Two of my favourite Almodovar films are contained herein: the incredibly kinky 'Matador' & the haunting portrait of obsession, 'Law of Desire.'

Sad, disturbing & uncompromising, Gregg Araki has made the movie here that he was always capable of making. There are no easy answers in this film; it just reveals the wounds of life.

Jake Gyllenhaal & Heath Ledger bring Annie Proulx' heartbreaking, tragic tale of two men in love set against the grandeur of the American West to life. This movie stays with you long after you have viewed it.

Gay detective Donald Strachey, played by gay actor Chad Allen, investigates threats against a gay activist and nefarious goings-on in the Catholic church.

The eagerly awaited third installment of the Strachey mystery series. This time there are the corrupt dealings of land developers to tend to.

A good reminder that though gays in the West still have a long way to go in terms of obtaining full human rights, there are places in the world that are far worse. Only complaint on this film is that it should have been longer. Also, see 'I Exist' about Muslim gays in America.

Hilary Swank won the Oscar for Best Actress for her portrayal of Brandon Teena, the popular new boy in town. Only Brandon has a secret.

Openly gay English actor Rupert Everett narrates this film account of the Nazi persecution of homosexuals during the days of the Third Reich.

Even more relevant with the release of the feature film 'Milk.' This documentary encompasses the life and political career of assassinated gay San Francisco supervisor Harvey Milk.

I rather enjoyed this movie. The three main male characters are intelligent, likeable and good-looking. Due to an unexpected event, they are forced to make serious choices about their own lives.

This movie is a good introduction to the fight for gay marriage and full civil & human rights in this country. Also, see 'Freedom to Marry' with Margaret Cho.

A young man gets in over his head in the gay dance party circuit and has to decide if he's going to come to terms with his own life.

This movie caused quite the ruckus in its day, and the two actors claimed it ruined their careers. It was one of the first movies to portray a sympathetic portrait of a gay married man and to show that not all gays ended up unhappy. Kate Jackson deserves a debt of gratitude from gays for playing a wife who eventually tries to be understanding about what is happening to her marriage.

A horrific event tears people apart and leaves them yearning for justice.

Featuring the irrepresible RuPaul, this film covers the 10th Annual Wigstock Festival in New York City. And see 'Paris is Burning' in which Hispanic and black drag queens strut their stuff at drag balls in New York City.

No actor has ever been sexier or more menacing than Hart Bochner in 'Apartment Zero.' Colin Firth and he turn in tour-de-force performances. The film is dark & disturbing, and I love it.

Director Rob Williams makes some of the more creative gay films out today that vary from the typical fare. In this one, two straight men suddenly become attracted to each other, but why?

A clash of wills and attitudes between two very different men, one of whom may have ruined the other's life.

Finally, for something completely different, a gay horror B-movie, which is a bit of a schlock-fest. If you take it in terms of that 1950's B-movie genre, albeit with nudity and hot sex, it works. Besides, Matthew Montgomery looks pretty good unclothed.
