David - I'm glad you enjoyed Latter Days. I just watched it a couple of weeks ago, and I found the characters to be extremely compelling - you know - BBM-style compelling. I know you shouldn't really compare the two because LD is just not technically or artistically in the same league as BBM (IMO-only, of course). Nevertheless, I'm finding that Aaron and Christian have taken up residence in my psyche in much the same way as Jack and Ennis did. Weird, huh? I like the optimistic ending. It leaves me with a sense of hope and that maybe all can be right with the world. I usually don't put much stock in the angel/miracle/serendipity plot devices because I tend to be too cynical.
That said, I've got a master list of films I intend to work my way through, generated largely thru this thread, although it's probably an impossible task for this lifetime. 'Lilies' is currently at home...

I know these films were from 2004, but I was just wondering if any of you have seen any of them, and if so how were they? I am wondering if they are on DVD to rent. Here's the link to the page:

Unfortunatley, I haven't seen any of them. I know, take away my gay card now... :laugh:
Lynne:
Arad,
I haven't seen any of these either. My suggestion is to send a link to this thread to Impish (Bill) and/or Jude and Shuggy to see if they have opinions.
Bill has a thread in 'Anything Goes' about other G/L films of note and I know that he has an extensive collection. Many participate in that thread with some regularity. Good luck, and let us know what you find out!

Hey guys,
Lynne directed me here. Thanks lynne! Seems you guys might be the ones to ask.
I know these films were from 2004, but I was just wondering if any of you have seen any of them, and if so how were they? A couple look really good. I am wondering if they are on DVD to rent. Here's the link to the page:
