- DirectorJohn PalmerStarsAndre NobleMarnie McPhailHaylee WanstallTroubled suburban teen Cliff hooks up with a hustler from the streets of Toronto's gay ghetto.Deranged, hilarious, super raw and my heart was left kind of hurting after it was done. It's that rare gem that you find and show to your friends again and again and again.
- DirectorKyle KallgrenStarsKyle KallgrenMichael KallgrenI feel there is some sort of CONSPIRACY because I can't add any of Bruce LaBruce's films onto my watchlist no matter which way I try. Also check out: Hustler White, No Skin off my Ass and Super 8½.
- DirectorJohn SchlesingerStarsDustin HoffmanJon VoightSylvia MilesA naive hustler travels from Texas to New York City to seek personal fortune, finding a new friend in the process.
- DirectorAndrew HaighStarsTom CullenChris NewJonathan RaceAfter a drunken house party with his straight mates, Russell heads out to a gay club. Just before closing time he picks up Glen but what's expected to be just a one-night stand becomes something else, something special.Slice-of-life drama. Really natural performances and dialogue. Complex and subtle.
- DirectorJohn WatersStarsLiz RenayMink StoleSusan LoweA neurotic society woman murders her husband with her maid's help; on the lam, they escape to Mortville, a homeless community ruled by a fascist queen.UNDER RATED. But most of the films on my list are. A feral group of lesbians take down their corrupt fascist queen, it's a fairy tale!
- DirectorMarcel GislerStarsFrédéric AndrauVincent BranchetUrs Peter HalterFifteen-year-old Beni falls in love with Fögi, a singer in a Rock band. As Fögi seduces him, Beni is willing to follow him where ever he takes him. But Fögi is a drug addict and pulls Beni deeper and deeper into his addiction.Really powerful, sexy film.

- DirectorJamie BabbitStarsNatasha LyonneClea DuVallMichelle WilliamsA naive teenager is sent to rehab camp when her straitlaced parents and friends suspect her of being a lesbian.Super cute teen romantic comedy that is somehow awesome. I've showed it to many of a straighty-one-eighty and they all loved it, just because it's an incredibly good natured and entertaining film.
- DirectorGregg ArakiStarsJames DuvalRoko BelicSusan BehshidSix queer teenagers struggle to get along with each other and with life in the face of varying obstacles.A group of teenagers growing up in the early 90s, dealing with their sexuality, friendships e.t.c. Brutal and honest.
- DirectorRainer Werner FassbinderStarsBrad DavisFranco NeroJeanne MoreauA handsome sailor is drawn into a vortex of sibling rivalry, murder, and explosive sexuality.This is a style of cinema that I don't think will ever come again. The set, narrative, music, lightning all read out as if it's set on stage. There's a complete disconnection from reality that gives it this fantastic dream quality throughout the whole film. It's a *beep* weird movie.
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsJames StewartJohn DallFarley GrangerTwo men try to convince themselves they've committed the perfect murder by hosting a dinner party after strangling a former classmate to death.Early Hitchcock film. Murder mystery with James Stewart. You'll need to look between the lines and history of the piece to see that it is queer as *beep*. But it is.

- DirectorOlga StolpovskajaDmitriy TroitskiyStarsDamir BadmaevLyubov TolkalinaEvgeniy KoryakovskiyOn their first anniversary, Vera comes home to discover her boyfriend Tim in bed with another man.I usually loathe romantic comedies, but this Moscow film about an eccentric bisexual man and his two lovers is dark and weird enough to get away with it for me. A gay positive story in Russian is so amazing.
- DirectorMartin WalzStarsUdo SamelPeter LohmeyerIris BerbenThe plot takes place in New York, and in the present. In a Hotel called "Quicky" a professor blackmails a student of his into having sex with him. But when the professor puts on a condom, the carnivorous condom bites off his penis and disappears.
