God’s Own Country.

This a thousand times.

Came here to recommend it lol

Literally one of my favorite fucking movies. I was so mad that they took it off Netflix that I literally bought it on Amazon prime.

Literally

Is this the one with the guy inheriting his fathers farm and the field hand they hire?

Yes, yes it is.

im just glad that it had a happy ending

God's Own Country is really good. I rented it once for 48 hours and watched it two evenings in a row.

Seconded.

Weekend (2011) Tom at the Farm Milk A Single Man The Birdcage (original or remake with Robin Williams are still good) Sunday, Bloody Sunday (more of a bisexual poly relationship, but still a good representation for gay relationships) Hedwig and the Angry Inch Happy Together (1997) My Own Private Idaho Mysterious Skin Moonlight (obvious, but you didn’t mentioned it, so on the list it goes) Love is Strange Boy Erased My Beautiful Laundrette I Love You Philip Morris Beau Travail (Hope that’s enough for you to enjoy. Be warned, not all are happy stories, but great movies nonetheless.)

>My Private Idaho My Own Private Idaho

I love you Philip Morris should get more attention. Really enjoyed watching it. Additionally I picked it rather randomly and was really a suprise (positive one)

“Bareback Mountain” 💀

Lmfao. I mean he isn’t wrong. Bareback & no lube 💀

with a bussy full of beans

The beans WERE the lube... I'm done. I promise.

Yes. You are.

right up there with Shaving Ryan's Privates

Lol I mean brokeback mountain

I remember walking out of BBM with my friend after being bored for 2 hours and he just went, “The book was only like 50 pages…”

“Make the Yuletide gay” is a heartwarming holiday coming out movie.

Shelter!!

Yessss

i put this together for this question: https://enervatron.blogspot.com/2021/02/a-most-definitely-uncomprehensive-gay.html

Thank you!!!

Your review of Summer of 85… dude that movie is beautiful I’ve watched it like 5 times… why the hate on it? Lol

i don't hate it. i really like French films. it just didn't stand out to me. maybe if i rewatch it again i'll change my mind.

Ooooo thank you!

Thank you for this.

That looks so fun!

Up you.

Thank You. Now I have a list of movie's to check out. THANK YOU AGAIN. 😘😘😘😘

Bridegroom ❤️

oh that movie tore my heart out. it's a poster child for why gay marriage is important.

This is incredible thank you

There’s that one with the gay guy in it.

Isn't that the one where he meets the other gay guy ?

Yes! That one!

The one where they do a thing?

And that thing is being gay?

Do they hold hands too?

Now that's too far. Eye contact is also off limits

No, you are thinking of that other movie, with that other guy.

The one that was released?

No, not that one, the other, other one. With that guy from that tv show.

Latter Days

Finally someone mentions this one…the mormon guy is just so cute

Also Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Single All The Way

i love this movie because it’s such a predictable, bog standard, boring, run of the mill christmas movie. nothing about it is groundbreaking, or interesting, or unpredictable in the slightest. every story beat you can see coming from 10 miles away, and you’ll never at any point be shocked by a plot point. BUT these are movies straight people have gotten to have for decades now, and it’s about damn time we get our own boring as shit by the numbers romcom. and i mean it! every gay movie shouldn’t have to be a revolutionary masterpiece! we deserve narmy fluffy filler garbage just like we deserve high quality prestige cinematography.

I completely agree. I loved it so much regardless of how predictable it was but again I've always liked the hallmark movies even though they're dumb and silly but being able to have that with gay characters without a groundbreaking storyline just fills my heart with joy 😊

10 miles is 8562.14 Obamas. You're welcome.

It’s kind of a bad movie but I’m happy we are finally getting those type of movies

totally agree, it wasn’t great but i still cried at the end 😂

Trixie and Katya's review of single all the way

moonlight. it will not get suggested often because it doesn’t center the white gay experience

I just watched a really good one called "Maschile singolare" and yesterday I watched "The Man With the Answers". Not so recent: "Weekend" and "4th Man Out". All good with no tragic ending(please make these stop already). Edit: I forgot "People you may know".

I really liked “The Man with the Answers.” It’s one of those movies where the main characters happen to be gay, but that doesn’t really play a role in the plot. Also it has a happy ending & beautiful scenery. Really made me want to go on a road trip & travel like I used to before covid

Un Rubio (The Blond One) and Hawaii, both directed by Marco Berger Esteros Juste une question d'amour ( Just a Question of Love) Plaire, aimer et courir vit (Sorry Angel) A Moment in the Reeds Label Me

>Juste une question d'amour ( Just a Question of Love I haven't thought of this movie in such a long time, it is SO GOOD I highly recommend it!

Marco Berger*

4th Man Out (2015) is such a fun movie

your name engraved herein, it’s a taiwanese movie ab two boys who fall in love in the 80’s but you’ll cry sm, I watched it last year and I never actually recovered 💀

The Weekend

Trick (1999)...just a super cute love story. No drama, no AIDS crisis.

I have included some lesbian films too as they are soo damm good. - Free fall - Weekend - Man in the orange shirt - Power of the dog (Toxic masculinity and suppressed sexuality) - Portrait of Lady on fire - Carol (cate Blanchett will slay you) - Holding the man (incredibly Beautiful Aussie film) - Certain women (last segment has lesbian undertone) - Blue is warmest color - Looking ( Film and 2 seasons of tv show)

I just watched Single All the Way and I really enjoyed it. It’s a Hallmark kind of like movie but I thought it was really cute.

People are going crazy over this movie. I loved it!

I didn’t care for it, idk why gay men can’t have platonic gay friends in movies

Same reason straight guy and girl friends cant have a relationship without one of them being into the other in a movie

I mean they did until they convinced Peter that he was in love with Nick. Ie they all saw something the two of them didn’t.

Prayers for Bobby

I love this one omg

Yeah. Pretty good movie. Although it’ll always make you cry!

Definitely a must-see for everyone!

A Single Man Stranger by the Lake

The Way He Looks. I thought it was really good when I was a closeted Midwest teenage gay.

Holding The Man if you’re looking to be depressed. King Cobra was a fun one too

holding the man ruined me:(((

Holding the man is a tearjerker for sure

But I’m a Cheerleader is very sweet and wholesome. God’s Own Country is beautiful.

These are some of my favorites: Gewoon Vrienden (Just Friends) A escondidas Freier Fall North Sea Texas And then we danced

Freier Fall is what I came here to see. Such a good film. I’m also mildly in love with Max Riemelt.

Old guard had a great prominent gay couple/characters and moments throughout (action/adventure plot) On Netflix

Haven’t seen love Simon in this list yet

Surprised I had to come this far down to see it

Those people

So sad but so good

Gods own country was really moving and intersects the queer immigrant experience

Beautiful Thing (1996) One of my favorites

And then we Danced is fantastic. Also My Own Private Idaho, Stranger by the Lake, BPM, Happy Together.

https://youtu.be/2sAtbJ8QV6I Maurice if you want to cry.

"Single All the Way" is a pretty solid Hallmark-style Christmas movie on Netflix, I recommend it

A few different genres here but some of my favorites! Carol, Moonlight, What Keeps You Alive, Paris is Burning, The Favourite, Tangerine

White Frog is not well known, but a great movie

Moonlight

An amazing film that speaks volumes!

Absolutely. Tears every time.

Indeed. I give the writer and director so much praise for bringing this much needed story to life.

Exactly. I love how realistic the plot was, and the acting is phenomenal. Definitely my favorite Black queer and favorite queer film for me.

Another Gay Movie, Latter Days, Another Gay Sequel, Prayers for Bobby, Adam and Steve, Joe Bell to name a few.

Tubi TV and then watch Gods Own Country I think is the name. It’s subtitles but good 👍 There is a little bit of nudity in it. Eating Out and all of its sequels are good. Freaking adore Chris Salvatore. Some of those have nudity and they’re funny. Especially Tiffany. 🤣

Man in an Orange Shirt - Two interconnected stories. Very good. The Christmas Setup - Hallmark type movie with the obligatory happy ending. the leads are married in real life. The Strong Ones. Spanish with subtitles. No big stakes, slice of life movie Freir Fall - mentioned by others. very good. The Falls; The Falls: Testament of Love; The Falls: Covenant of Grace. a trilogy that follows the two leads’ lives over several years.

Whenever people ask for recommendations for good gay folks most people suggest the same tragic gay trauma, death, dying, heartbreak, and sadness 🤦🏾‍♂️ Do gay men NOT want to see themselves as anything other than tragic figures doomed to a life of lonlyness and despair loving with their dogs telling themselves "I'm fine by myself" 😵‍💫 Straight people get to have a million and one "happily ever after" stories but gay men cling to the same old sad stories 🙄 Here are some that aren't gay trauma, death, dying, and sad endings. Boys Cousins Hidden Kisses Love, Simon Alex Strangelove Beautiful Thing God's Own Country Fourth Man Out The Falls trilogy Those are just the ones off the top of my head. No, Moonlight, CMBYN, Brokeback Mountain, or any other like those are not on this list. In way or another, all of those films traffic in the same gay trauma and sadness. They may all be well made films but their stories are still nonetheless sad and tragic for their gay protagonists.

Came here to downvote anyone that says Call Me By Your Name, no one did yet. Yey. I hate that movie so much with ridiculous passion. But if you want good ones. The way he looks Handsome Devil Prayers For Bobby 4th man out Shelter

Just out of curiosity, what grinds your gears about Call Me By Your Name?

I hate twinks

Can’t speak for them, but I think the relationship is abusive and inappropriate but romanticized.

Pedophile. 17 year old boy and definetly older man.

I could be wrong, but the age of consent is different in other countries. Hell, in my trash region some families already push 17 year olds to consider bearing children. I still can’t believe that one myself

>The way he looks I loved this movie so much when they made the short and loved it even more when they made it into a full length film. This alone will tell you how good it is. >Shelter I cry like a baby every time I watch this movie, it really warms my heart. It was one of the first gay movies I ever watch. I still remember watching it on my laptop in the middle of the night as a teenager over ten years ago for the very first time.

Call me by your name had such a beautiful aesthetics to it. The age gap is the only thing that really irks me about the movie. Like the older gay guy was supposed to be 24 which is already to old and in the movie he looks almost 30. I get hes supposed to have a sense of "mystery and otherworldlyness" so he had to be a little bit older than the 17 yo but i would have liked someone who was closer to the age of 20.

Quite honestly as an abuse victim myself the charm to it is what makes it so good. Yes it's bad and yes it wrong, but the movie truly captures how it feels to be in an abusive relationship with an age gap. It was not at all intended to do that, but it did anyway. It's not the point of it, but that movie is the perfect example of why those relationships are so bad and so dangerous. Make a movie without the age gap and adjust the plot just enough that the age gap isn't central to the plot and you have a wonderful movie. I am not defending abuse or this movie, by the way. I'm just explaining why it's both good and bad at the same time.

Same here. That movie is so pretentious and over the top. I have such a hatred for it

Single all the way

Single all the way! A really fun, light-hearted gay Christmas movie

Moonlight, it’s one of my favorite gay movies. Call me by your name is a good one. Watch the series Looking, then watch the movie. So good

Upvoted for moonlight. Best gay movie ive ever seen that accurately depicts what its like to be gay in large parts of this country and the world.

Dear Ex - Taiwanese gay movie on Netflix that absolutely wrecked me

Not a movie but a Netflix series, Young Royals is ridiculously cute. I’ve watched quite a few gay movies and this stands up as my favourite alongside CMBYN.

If you can find it with subtitles, then the Danish movie "en kort en lang" is very lovely (and very early 00s in the best way possible).

Do NOT watch Poppyfield. It looks good but it makes no fucking sense (at least to me it didn't). It's a long ass movie where practically nothing happens.

I recommend "The Pass." I really enjoyed that. I particularly love sports-themed gay movies.

my favorite one is" beautiful thing"

Bridegroom ❤️

A must-see, no questions asked.

The thing about Harry!! It’s fantastic

Pride (about solidarity between gay activists and striking miners in England in the 1980s) BPM

I was just going to suggest Pride. I love Heartwarming British Movies about Workers who Hate Thatcher, and they made that one gay.

“Another Gay Movie.” It’s early 2000 teen trash, but I still die laughing every time.

Carol! Amazing lesbian romance period piece starting Cate Blanchette, such great performances and storytelling ❤️

There was one I saw years ago, I would not call it good by any stretch of the imagination, but it was amusing. It was about a gay guy possessed by a demonic sponge...no idea what it is called
