Gay films Pic'n'mix - A few more to ponder over
Philadelphia [DVD] [1994]Philadelphia [DVD] [1994]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.98
A "worthy" film from Hollywood - but for me, a lack of any real warmth between Tom Hanks & Antonio Banderas lets it down.
Gods And Monsters [DVD] [1999]Gods And Monsters [DVD] [1999]
Buy used from: £5.75
Not so much a gay film, more of a film about a gay man. Ian McKellan in one of his finest roles.
Eating Out [DVD] [2004]Eating Out [DVD] [2004]

Offbeat and slightly bizarre but has a wonderful scene at the end.

Buy used from: £55.00
What can I say - my first ever gay film, seen at a time when I was just confronting my own sexuality. It seems dated (eighties!) and a little tame now though.
In & Out [DVD] [1998]In & Out [DVD] [1998]
Buy used from: £8.99
Another Hollywood attempt at making a gay "cross-over" film. It's harmless, quite funny and thoroughly watchable.
