![]() | Bad Education (Original Uncut NC-17 Edition)
Buy used from: $3.00 The best gay-oriented Almodovar film since his masterpiece 'Law of Desire.' If I had expanded the essential list beyond twelve, this movie would have been on it. By the way, never waste your money on R-Rated; always buy the Unrated version of a film.

![]() | Brokeback Mountain (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $4.93 One of the most tragic, saddest and most beautiful movies that I have ever seen. It will break your heart and make you a better person for it. It was clearly the best film of the year, and if the Academy had not succumbed to homophobia and liberal political correctness, it would have won the Oscar for Best Picture.
|

![]() | The Trip
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $7.72 A terrific and heartfelt trip through the lives of two young men through the years. You come to know them and like them. The bright and beautiful Jill St. John plays the mother of one of the boys.

Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $4.62 A ill man plans his final party. Though sad, it's not really a film about death; it's about life, and it's ultimately uplifting. Eric Roberts and Gregory Harrison turn in fine performances.
|
![]() | Third Man Out
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $9.74 One of the other characters makes a reference to gay detective Donald Strachey's 'Brooks Brothers husband.' The fact that he clearly loves his 'Brooks Brother husband,' and is loved back, is one of the best things about this mystery film.

Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $8.87 Director Ron Oliver succeeds at making a modern day gay Nick & Nora Charles mystery movie.

|
![]() | Torch Song Trilogy
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $10.97 Though Harvey Fierstein is a whole lot of a bit much, this groundbreaking movie is warm and touching. Of particular note is the strong, balanced performance of Anne Bancroft and the fine jobs done by Matthew Broderick and Brian Kerwin.

|
![]() | You'll Get Over It
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $13.99 Well, actually, he doesn't, get over it, that is. A French coming-out-and-coming-of-age drama. For a French musical twist of a young man finding unexpected love, watch 'Chanson D'Amour/Love Songs.'
|
![]() | Green Plaid Shirt
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $8.36 Uneven and made on a shoestring budget, this film still has some very good moments that feel very real and true to life. One can truly sympathize with the main character, and even with his former partner at the end.
|
![]() | Big Eden
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $7.98 In many ways, a gay Northwoods fantasy of how the world should be. The gays in this film are accepted, supported and encouraged by those around them.
|
![]() | All Over the Guy
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $4.00 A charming little, gay crowd pleaser. One can totally emphathize with Eli's crush on the handsome, troubled Tom. What makes this work is that we can see how they could be good for each other and what each could see in the other one.
|
![]() | My Beautiful Laundrette
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $5.03 The best film of a Hanif Kureishi work ever. This terrific move features a brilliant performance by Daniel Day Lewis. Definitely a must see.

|
![]() | The Opposite of Sex
Buy new: $15.49 / Used from: $13.25 Director Don Roos does a great job of interweaving the lives of a group of people, gay and straight. Lisa Kudrow is particularly effective, and Christina Ricci is a hoot.
|
![]() | Prick Up Your Ears
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $3.45 Okay, Joe Orton was not really genial, but is his life ever-so-much fun to watch. Not only that, Vanessa Redgrave is wicked in this film.

|
![]() | The Object of My Affection
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $4.20 Better in its execution than the premise might indicate. Gay British actor Nigel Hawthorne has one of the wisest lines in any movie ever, 'Don't live your life in such a way so as to be left alone in the middle of it.'
|
![]() | Shelter
Buy new: $18.99 / Used from: $14.56 Not since 'The Broken Hearts Club' and 'The Trip' have I loved a gay movie as much as I loved 'Shelter.' More than a movie about two surfers who discover their feelings for each other, this is a movie about family, responsibility, self-respect, and love, as well. It's definitely a movie to buy and add to your DVD collection.
|
![]() | Yossi & Jagger
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $11.52 This movie deserves all the positive accolades it's received in Amazon reviews. Ohad Knoller, as Yossi, and Yehuda Levi, as Jagger, are ever so sexy and appealing. The movie itself is touching and memorable.
|
![]() | Rock Haven

|
![]() | Long-Term Relationship (Widescreen)
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $14.53 This film approaches gay and family relationships from a different angle than many do. You find yourself hoping that the main characters will find a way to overcome their obstacles. In light of our current battles for full equality, I particularly liked the ending. The lead actors, also, star in Rob Williams' 'Back Soon.'
|
![]() | Almost Normal
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $10.05 Filmed in Nebraska, this earnest flick gives a gay twist to the 'Back to the Future' theme. It, also, makes an argument for tolerance and acceptance of people of all 'normal' sexual persuasions.
|
![]() | Prom Queen
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $7.00 A student fights for his right to take the date of his choice to his prom. This film is based on a true story, and it is admirable that the young man had the courage to take his case to a Canadian court.

![]() | Paternal Instinct
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $2.75 Honest, frank, at times graphic, and quite inspiring, this documentary chronicles the journey of two gay men to fatherhood with a Wiccan witch as the surrogate mother of their children. Yes, a Wiccan witch. For a lesbian mirror-image of this story, you can view 'Making Grace.'
|
![]() | Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $14.65 To my taste, better than its predecessor. This film has cute guys, frank and funny humour and, in its own risque way, a positive, upbeat underlying message. The film is worth viewing for the artist modeling and final ex-gay meeting scenes alone.
|
![]() | 200 American
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $16.14 Though the main character was a hustler, this flick was different, and better, than I expected. With scarcely any budget, but with good looking actors, Richard LeMay has made a decent independent film.
