+ WilliamM Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 "Shelter" is not a well-known known gay film, but it deals well with difficult family issues while being enjoyable as well. Also Petro Almoodovar's "Bad Education" and "Law of Desire" On "Death in Venice" I prefer the opera version (available on DVD) or the actual Thomas Mann novella. The value of the film is the locations in Venice both the canals and the Lido + newguy, OCClient, Mydavid and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Gar1eth Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I usually go for more comedic/romantic movies-and I've decided I don't like any of them. They show incredibly handsome guys who but for their shyness or due to bad luck-miss out on their soulmate -and then gain him in the end. They make me sad about my life.

But he came by it naturally. I had a crush on his father Lloyd as a child. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/coww522zy8ndxqb/File%20Mar%2030%2C%2011%2007%2019%20PM.jpeg?dl=0 Gman TruHart1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ BigRic Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Apropos of nothing other than the Hart Bochner talk, I want to mention Twilight Time Blu-ray commentary contributor Julie Kirgo. She's effusive in her man praise (wonderful--and refreshing in the current climate--to hear her enthusiastic praise of Sidney Poitier's beauty on the To Sir, With Love track). I found her comments about Bochner on the Breaking Away commentary interesting. TruHart1 and Nvr2Thick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Petro Almoodovar's "Bad Education" and "Law of Desire" I can't believe Shelter was 10 years ago. San Pedro never looked so good. Bad Education is one of my FAVORITE movies.

TruHart1 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I could never tell if Hart Bochner was gay/bi or just using his roommate. Gman I do believe that was the filmmaker's intent in the film. Much is definitely not as it first appears to be. TruHart1 MartyB and + WilliamM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nvr2Thick Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 No one has mentioned In and Out. It's a horrible movie with some truly funny bits. Matt Dillon and Joan Cusack are wonderfully funny, and Debbie Reynolds is a precious hoot. Kline and Selleck are fine, I guess, but I just didn't buy either one of them. I felt the same way about The Bird Cage; horrible movie with funny bits. marylander1940 and + WilliamM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADoug1 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 There was a British movie where a closeted member of Parliament is being blackmailed for being gay. Can't remember the name. Any help? Also no one has mentioned Moonlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtime lurker Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Well, I always thought that Hitchcock's "Rope" was gay. Maybe beyond gay..... ... and Strangers On the Train, also with Farley Granger. Robert Walker's Bruno to Farley's "Guy" (what a guy!): "I like you..." In addition, Judith Anderson's Mrs. Danvers in Rebecca. Yet these were not exactly "stellar" gay characters to be proud of. Another curio though... Hitchcock did have the comic team "Charters & Caldicott" sharing a bed in The Lady Vanishes. Then again, that film was British (a bit more gay friendly) while the others were made later in prudish Hollywood. MartyB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help? Also no one has mentioned Moonlight. I mentioned Moonlight in reference to Wings and Midnight Cowboy predating it as Best Pictures... sort of, kind of. Also mentioned Victim (1961), which I... think... is that one. Here is Wings, the first Oscar winner for Best Pic. Yeah, sure, they are ONLY bro-buddies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MZuFX6CuNo Edited March 31, 2017 by longtime lurker LADoug1 and Mydavid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtime lurker Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 ... and it isn't just Wings, Midnight Cowboy and Moonlight. A surprising number of Best Pictures were simply fabulous... Broadway Melody All Quiet On the Western Front ... they were doing fine together until those French maidens showed up. http://pics.livejournal.com/markprobst/pic/0000bt1k/s320x240 Mutiny on the Bounty ... sure there are South Seas maidens, but Clark Gable and Franchot Tone are pretty bro-buddyish. Also let's not forget Charles Laughton satisfying his S&M fetish. Rebecca All About Eve ... the queen of all queens. Anne Baxter's Eve is ready to do ANYTHING for Bette Davis' Margo. Yet Bette just isn't accepting the affection. From Here to Eternity ... Monty & Frankie are like two peas in a pod http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WOEOSdom2zI/VhtIJWKmFUI/AAAAAAAAfQI/IexbS3ABtfo/s1600/frank%2Bsinatra%2BMaggio%2Bdying%2Bin%2BPrew%2527s%2Barms.jpg West Side Story ... she wants to be a Jet so baaaaad http://hollowlands.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Anybodys.jpg Lawrence of Arabia http://www.dvd.net.au/movies/l/03146-1.jpg I guess we can include the bro-buddy drinking scene in The Deer Hunter. Never a fan of Braveheart though and its stereotyped king-in-waiting. Oh... American Beauty had plenty of material to work with...

TruthBTold Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 There was a musical version of "The Opposite of Sex" starring David Burtka as the boy toy. It played at the smaller theater at Williamstown, MA. Burtka was fine, but his husband, Neil Patrick Harris has more talent. Sadly, the musical did not have the humor or the superior acting of the film. @TruthBTold, great list. Christina Ricci gave a stellar performance. Also, it was the first film in which I started to really like Lisa Kudrow. If you have not seen her in Happy Endings by the same director try to catch it. It is funny like The Opposite of Sex and has several outstanding performances (Steve Coogan, Bobby Cannavale, Lisa Kudrow, Laura Dern, Jason Ritter, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and believe it or not, Tom Arnold. It is not as good as Opposite of Sex but still very well worth watching. + g56whiz, Danny-Darko and + WilliamM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becket Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Latter Days made my heart hurt. Sandvoss was so beautiful and played it so vulnerably. BTW there is this porn scene floating around where a guy that looks a bit like him dressed in his Mormon work clothes knocks on the door of the home of a potential prospect. The other dude in the scene is very odd looking. But the "mormon boy" does a fantastic job of acting like a curious straight/bi boy having his first experience. He never opens his mouth, well...to speak anyway. Mydavid and down_to_business 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtime lurker Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 O Fantasma Origional Uncut Version From Portugal My... I didn't realize lil' ol' you had such dark tastes. A few clips remind me of this golden oldie from way, way back. Watch at your own risk since this counts as soft-core porn. Granted, I have the feeling half of the readers here have seen it already. So many of us have "artistic" backgrounds. Rumor has it that established director Jean Cocteau helped with the cinematography. [MEDIA=vimeo]74252210[/MEDIA] Ah yes, Old Gay Paree... which reminds me... Victor Victoria. A very uplifting positive representation of a gay relationship. Best lines (featuring Lesley Ann Warren and Robert Preston): Norma: You know... I think that the right woman could reform you. Toddy: You know, I think that the right woman could reform you, too. Norma: Me? Give up men? Forget it! Toddy: You took the words right out of my mouth. LADoug1, + sam.fitzpatrick, + WilliamM and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I have an "artistic" side too, so likely have watched the same films you have.. I saw "The Last Tango in Paris" the day it was released in France in 1973.... the same with Pasolini's "Salo."

I really like Passolini's Decameron though, despite the goings on being all heterosexual. The scenes with the "gardener" spreading his seed in the convent are hysterical.
