Head On (Greek) ****

..ahem! As a proud Aussie I need to correct this error. It's an Australian film, but about a Greek boy living in Melbourne, Australia.

Walk on Water is also an Australian film.

Cheers

Thanks for letting me know. I really like "Head On" and "Walk on Water"!

Now I have add another wonderful French film to this list. "Les Chansons D'amour" (2007)(Love Songs). It is a gay themed musical but the story line and all the songs are so good! Some people probably don't care for the musical film. It is a light musical not heavy one. Such a sweet and light French romance. I love it! Don't miss it.

reply

Is Crimial Lovers gay themed related?

reply

"Is Crimial Lovers gay themed related?"

I'd say anything with Salim Keliouche is at least somewhat "gay themed related." Grand Ecole, Full Speed, and Three Dancing Slaves may be better examples.

I'd also say that Salim is extremely gorgeous and hot.

reply

Good choices.

reply

i would debate the fact that "hedwig and the angry inch" is a gay movie since it's more about, well, one person than actually two. But hey, it's my absolute favourite movie but it's not in my list of favourite gay movies.
anyway..


10. But I'm A Cheerleader [english]
9. Slutty Summer [english]
8. Adam and Steve [english]

....Those are mine... but then again those are the only one's I've seen!!

"Because the Fast One's Always Ride For Free"

reply

Based on your list, I would highly recommend Juste une question d'amour. It is well worth the price. If you don't understand french, the subtitles on the dvd are pretty good, and the acting and story are outstanding. I also liked another french movie - You'll Get Over It (A Cause d'un Homme) and a kind of different little movie - Dorian Blues.

reply

Hey thank you I'll definitely look those up I'm always looking for more gay themed movies as there seems to be so few... I don't mind foreign languages... I managed fine with the subtitles of Summerstorm.

"Because the Fast One's Always Ride For Free"

reply

If you like Just Une Question d'amour (just a question of love) you have to see Un amour à taire (a love to hide) it is a movie about being gay during WWII. http://imdb.com/title/tt0444518
Keep your hanky's ready.
Just came out on R2 DVD with subtitles.

reply

Hey you accidentally have seen all the good ones so far! Mysterious Skin I heard is good but I dare not see it due to the subject matter. I fear for all these silent kids and I am angry for what happen to them!

reply

These are in no particular order, but the top one would be me top pick


Happy Together (This is just a beautiful and poetic movie about a messed up relationship. It doesn't matter that the lovers are men. It's just a love story, and it's one of the best movies about a relationship.)

Mysterious Skin
Get Real
Beautiful Thing
I am a Cheerleader (just fun)
Walk on Water
Nico and Dani
Blue Gate Crossing (this one is so beautiful, but not seen or known by many)

Hi darko - I sent you a PM recommending a couple of other movies. I just re-read your list and noticed that you've seen Just a Question of Love. It was one I mentioned in the PM, but IMHO it's worth watching again !

well my # 1 just changed to "hard". brilliant movie. and it's kinda sexy too.

P.S. Be sure to check out "Boys in the Band" if you can. Directed by the brilliant William Friedkin (The Excorcist) in i want to say 70's it's a hysterical and insightful film, considered very first 'gay themed' movie.
