This blog is reserved for the most outstanding gay-themed films released in different parts of the globe. It is dedicated to all those who happen to prefer the same gender for meaningful relationship and to those who understand the fact that being gay is not a choice and in fact, a vital part of the creation.
In this blog, gay-themed are those films wherein the central plot of the story revolves around its principal gay character(s), meaning, any film whereby it has a gay segment or gay character playing a minor role is certainly out of here. The film should have garnered the highest honours in the field of visual entertainment and/or have been recognized for its brilliance by legit and credible critics and reviewers.
Whilst the term “best” is highly subjective or has the tendency to favour a certain taste, let me assure you that it would be least applied here for this blog’s intention is honest and just. Story, direction, acting, script, validity are the absolute criteria for the selection. Therefore, a highly-flawed film will never land here even if it is a certified box office success or the director and its actors are very popular.
Hopefully, this blog encourages those who are still afraid to come out of the closet and at the same time opens the eyes and hearts of those homophobic individuals who up to this day keep on degrading and bashing the gays. It’s time they accepted the fact that just like them, the gays are equally important part of the society today… until the end of human existence.
Live proud and enjoy this blog!

THE TRIP is one of the best gay romances ever filmed that its romantic charm and entertainment impact would be intact for years, therefore, a classic. The chemistry of the actors that portrayed the leading parts are too affecting that there’ll be a lot of moments when you watch that you’d smile, laugh and cry.
NOUS ÉTIONS UN SEUL HOMME explores the longing of two runaways in the middle of the forest... one from the asylum and the other from his battalion. It all started when the simple pheasant took care of the wounded soldier with the intention of bringing him back to health and probably have someone to talk with whilst recuperating. During the healing stage, the Frenchman becomes determined to keep his German friend as permanent company whereas the latter develops an urge for the former sexually.
Some may find it bizarre but it is actually the uniqueness of this very imaginative fiction that makes it so mesmerizing. The realistic and honest portrayals of the two lead actors can make one believe that such state could happen. I am not a sadist nor a masochist but I certainly loved the film's entirety. However strange the film's ending, it only confirms that once you reach the very peak of love, you simply will not let it go... until the end.
A very entertaining joint film from Canada and the UK, TOUCH OF PINK has so many to offer which make me wonder why it has been overlooked by the many especially those gay film festivals. It shows not only a very realistic interracial gay situation but the genuine love of a mother to a (gay) son. What is more amazing is that it shows reactions to gay affairs within a very conservative culture.
The presence of the imaginary friend depicts the escape of a person who feels the longing of parental love and understanding. And the revelation of a secret -- the affair between two cousins -- is indeed a situation that exists everywhere in the world.
I've watched hundreds of gay-themed films and I proclaim that this is the most wholesome and pleasant to watch even if gay romance is practically absent. I believe that the effeminate boy will turn gay when he grows up and showing this to a family would let each member understand that "gayness" is not a matter of choice but simply a special characteristic built-in to an individual destined to be gay. This is an absolute gem that should not be missed!
LES CHANSONS D'AMOUR is an excellent entertainment feature to those with real eyes, hearts and ears. Having said that, a lot of impostors reviewed it quite badly but cannot blame them actually because they are absolutely impostors. The dialogues are mostly done in songs that are sung by the actors themselves... and mind you, they sing them in perfect notes.
I find the ménage à trois arrangement so funny and cute -- as they say, this is not at all strange in in the city of love and romance. And surprisingly, the chemistry that run between Ismaël and Erwann was so passionately engaging. A MUST SEE but I must warn you how the impostors felt about it!
LE FATE IGNORANTI is quite unique as compared to most films of its genre. You can say it's original except for the accident scene of Massimo (Andrea Renzi) which I believe is a copy of a scene in "Meet Joe Black" starring Brad Pitt.
Overall, the film is full of warmth, passion and tenderness... I'd say that it's a great film for all the sexes!
MÄNNER WIE WIR is amazingly interesting and at the same time, very entertaining. I would personally love to see a gay soccer team winning a real game with the straight guys. Hmmm... I wonder how the straight spectators would react... just in case.
BEATIFUL THING glows with optimism and good humour. Its very natural acting and sharp script make this delight from the UK a real beautiful thing... my Number 8 or even better!
C.R.A.Z.Y. may only be a fiction story but it describes the true feelings of an individual who does not want what his being has become. At almost 7, he prays hard to live a normal life just like his other brothers and he fights his homosexual tendencies so hard until he meets the guy that awakens the long-subdued passion within.
On the other hand, it shows the pains of the parents for their favourite and gifted son has turned to a man they least hoped for. Remarkably a very good film from Canada that deserves my Number 7 or even better. A wholesome entertainment for everyone!!!
LATTER DAYS is definitely one heck of a good film that is guaranteed to make anyone cry even if the viewer is straight. No matter if it’s your nth time watching it... you will still cry or at least feel so pretty bad at some point in the film.
What is most important is the fact that the film delivered true to life experiences of some people in the religious world. A Number 5... or even better!
SHELTER is an independent film that is genuinely amazing. It's charm lies on the chemistry of its lead actors performing their respective roles to a perfect T that all you wish for is for them to be together and share the happiest moments of their lives.
It's probably the most decent depiction of a gay character in any film I've seen. Truly a very pleasant film to watch that I have considered it as the second best!
