I haven't seen too much of his work, but I did enjoy his Edward II. I have a copy of his book, Dancing Ledge, and appreciate that too. I don't know if I've been exposed to enough of his work to qualify as a fan, but he's certainly of interest to me.

I find some of his work hard going, but it's always fascinating, unique and challenging. My favourite of those I've seen is 'The Last of England', although many consider 'War Requiem' his best - unfortunately I've not seen it yet. I've seen many interviews with him and some of his home movies when they were screened on tv and think he was an extraordinary man - his whole attitude to work, life, art, people, the way he chose to live was completely his own. It's a very hard feat pull off in the modern world and he came across as a truly generous spirit. His writing was also very beautiful - I challenge anyone to read 'Smiling in Slow Motion', his diaries during the last 3 years of his life, and not be moved beyond tears by the extraordinary relationship he had with his partner and the courage with which he bore his illness.

Here's a couple of thoughts.  Amazon.com 'Used' prices are sometimes best, but if it's a popular gay release they're nothing special.  Plus, you gotta pay a $2.59 shipping fee.

DeepDiscountDVD.com is very often best on price (+ no shipping fee) but receipt time pretty darn slow.

But don't forget to check out DVDPacific.com----lotta times their prices somewhat lower than DeepD----but they do have small shipping fee of $1.58 (but I find they get them to you very quickly, a real plus to me).

But, Overall, make sure you check out:  DVDPriceSearch.com for pretty much across-the-board pricing.  Plus they've got a great power-search setup and a good check for coupons/specials.

Happy Hunting / Happy Buying

Gone nuts ordering new movies? Lol. How I can relate to that!   :P

I, too, bought Monster recently and thought it was really good. Charlize Theron truly is amazing in it! 
Also quite cute is the British movie My Summer of Love about a lower class girl who falls in love with a girl from a rich family.  :)

I just saw Fremde Haut (international title: Unveiled), a very touching movie about Fariba, a young woman from Iran who seeks asylum in Germany after being prosecuted for having a relationship with a woman in her country. German authorities deny her the right to permanent residence, but she finds a way to stay by adopting the identity of a male compatriot who has committed suicide. Living as a man in the cramped quarters of an asylum-seekers’ hostel, she has a hard time not being unmasked. To earn enough money for a new passport she illegally takes on a job in a Sauerkraut factory where she falls in love with single mother Anne, a coworker. Lead actress Jasmin Tabatabai (who is also a well known musician in Germany) was actually born in Iran, and she does a terrific job as Fariba. Her love interest is played by Anneke Kim Sarnau who was the German woman in The Constant Gardener. She, too is very good and there are certainly erotic sparks flying between the two of them. Recommended!
