I'm not gay, but may I continue posting anyway?
To add to
Sommersturm, other gay-themed German movies:
* Echte Kerle (comedy)
* Aimée und Jaguar (2nd World War lesbian drama)
* Lola + Bilidikid (Turkish-German drama)
* Wir alleine zusammen mit Dir (AIDS, drama. With the brilliant Thomas Kretschmann)
Anyone mentioned/seen
Johns? I think the grown up Lukas Haas is great in anything he does. There's also one of the early AIDS movies
An Early Frost. All main characters are great.
Anyone seen/mentioned
Touch Me (about AIDS, with Michael Vartan) and
Breaking the Surface: The Greg Louganis Story? I liked them both.
Then there is
Blood and Concrete,
Forgive and Forget,
Dreamers,
Common Ground and
Segunda Piel wich I haven't seen yet, but definitely want to. Anyone knows, if they are any good? Anyone seen
C.R.A.Z.Y? It's coming to Belgium this week and I heard good stuff about it.
Transamerica is hitting our screens this week too - I won't miss that one!
Long long time ago I saw a movie called
Welcome home Bobby. I remember it being about a young man coming out of the closet, but not much else. Have never seen it again.
I'm still waiting for a DVD of
Burnt Money..
Saw
Victim once or twice, quite some time ago. Very hard and 'typical' for the 60s. Quite daring for Dirk Bogarde at the time, I thought.
Loved loved
Lost Language of Cranes! Love Ben Daniels in it (he is the stepfather of 'Jamie' in
Beautiful Thing and he has played gay again in
Fanny and Elvis).
I did
not know that Robert Sean Leonard's character in
Dead Poets Society was gay!?
