many movies you mention that the whole year will not lead me to view them.

But I will start one by one and view them all.

 

Thanks

Lord, Tom, you are gayer than I am and I didn't think that was possible...

 

Now, Voyager??? Charlotte Vale? Something about "If we can't have the moon, at least, we have the stars.."? And Lord, her Mother was mean, mean, mean... but I am telling you this movie proves to this day that a good hat makes all the difference...

 

Speaking of...

 

Longtime Companion....."It needs a hat... a big Bea Lillie thing..."

 

Jeffrey... "Our gay role..... Lance, the neighbor.."

 

No quotes from these, but I still really loved them;

 

Notes on a Scandal....

 

They Shoot Horses, Don't They?...

 

All over the Guy...

 

It's My Party....

 

This Property is Condemned

 

Imitation of Life

 

Bad and the Beautiful

 

A Star is Born (Judy Garland version, of course)

 

Patch of Blue

 

To Sir, with Love... (loved me some Lulu)

 

A Walk on the Wild Side.... (Miss Barbara Stanwyck is a lesbian, oh my.)

 

The Gift

 

Terms of Endearment

 

An Officer and a Gentleman.... (Drop us like we's trash...)

 

Looking for Mr Goodbar... (Gere's jockstrap dance)

 

American Gigilo (?)... (CALL ME!!!!)

 

Body Heat

 

 

Ok, sorry, Tom, I guess, I am still the gayest of all. Whew, big sigh.

Cant' choose just one...

 

Moulin Rouge. The use of iconic pop/rock songs to move the plot was/is genius and very original.

 

Steel Magnolias. Too many times to count. It's a Thanksgiving Day tradition with friends. Think it may qualify as the all time most quoted movie. I really think they should have included the name 'Todd' along with 'all gay men are named Mark, Rick, or Steve.' I would say 90% of the guys I meet named Todd are gay and the other 10% are gay friendly or 'curious'!

 

The Matrix Trilogy.

 

All the Tom Clancy movies, though the Ben Affleck one was the most disappointing, but still like it.

 

The Robert Ludlum Bourne series. Matt Damon is a bad ass.

 

007 movies, but it's even better watching them with my parentals as they laugh to point of peeing themselves at the preposterous nature of some of Bond's situations. Pretty sure this is unique to mom & pops!

This thread keeps reminding me of films I should have included, like Brokeback Mountain, Longtime Companion and Blazing Saddles, but Hiroshima Mon Amour? I saw it when it came out (1960?), in an art house with a straight date, and both of us were completely baffled by it.

 

And no one has mentioned Make Mine Mink or Lifeboat.

Wow Make Mine Mink, I wonder how Okie forgot that one. That could be his theme movie. 1961 release in Finland, I guess the title fits, but usually anything with Terry-Thomas and the space between his front teeth is funny.

 

Well Okie, it is no wonder you chose to go the cinematic route for your current flavor. Have you thought of naming your films. How about "All About David", "The Three Faces of Jay", "The Eye of the Tyger", "Hope AJ Floats" Just a few ideas I had.

 

Hope you enjoy the humor friend. I am sure I will be receiving the email discussing the openning in my back side.

I am embarrassed to admit that I have never heard of "Make Mine Mink".. what kind of homosexual, am I??? But I am having a tshirt made immediately... Bart is right... that is SO my motto... My ex bf just gave me a shirt that he had made for me that said on the front, "There's a liquor on the right..." and on the back it said, "Should have known, you'd know where to find the boys and the booze..."

 

Just looked it up and it's not available in the US... but not to be foiled, I have a friend that can convert region 2 to region1... so I ordered it and will let you all know...

 

Anyway, appreciate the title suggestions. "All About David"? That rings pretty true... No, where he's concerned, I am thinking more, "The Greatest Show on Earth"? Or should that be ho? Or in my case, "Reversal of Fortune"...

 

Now about you... somehow, "The Abyss" springs to mind.

Boogie Nights

 

the color purple, porky's, basic instinct, steel magnolias, the godfather, Scarface. boogie nights, silence of the lambs, to many horrors films to list

 

Oh yeah! Boogie Nights is another awesome flick. How could I have forgotten the movie's hunkie Mark Wahlberg and his 13-inch boner (even if it was fake)? http://archivos.metatube.com/uploads/videos/thumbs/img_webmaster_1201209036.jpg

Thanks TB

 

My grandmother took me to see "The Sound of Music" when I was six and I have never forgotten the experience. I love the movie to this day. But, the most powerful movie I have ever seen is "Sophie's Choice". I was emotionally devastated by that movie and have compared all other dramas that I have seen to that. Nothing has even come close.

Hey buddy,

Thank you for remaind me about "Sophie's Choice". I rent it yesterday and watched again.
