List: Personal decent-favourite gay movies
-
I thought I should share my imdb-list where I've collected gay films I've given at least a 6/10 rating: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls058968439/ :cool2: Hopefully someone finds it useful!
Know that I have chosen not to include great films that only have minor gay elements; where there absolutely is intimacy/relations between males, but it’s less visible and/or not central to the plot, e.g.:
Far from Heaven (2002)
Easy A (2010)
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)
Philomena (2013)
Beginners (2010)I have also skipped films where the attraction is more or less unrequited, and/or films that include characters more or less recognized as gay, but without romantic and/or intimate relations including said character - whether it’s not shown or just isn’t there at all, e.g.:
Les petits mouchoirs (2010)
My One and Only (2009)
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
V for Vendetta (2005)
Billy Elliot (2000)
Midnight Express (1978)
Ode to Billy Joe (1976)Also note that a few of them I have only watched once - some when I was just a teen - so even if you do share my "taste" in gay flicks some of the ratings might be a bit misleading or whatever lol. Most of the films should be kinda up do date though!

Thank you for sharing, not all to my taste, inevitably, but nice to see your choices.
I also agree with your exclusions mostly, because although they have gay roles, they are not central to the plot.
In fact I've just been reading an article (by a writer) which says the journalist is not really relevant to the story of Philomena. I think I agree with that
