Bad Gay Movies To Avoid & To Definitely Not Patronize
By an Amazon.com customer
Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom - Criterion CollectionSalo, or the 120 Days of Sodom - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $21.54
‘Salo' is why censorship was invented. Not only is it sheer filth, but it is completely and totally historically inaccurate.
Burnt MoneyBurnt Money
Buy new: $27.49 / Used from: $8.31
This is a well-constructed movie, but it is promoted as a gay thriller. Well, the main sexual scenes are between a man and a woman, so its promotion is a tease. A gay thriller should be a gay thriller.
EndgameEndgame
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.99
Gay sex is demeaning and degrading. Straight sex is redeeming and uplifting. Enough said!
I Dreamt Under WaterI Dreamt Under Water
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $12.24
After having a series of gay one night stands, all one has to do is find the right woman and have sex with her to be saved. Barf!
Leaving MetropolisLeaving Metropolis
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $4.58
Another gay-billed movie, but most of the sex scenes are between a married male-female couple. And the rest of the movie is not that good either.
A Different StoryA Different Story
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.14
Maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time, and one the studio heads loved, to have a gay man find love with a lesbian woman. Now it just seems insulting. This movie needs to be consigned to the dustbin of repressed homosexual history.

In case you don't know it already, you don't have much of a future if you are a drug-addicted gay prostitute. So, if you think you're going to make that your career, you might want to watch this film. If not, don't.
MandragoraMandragora
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $11.14
Life is just as awful for gay prostitutes on the streets of Prague as it is for gay prostitutes on the streets of Los Angeles. It's, also, awful watching this movie.
Cruising (Deluxe Edition)Cruising (Deluxe Edition)
Buy new: $15.49 / Used from: $11.29
A homophobic, bigoted studio head's dream of what a negative gay movie should be. Almost every nasty cliche is contained herein. Open the trashcan and throw this one in.
Twisted [VHS]Twisted [VHS]
Buy new: $28.45 / Used from: $6.98
A sleazy, demoralizing retelling of the story of ‘Oliver Twist' without the good uplifting feeling of that novel. The ending is too little, too late.
TwistTwist
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $7.87
Even more sordid than ‘Twisted.' After only ten minutes, you'll feel like you'll need a shower from all the slime. This is a movie with utterly no redeeming qualities.
The Boys in the BandThe Boys in the Band
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $16.89
Known as a classic–of what I don't know–this movie is filled with stereotypes and an underlying self-hating homosexual theme. This is another one for that repressed homosexual historical dustbin.
The WitnessesThe Witnesses
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $7.95
A middle-aged troll slobbers and drools over young men in French. There is, also, AIDS thrown in to make it even more appealing to the viewer. What's the word in French? Merde!
Hustler WhiteHustler White
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $13.99
They made this into a movie? ... The two 'Sex Life in LA' movies, also, stink.
The Toilers and the WayfarersThe Toilers and the Wayfarers
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $14.99
The young blonde is quite attractive in this movie, but the film degenerates into another hustler, drug-user flick with the guys selling themselves to unattractive old men. And one of them gets sick. Avoid!
Nico and DaniNico and Dani
Buy used from: $15.44
Two young Spanish guys, one gay, one straight. They fool around, but straight guy doesn't like to reciprocate. A somewhat older gay guy likes the younger one, but they don't get together either. At end, straight guy is flirting with a girl. Get it! Straight boy gets to get the girl, or have the opportunity to do so. Gay boy doesn't get to get anyone. I could just puke!
SugarSugar
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.69
About the only thing good about this Canadian drug-n-hustler flick is the performances given by Andre Noble, who died young, and the actress playing his mother. Other than that, it is just depressing.
Adored - Diary of a Porn StarAdored - Diary of a Porn Star
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $7.79
If you come from a good Italian family, porn star is not a respectable choice for a profession. And the courts probably won't let you adopt a child. And one might wonder why anyone would bother to make a movie about this sort of nonsense.
El MarEl Mar
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $21.98
There's everything here to make for a feel-good movie: an execution, murder, suicide, rape, disease. Even a cat gets kicked to death. What an uplifting film!
The Fluffer (Unrated Special Edition)The Fluffer (Unrated Special Edition)
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $6.92
If you're a gay porn movie assistant, and you get drafted to fellate the straight, gay-for-pay star of the films to get him ready for his scenes, you are likely going to have a problem with both self-respect and self-esteem. Go figure!
Vereda TropicalVereda Tropical
Buy new: $29.95 / Used from: $4.78
I truly wanted to like this film about writer Manuel Puig. However, his life, as portrayed here, was sad and depressing. I didn't like it. This is a Latin American entry for the dustbin of repressed homosexual history.
O FantasmaO Fantasma
Buy used from: $97.95
Nasty little movie. Stay away from this one!
Wild ReedsWild Reeds
Buy used from: $19.99
One gay boy, one straight boy, at school, they fool around, straight boy doesn't want to have sex with gay boy again–have we been here before?–this time, in end, nobody gets anybody. There is a cameo appearance of an older gay man who appears to have a drab, dreary life. Why bother?
Head OnHead On
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $9.85
Set in Australia, with the beautiful Alex Dimitriades, this could have been a terrific movie. Instead, it's just another self-hating gay movie that enjoys degrading its main character and having him end up unhappy, and it's made by a woman director who probably hates men.
Fogi is a BastardFogi is a Bastard
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $10.00
And watching a movie about a bastard isn't all that much fun.
Garcon StupideGarcon Stupide
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $13.03
Slow, dragging, talky & dreary, this movie falls into all the trap of being another sterile look at the life of a not-very-bright hustler.
QuerelleQuerelle
Buy used from: $23.86
‘Querelle' simply makes no sense. Brad Davis, who died of AIDS, deserved a better movie than this one to show his gay side.
CannibalCannibal
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $11.18
Moviemakers love the cliche of the vicious homosexual killer who preys on boys and young men. Don't feed the stereotype; don't buy these films.
The Child I Never WasThe Child I Never Was
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $5.94
Another psycho-killer-homo film. Again, don't buy.
I Am GuiltyI Am Guilty
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.49
Profiled as a gay film, it is neither gay nor any good.
You Belong to MeYou Belong to Me
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $9.77
An attempt at creepy gay horror, this movie just sucks.
Glue (Sub Dol)Glue (Sub Dol)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $14.96
Meandering, nihilistic Patagonian tale of two boys and a girl that tries to lure viewers with hints of boy sex and bisexuality. Nothing happens--best to skip this one.
The LongingThe Longing
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $7.33
Bad, bad movie from Brazil.
PartnersPartners
Buy new: $9.95 / Used from: $3.91
An embarrassment all around.
Before I ForgetBefore I Forget
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $11.10
He's old; he used to be a hustler; he's poor; he has AIDS. Why don't we just forget this movie.
Fox and His FriendsFox and His Friends
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $4.99
No-one excelled at the self-hating homosexual movie--and in real life, too--more than Fassbinder. He plays the character, Fox, he denigrates and humiliates. Anyone who has viewed his films will not be surprised that Fassbinder finally killed himself.
Full SpeedFull Speed
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $9.25
Rambling, drifting, leftist, pointless, this movie teases with gay opportunities, but fails to deliver on them. Skip it!
In a Glass CageIn a Glass Cage
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $8.99
This movie is sick and not in an interesting way. You don't want to watch it.
To Play or To DieTo Play or To Die
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $9.00
If you think that there is going to be a real story here, or that there will be some sort of erotic moment, you are going to be disappointed. This is a pointless fifty minutes of film.
