Maurice is one of my very most favourite movies of all time, right up there with Brokeback Mountain and Beautiful Thing.
Not many people seem to have heard of it. I'm obviously in very good company here at BettterMost (but I already knew that!) :D

:) I apparently have disordered my Netflix queue because I had Gods & Monsters instead of Maurice. I'll go make sure Maurice is next. It's my intention to catch up on all the G/L cinema I missed the first half of my life.
dot-matrix:
Add me to that list David, I'm a big Merchant Ivory fan and have read all of EM Forresters works. I've seen Maurice almost as many times as I saw Brokeback :D Like Leslie I saw it in the theater the first few times.
Rarely snows where I live either Kerry...they don't call it Sunny Southern California for nothin ;) Of course we did have snow in Malibu this January for the first time in 80 years ::)

I think I'll be spending Valentine's Day snowed in. :(

Could someone please explain to a snowless Aussie what on earth a snow devil is. ???

Hmmm, maybe I'd better join Kerry in heading for the hills too. It was a glorious warm and sunny Valentine's Day here. Not a single snowflake in sight. ;D
opinionista:
HAPPY VALENTINE'S EVERYONE!!!
I'm not doing anything special today, since I'm single at this moment. I thought I take myself out for lunch but I hurt my little toe running yesterday and it hurts when I walk. :-\ It is even bruised. So, I decided to stay home. I'll treat myself during the weekend, I guess.
But have a great valentine's day people!!!

Hi Lynne - Here's my all-time favourite gay movies. I can recommend all of them to you. Enjoy! :D
* Brokeback Mountain
* Maurice
* Beautiful Thing
* Priest
* Death in Venice
* The Naked Civil Servant
* Cabaret
* The Sum of Us
* Swan Lake (Matthew Bourne production)
The Sum of Us is an Australian film made in 1994, starring a very strapping young Russell Crowe, in one of his first starring roles, long before he went to Hollywood. He plays the part of a young gay plumber, living in Sydney. It's a beautiful film. I believe it's one of Russell's best. Have kleenex!
Though it's technically not a film, I can also recommend the Matthew Bourne production of Peter Tchaikovsky's ballet, Swan Lake. This is the gay version, in which the enchanted "swan" that Prince Siegfried falls in love with is male, not the usual female. Tragic gay love at its dramatic best, performed to the immortal, timeless melodies of the very gay Peter Tchaikovsky. It's available on DVD. Have kleenex for this one too!
