It is an excellent movie from Great Britain about a high school teen dealing with his homosexuality and his coming out to his friends and family. Ben Silverstone and Brad Gorton star in it and both give excellent performances. I think the movie was made in 2000. If you haven't seen it, you should! :)

I haven't ever heard of it! Sounds very good.
Another great film dealing with homosexuality and an inter-racial relationship (from the UK) ... "My Beautiful Laundrette"
Love it!
TOoP/Bruce:
Here is a list with some of my other favorite movies with quotes from each. It is not a complete favorites list, nor is it in any particular order:
North by Northwest –
Roger Thornhill: The moment I meet an attractive woman, I have to start pretending I have no desire to make love to her.
Eve Kendall: What makes you think you have to conceal it?
Roger Thornhill: She might find the idea objectionable.
Eve Kendall: Then again, she might not.
Rebecca –
Maxim de Winter: You thought I loved Rebecca?
Vertigo -
Madeleine: Here I was born, and there I died. It was only a moment for you; you took no notice.
Psycho
Norman Bates: She just goes a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you?
Marion Crane: Yes. Sometimes just one time can be enough.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang –
Perry: Did your dad love you?
Harry: Only when I dressed up like a beer bottle, how about you?
Perry: Well, he used to beat me in Morse code, so it's possible, but he never said the words.
The Pillow Book
Nagiko: When God made the first clay model of a human being, He painted in the eyes... the lips... and the sex. And then He painted in each person's name lest the person should ever forget it. If God approved of His creation, He brought the painted clay model into life by signing His own name.
...
Nagiko: You've been reading my diary?
The Husband: Isn't that why people keep diaries? To be read by someone else? Otherwise why keep them?
Nagiko: To know about themselves.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Li Mu Bai: I would rather be a ghost drifting by your side as a condemned soul than enter heaven without you... because of your love, I will never be a lonely spirit
Batman Returns
Selina Kyle: A kiss under the mistle toe... a mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it.
Bruce Wayne: But a kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it.
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
Ernst Stavro Blofeld: Now, if you're very, very nice to me. I could make you my Countess.
Tracy: But I'm already a Countess.
Ernst Stavro Blofeld: Whereas if you displease me, I can promise you a very *different* estate.
....
Tracy:
Thy dawn! O master of the world! Thy dawn!
For thee, the sunlight creeps across the lawn.
For thee, the ships are drawn down to the waves.
For thee, the markets throng with myriad slaves.
For thee, the hammer on the anvil rings.
For thee, the poet of beguilement sings...
Maurice
Maurice Hall: I'm in love with Alec Scudder.
Clive Durham: What a grotesque announcement.
Maurice Hall: [ironically] Most grotesque. But I felt I should tell you.
Mysterious Skin
Neil: As we sat there listening to the carolers, I wanted to tell Brian that it was over now and that everything would be okay. But that was a lie, plus I couldn't speak anyway. I wish there was some way to go back and undo the past. But there wasn't. There was nothing we could do. So I just stayed silent and tried to telepathically communicate how sorry I was about what happened. And I thought of all the grief and suffering and fucked up stuff in the world, and it made me want to escape. I wished with all my heart we could just leave this world behind. Rise like two angels in the night and magically disappear.
Edward Scissorhands
Peg Boggs: The light concealing cream goes on first. Then you blend, and blend, and blend. Blending is the secret.

--- Quote from: vkm91941 on June 06, 2006, 07:53:23 pm ---directed by Lasse Hallström, Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman...Good choice Brandon..really good under-rated film. I think alot of folks gave it a pass because J-Lo's in it but she's good and the little girl Becca Gardner steals the whole damn thing ;)
--- End quote ---
I just got around to watching this. Yet another movie about Wyoming, filmed in Alberta! Robert Redford is great as an older Ennis and has a very nice looking beard.
Yes, it's got Jennifer Lopez but it's also got Morgan Freeman and a very personable bear.
