1.Common Ground (2000) starring: Erik Knudsen, Brittany Murphy, Jason Priestley, Margot Kidder, Helen Shaver directed by: Donna Deitch January 29, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.41
The stories are timeless and still relevant, even though one takes place in 1954, one in 1974, and the last in 2000. It is a similar format to "If These Walls Could Talk 2" in which there are three stories from three different generations. The 1954 sequence hits home, in spite of a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy within the armed services, because even now, a military career can still be irreparably damaged if a soldier or officer is outed. Gay youths can relate to the 1974 story, seeing minimal progress from 1974 to the present with the way GLBT young people are treated by their peers. All one has to do is watch "The Matthew Shepard Story" or "Boys Don't Cry" to witness recent cruelty against GLBT youth. The three stories could have easily been made into full-length movies. I ...

2.Philadelphia starring: Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Roberta Maxwell, Buzz Kilman, Karen Finley directed by: Jonathan Demme February 14, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This is, by far, one of the best movies. The story is moving, and will have you in tears multiple times. Tom truelly shines, and is one of the few actors that you no longer see as a person, but as their character. Very emersed. This will also question your thoughts and beliefs, and possibly make you reconsider the next time youre about to make a snap judgement.

3.Gia (Unrated Edition) starring: Angelina Jolie, Faye Dunaway, Elizabeth Mitchell, Mercedes Ruehl, Eric Michael Cole directed by: Michael Cristofer April 11, 2000

4.M Butterfly starring: Jeremy Irons, John Lone, Barbara Sukowa, Ian Richardson, Annabel Leventon directed by: David Cronenberg November 10, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.20
If you're looking for a Book turned into a movie--this is it but in a very obscure fashion. This movie takes the stereotypes that Long writes about in his short novel and basically flips them around here. Here you have the American man, but it is he that is hopelessly inlove with the Asian "woman" (using that term lightly). She is the one that is full of decite and ends up betraying him. At the end, he has to realize that he, not only was abdoned and betrayed, but it was by a man. This movie had great twists and turns and also and was definetly an attention keeper.

5.Nowhere starring: James Duval, Rachel True, Nathan Bexton, Chiara Mastroianni, Debi Mazar directed by: Gregg Araki June 30, 1998

Amazon says I purchased this movie in '98! I dont remember ever owning or watching it! I gave it 5 stars just for kicks!

6.Boys in the Band starring: Kenneth Nelson, Peter White, Leonard Frey, Cliff Gorman, Frederick Combs directed by: William Friedkin December 06, 1980
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.99
Let there be general rejoicing through the land at the DVD release of this landmark film! BOYS IN THE BAND is both brilliant, bitingly funny filmmaking and a penetrating examination of the (still) dysfunctional ways gay men cope with basic conflicts imposed by American society. Mart Crowley penned more memorable lines than any three Bette Davis films and Friedkin established a sense of place and mood in his main character's tony 1968 Manhattan apartment that is just uncanny. By the time LOOK OF LOVE plays, I couldn't tear myself away. My upper lip involuntarily curls with contempt at the self-deception of gays who insist that we've come so far as to make BOYS IN THE BAND a tired irrelevancy. Consider the time elapsed between the making of this film and BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. The issues raised have ... Read More

7.Female Perversions starring: Tilda Swinton, Amy Madigan, Karen Sillas, Frances Fisher, Clancy Brown directed by: Susan Streitfeld September 08, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $8.77
I watched this movie on the Logo channel. They may have taken some parts out I don't know. Or let me say I hope they took some parts out. If this was the entire contents of the movie they need to add some parts in. It starts out ok with this cute girl who's a lawyer and other nice looking girls in that same building. Almost immediately she starts having hallucinations about people who aren't real that sneak up behind her and choke her, etc.. Ok it's getting better I'm thinking. But it never gets past that point. It just gets bogged down in a lot of symbolism that doesn't mean anything (at least to me). You've got the kleptomaniac sister who steals for sexual thrills. The little boy who carves words into his skin. The model / stipper. ... Read More

8.Leather Boys starring: Rita Tushingham, Colin Campbell, Dudley Sutton, Gladys Henson, Avice Landone directed by: Sidney J. Furie June 27, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $18.95
This British New Wave film is in the social comment style of A Taste of Honey and A Kind of Loving and it is one of the best of these films. The relationship between the two mates in the story has been misunderstood since gay liberation and so therefore has the film. The film is about the disillusionment of youth in the modern world. The story has two young mates enjoying the freedom of the roads on their motorbikes while facing having to grow up in the modern adult world. One of them gets married and finds himself entangled in the responsibilities of marriage, while the other (Dudley Sutton's character) is determined to avoid this fate and keep his motorbike and the freedom of the roads, so he has nothing to do with girls. However at the end of the film, when the two mates finally part to go their separate ways, Dudley ... Read More

9.When Night Is Falling starring: Pascale Bussières, Rachael Crawford, Henry Czerny, David Fox, Don McKellar directed by: Patricia Rozema June 17, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.39
I think this is a good movie played very well and as noted by other reviewers great cinematography and some humor but it has some minuspoints as well. It misses drama. With this I don't mean sentimentality but rather the absence of intensity in the plot, it is more of a sketch than a fully colored, worked out storyline and I somehow felt that the movie rushes linearly to a predictable but rather unconvincing end without enough intensity, surprises or twists. As a viewer I just did not get the feeling that the choice (between 'the love she can't forget and the desire she can't resist') for Camille was a difficult one to make. This has much to do with her boyfriend being just a flat character, who is not very present in the movie. Also the conservative surroundings are altogether not worked out very well: we just see her boyfriend and some members ... Read More

10.Reflections in a Golden Eye starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, Brian Keith, Julie Harris, Zorro David directed by: John Huston September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.19
I first saw this on VHS many years ago and was ready to see it again right away because I thought I'd missed the point. I've seen it many time since. It is dark and yet funny since almost everyone in it has some bizarre behavior at some point. The acting is top notch, though I wasn't crazy about the ending. I would at least see it once if you haven't already. According to Montgomery Clift's biographer, Clift was set to play the role of Major Pemberton but ended up having a heart attack and dying before the filming could begin. Liz Taylor and he were very close friends. Marlon Brando reluctantly but eventually took the role. And does a great job! Still, I would've loved to see Monty play this part.
