hi....it's been awhile since i've posted to this thread.....

i was listening to a show called "film week" on a national public radio station that originates from los angeles......not far from where i live....this year marks the 25th anniversary of outfest......this year over 250 gay, lesbian, bi and transgender films are being exhibited.....what i found interesting was that the interviewer asked the organizers of this year's festival which "gay" themed films were pivotal in gaining a wider general public recognition and acceptance of these movies....i thought i'd share some of the films mentioned during the interview...some of these i'm familiar with, others i'm not......those films are...

'mala noche'.........1985
'parting glances'....1986
'paris is burning' (documentary)....1990


included in this year's festival are some films that i find particularly interesting and hope to see...

'save me'....A sex and drug addicted young man is forced into a Christian-run ministry in an attempt to cure him of his "gay affliction", where instead he is faced with the truth in his heart and spirit.

'saving marriage'.....A documentary on a landmark court decision in Massachusetts allows gay people in that state to marry - forcing activists, legislators, and ordinary people to reconsider how they view same-sex relationships.

'the believers'....A documentary on the world's first transgender choir.
 
i saw the movie "velvet goldmine" it was hot the kissing scenes between ewan and jonathan.:drool:
 
I just saw Torch Song Trilogy OMG was that a GOOD movie. Really cute and sweet and of course SAD. It was like 3 am you shouldnt cry at 3am.

i've only seen one film in a theater that's of interest to this thread...

[B]Gyllenhaal Struggled with "Painful" Gay Scenes[/B]
Donnie Darko star Jake Gyllenhaal was left in pain after shooting gay love scenes with Heath Ledger in new movie Brokeback Mountain. The pair play cowboys who fall in love in the western - and Gyllenhaal found the shoot particularly punishing. He says, "Heath almost broke my nose in (a kissing) scene. He grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me. And then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him. And we were doing take after take after take. I got the sh#t beat out of me. We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn't hurting as badly as I did after that one." :lol:

I have yet to see it but i hear it's worth going for the relationship between Alexander (Colin) and Hesphesation ( Jared) and theres some other boy on boy action. :eyebrows:

But I intial wanted to pop in and give ya a heads up on the movie 'A Home at the End of the World' with Colin Farrell and Robin Wright Penn.

It's an adorable film about a love triangle between best friends and a older woman. It's kinda a Bi/Gay/everything film. :nod:

Thought i'd let u know. ;)
 
Ah Latter Days how I love that movie, such a sweet story. Has anyone seen Alexander yet? I was wondering if it was worth spending money to go see it in the theather?
