My favorite movie so far is "Shelter". The story, music, scenery, cast... It's a whole package... If you haven't seen it already, I highly recommend it.... Some of the others I enjoyed watching are:
* A Beautiful Thing
* Bent
* Boy Culture
* Latter Days
* Brokeback Mountain
* Transamerica
* Prayers for Bobby
* Eating out and the sequels
* Mysterious Skin
* Big Eden
* Trick
* Juste une Question d'Amour (Just a Question of Love)
* Milk
What is your favorite gay themed movie? Any recommendations?

If you are open to foreign flicks, two recent movies I saw with this theme that I liked were Plata Quemada (Burnt Money), and Glue. The first is an A-movie and has issues of repression of homosexual tendencies tied to a bigger story. The second is an independent film that is strictly about coming of age and bein gay in a small town in the middle of nowhere (Patagonia).

Seen both, they were fantastic! Another good one from Latin America is "No se lo digas a nadie," aka "Don't Tell Anyone."

Quoting mt99 (Reply 2): Ang Lee's "The Wedding Banquet"
Quoting chepos (Reply 8): I really liked TransAmerica
I think my all-time favourite is "Happy Together" (Hong Kong 1997), story of two guys from pre-handover Hong Kong, visiting Argentina hoping to renew their ailing relationship.

One of my favourites also - a very good film, partly because it doesn't really make any issues about the whole gay thing, no-one has HIV and there is no slutty sex. Possibly one of the best gay romances I've ever seen on screen.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of my favourite actors, and this was an amazing film, though the subject matter is not for all tastes. He's also exceptional in Brick and (500) Days of Summer - both worth checking out, especially the latter.
Great performance from Sean Penn and a very good movie indeed
I would also say that Priscilla - Queen of the Desert, an Australian movie from 1994, is also an exceptional gay movie that is fun, and very Australian
I do quite enjoy a spot of flying - more so when it's not in Economy!
I can just hear the accent! One of my favorite lines ever: "Well, I guess you didn't think I was going to make it!"
Not to hijack the thread, but I think you once mentioned that you went to Boston U.? I did as well, just wondering if maybe we were there at the same time ('94-'98 for me).

38 richm: I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Bruno! Great movie imo if you're not easily offended! Definitely one of my favourite in recent years.
39 oa260: ''Maurice'' was also a good movie . The movie follows Maurice (James Wilby) down his road of self-discovery; from his embarrassing teen years to Cambr
40 Mudboy: Bruno The Bird Cage Seriously Dude, stop dreaming!! I will say that "Interview with a Vampire", was a little gay themed.
41 UAL747: That movie turns me on in a weird way, but I like it. Top Gun was very homoerotic. I remember when I was younger, during the Laser Disc times, playin
