Movie Recommendations - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

joeyconnick · 26th May 2005, 05:49 PM

Okay, I decided to actually START a thread... here are some of my recommended queer movies:

- Lilies
- Trick (Tori Spelling finally in a perfect role)
- The Hanging Garden
- It's My Party
- Jeffrey
- Latter Days
- The Incredibly True Story of Two Girls In Love
- When Night Is Falling
- Must Be The Music (possibly the best gay short of all time, on a collection called Boys Life 2)
- Cursed (best gay subplot in a mainstream movie ever)
- Get Real
- Relax It's Just Sex
- Sugar
- L.I.E.
- Eating Out (featuring one of the two actors playing gay guys from the recent Desperate Housewive gay teen subplot)
- D.E.B.S.
- Saved!
- The Sum of Us (Russell Crowe... seriously!)
- Trevor (also in Boys Life 2)
- Doors Cut Down & Backroom (both in Boys Briefs 2)
- Masturbation: Putting the Fun into Self Loving (included in Men's Mix 1, and it's fall on the floor funny/sexy)

I'm sure there's more... but my memory only holds so much!

Hey how was Eating Out? I read a local review in my newspaper, I think it only got 1 star out of 4...I don't really remember, but how was it in your opinion (or anyone else whos seen the movie)?

The dialogue, especially at the beginning, was some of the best I've heard since Buffy. It started out okay, although its production values are pretty low, but then it got pretty lousy, with a totally confused/lame/stupid ending. But it's worth it for the dialogue and hot boys.

I love Saved! (Just thought I'd put that out there.)

joeyconnick · 26th May 2005, 06:07 PM

Okay, speaking of opinions, has anyone seen Speedway Junky with JTT? I've had that on my list of movies to see for a while and I've never gotten around to it. It's directed by the same guy who Must Be The Music, the short I highly recommended above.

And it was filmed in my hometown! And Mandy Moore is just so cool for having done the role she did in it, and who thought Mackulay Culkin would be cute after all these years?

My friend goes, "I've never wanted to do a person in a wheelchair more than I did while watching that movie."

EDIT: It was filmed in your hometown? Coooool... Well it's fictitiously set in mine! LOL :tongue:

Maryland, Canada, same difference really.

goratrix · 26th May 2005, 07:05 PM

My all times faves:

Pulp Fiction
Swordfish
Star Trek: First Contact (surprised?)
Hackers
Space Balls
Patch Addams (don't ask!)
Moulin Rouge (what can I do? I'm a hopeless romantic)
Tommy (by The Who)
The Wall

hawkeye · 26th May 2005, 07:52 PM

ahh! I wish i could get a hold of those. I guess i could buy them off the interet and have them sent. It would be too weird trying to rent one. (especially with some of the names i saw in there)

NetFlix, baby! NetFlix!

EDIT: Heh. I just remembered that some people on here are under 18... But don't care too much about renting them. Believe me, the clerks at Blockbuster see 100s of people a day, they're not going to remember you and be like, "Oh... that's the kid who rented the gay-themed movie... let's laugh at him!" LOL

I think you should be safe.

hawkeye · 26th May 2005, 10:05 PM

lol, yea, Its not the clerks that I'm worried about. I'd just rather be able to handle (god i hate this) hinding stuff like that from anyone that doesnt know. I'm pretty good at hiding stuff, but needing to usher anything to and from my room/house gets difficult. I dont think I'll stay closeted for too much longer, and I'm starting a dvd collection, I dont think i'd be a problem (or even hard for that matter) for me to buy movies that I want (within reason).

Now if i could just find a person to watch them with.

Queer movies... not general movies. Although I guess Moulin Rouge is queer somehow.

hawkeye · 26th May 2005, 11:07 PM

lol, i guess space balls could be mis-identified as a gay flick. funny movie though.

goratrix · 27th May 2005, 04:19 PM

Ooops, *goes red*...

Ok... I don't watch many queer movies... It's not like I can go and rent one, and downloading takes ages with my crappy connection.

And who you callin' a Yankee-boy? Maryland's below the Mason-Dixon line, which makes us part of the South, baby! (We're just not evil like the rest of it, but yeah... at least around DC and Baltimore it's so Yankee it's not even funny... but down in the more rural areas... whoa. Yeah, over there the South is alive and well.)

Phenobarbidol · 28th May 2005, 04:58 PM

I loved Party Monster.Mackulay Culkin is in it. since some of you seem to be fans of his.

All Americans are Yankees to Canadians.

Just like you all think we live in igloos and say "eh." Which trust me, I do not.

I've actually already seen it. I didn't love it but I thought it was really well done. I just kept thinking how weird it was that this totally different world was going on while I was around the same age as the characters and also going clubbing.

Yeah, and for south americans yankees are all north american (i.e. american and canadian=... and we usually refer to them as 'those damn imperialists yankees'... not that I use that terminology... but hey, we all have the right to envy those who have more than we do!
