Also for free on subscription service dekkoo. Terrible script. Worse acting. I’m struggling at the 30 min. mark…does it get any better? Addendum….for the record the gun scene occurs…at least twice.

manforme Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Latter Days. I liked it more than most gay theme movies I have seen. I also liked Handsome Devil (an Irish movie). There are a few others, but I have to try to recall their titles. Rod Hagen, Stormy, JourneysEnd and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually becomes more about how good looking the characters are (or nudity) versus the quality of writing and performance. Sweetie. You of all people should know we can be both smart and sexy. Or, we can have our movie cake and eat our movie eye candy, too. Or at least imagine what it would be like to eat it. 😉 This is an awesome thread. I just read it, years after it started. For the record, if I had to name one LGBTQ masterpiece I'd go for God's Own Country. But below is my list of films that have not been mentioned once here, that I really enjoyed and I think are worth watching. There's several articles out now about movies to watch after RWRB, if you want more of the same. So this can be taken that way. None will be on a Top 10 list, including my own. I left out the great LGBTQ documentaries and dramas about serial killers. These are all either Gay love stories, or moving stories about families that involve a Gay father or son or loved one. Almost all have one form or another of serious eye candy, usually Straight guys playing Gay men. Which I named in parentheses. Akron (both male leads) Circuit (both male leads) Defying Gravity (both male leads) Eating Out (the whole series) Giant Little Ones (too bad Darren Mann isn't Gay) Jonathon (Jannis Niewohner, in anything. Or nothing.) Jongens / Boys (both male leads) Kapoor & Sons (Sidharth Malhotra) La Partida/ The Last Match (both male leads) Le Clan/3 Dancing Slaves (the whole male cast, but especially Salim Kechiouche and Thomas Kumerchez in the other even sexier boat house scene compared to Maurice. Unsolicited advice for RWRB sequel ..... steal this scene (we know TZP has a hairy ass), and the line "Rape me, but don't hurt me.") Le Fil/ The String (Salim Kechiouche, again, in anything ... ideally naked) Longtime Companions (the first time Dermot Mulroney broke my heart) Man Of The Year (too bad Dirk Shafer never had an Amazon movie budget to worth with) Maybe Maybe Not (not .......... but Til Schweiger is still pretty) Parting Glances (I still think John Bolger looks like a Ken doll) Presque rien/Come Undone (both male leads) Punch (Jordan Oosterhof knocked me out) Rocket Man (I always thought Bernie Taupin was cute, and Jamie Bell is adorable) Snails In The Rain (not as good as Yossi & Jagger, but Yoav Reuvani is even prettier) Someone Has To Die (which sucks, but they are still gorgeous) Sommersturm (Kostja Ullmann, who also looked good getting whipped in Punish Me) The Skinny (most of the cast) The Thing About Harry (both male leads, and even more brainless and fun than RWRB) Your Name Engraved Herein (both male leads) Unless I missed it, none of these were mentioned. Except for the last one, which was actually mentioned a few times in the thread, as "depressing." So I included it to say I loved it. I guess the depressing part is boy meets boy, boy loses boy, and boy never gets boy back. Or does he? I think that's left open to interpretation. It is the most successful LGBTQ movie in Taiwan ever, as well as the most popular Taiwanese film of 2020, period. I think it could be taken as a societal recognition of what was wrong in a world in which two guys couldn't just meet and get married when they were young, horny, and sexy as hell. It's a better world now. And the commercial success of this movie proves it, I think. I'm guessing almost every one of these movies, especially the older ones, was very difficult to get funding for. Hopefully this thread is just getting started. 😉 Edited September 1, 2023 by stevenkesslar Marc in Calif, + Just Sayin, Rod Hagen and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I intentionally watched Salim get (you know what) by the boyfriend of the woman he is fucking while he is almost naked in a shower, that does kind of make me Gay. Doesn't it? It also proves that us Gay guys are far more gracious when we are being fucked by gorgeous men, I think. 😉 Edited September 10, 2023 by stevenkesslar Marc in Calif and JourneysEnd 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyDown Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 With my library card I was able to stream Brazilian 2015 film "Seashore" on Kanopy.com Many of you might compare it to watching paint dry. I get it. The film is quiet and the pace is very slow. But for me Seashore weaves a poignant, coming of age story, with clever direction and spare dialogue, how I like some films. I will watch it again. Marc in Calif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becket Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Recently I saw the movie Beach Rats. Kinda sexy, kinda sad. Seemed to be an accurate portrayal, IMHO, of the struggle many of us share with gay and bi teenagers. There was one scene of the main character looking at pics online of men looking for sex. He would cover his eyes with his hands, then spread his fingers out and cautiously peer through. It was like he wanted to look at the ads, but couldn't stand himself looking at the ads. KnowwhatImean? His internal struggles looked very real, very familiar. Rod Hagen, spidir, TonyDown and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is why he used that song, ONLY READ THIS IF YOU'VE Seen the movie.
