Mine would be:
1. Long Time Companion: Because the sense of community it showed inspired me to accept myself. 16 years later I finally found Bettermost.
2. Brokeback Mountain: Because it showed this thing could hapen to regular, everyday, poor, uneducated people outside of a major city, and over a long period that most of us have lived thru.
3. Latter Days: Because it is a charming tale and has hot actors and a sense of hope.
4. Priscilla, Queen of the Desert: Because it is just funny as hell.
5. Capote: All my life people called me Truman Capote, and it would make me mad and finally one day I asked one of them if they knew who he was, nope, not a clue, it was just something they said. Now them fuckers can see this movie and see what a brave little faggot he was, and how human he was and the price he paid to get that story.
6.The Color Purple: Because it contains a line, I think it goes: "Miss Shug is a flower and I am a bee". But mostly, like Brokeback, it depicts same sex lonve betwixt disenfranchised Afraican American women in the south in earlier times.
7. The Sum of Us: Because it show what it could be like if we had cool parents.
8. Jeffery: Because it has the line "Who is Martha Stewart?" There needs to be more people like that.
9. A Beautiful Thing: Because in the end everyone is dancing.
10. Sordid Lives: When that guy busts into the nut house and rescues Brother Boy after all them years, it made me cry, just a little bit.
