I've bought the dvd at the airport London Heathrow before I returned from the Euro Brokie meeting in September and just now watched it for the first time. I think it's fantastic, and the kissing scene between Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna must be one of the sexiest things ever put to film!

I agree it's very hot . . . for me the hottest, most erotic screen kiss between guys (in the movies I've seen thusfar) is in Steam: The Turkish Bath (Hamam). Ironically, the couple is seen for just a few seconds and it is the only moment in the film showing physical intimacy. Nevertheless, for me, it's incredibly powerful. I've often wondered if it's so effective because it is so short, i.e., less is more....
Anybody got other nominees?

So many movies! But that's a good thing. :)
dot-matrix, I'm sorry someone was so mean to you at the imdb board. I post there only a tiny bit. I have had a few nasty responses at boards. It's easy for people to hide behind and be mean through an anonymous computer name it seems.
Impish, I agree with what you said about the relationship between Henry and Pike. I certainly would have liked to see that explored a little bit more in the movie. But like you I am just so grateful for such a feel good happy ending that at this point I don't care. Need more happy endings like this. I have recommended this movie to friends.
I have to admit that I am hopelessly devoted to Amazon. I only get U.S. mail at my PO Box and they always will ship to me there. I get most of my books and music from them also.

I saw "Shortbus" last night, as I reported in the Anything Goes forum.
This is John Cameron Mitchell's second movie; his first was "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." He's done it again: come up with a brilliant movie that is completely different than anything you have seen before.
As you may have heard, this movie contains explicit, non-simulated sex; in fact, the opening sequence includes a guy giving himself a blow job and this is just one of several sex scenes in the opening. Some may want to walk out after the first 10 minutes, but don't do it. Hang in there through to the end.
How did Mitchell make a movie about the role of sex in people's lives that is also heart-warming? I was crying at the end, from joy.
IMHO, the best movie of 2006. DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE

Cool, I will see about getting it today.
I watched Food of Love over the weekend. I would recomend that also, but it is a strange movie. In the begining I feel sorry for all the characters and at the end they are all getting on my nerves.

One of my favorite movies is by Sally Potter and it is called Orlando. It is from a novel by Virginia Woolf about a boy growing up in Elizabethan England who actually lives until modern times, changing into a woman about halfway through the story. Not exactly a gay-themed movie but more of a transgender one. It stars Tilda Swinton and Billy Zane is in it too. Also Quentin Crisp plays Elizabeth I.
