Dorian Blues (2004)
A winner
This one is a real winner. Enjoyable enough to make me watch it twice in the same day. An actual comedy that made me laugh. Very well-written. Exceptionally cast and acted. This is a feel good movie.. I have no equivalent term for chick flick for a gay guy flick that isn't remotely unacceptable...but this is one of those. I watched this with a group of straight friends who loved it as much as me, laughed as hard as me and thought it was well worth the time, the popcorn and beer. I would love to see more films with this much thought about a gay subject with just as much realism as comedy. If you want to spend a little bit of an hour and half laughing your butt off... load this one up, bring in your friends... and just be prepared to have a dang good time.
Prayers for Bobby (2009)
This is one to watch
I will admit. I refrained from watching this one for quite some time just by reading it's synopsis. I'd had enough of listening to hate propaganda about gays from the right wing and the evangelicals, and I just didn't want to deal with anymore hate. But someone said.. Sigourney decimates this film. You need to see it just for her. So I gave it a chance. Whoa... was I surprised. The power of this film is beyond description. You do not walk away from this, untouched or unfeeling. I hid in my room because I couldn't stop crying. It's one of those I think...once you watch it...you're gonna go back and do it again and again. It really is top notch!!
C.R.A.Z.Y. (2005)
a repeater!
No hesitation on this one. This is a gem; a jewel. A magnificent piece of storytelling. I will run out of adjectives trying to convince you to load this one up and watch it. It spans a lifetime of a young gay man; the trial and tribulations of growing up in eras where homosexuality is not accepted, and how he tries to conform to fit in. But that isn't the only story here. This is the story of an entire family. Each person individual and unique, and parents who try to deal with each one of their child's personalities. This is a story drawn with such meticulous care and precision, you will be amazed. There are scenes that will stand out in your mind as prominent as with any classical movie... because they depict something extraordinary in someone's life. Compliments to everyone involved. This is a movie I will definitely watch once every year.. You should too.
