Welcome!

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!



Notes:
- Only the first ten films are ranked and the others are all runners-up to the TOP TEN.
- Recently released films will not be available for video streaming in fairness to producers!!!
- If the video links fail, the video server must have been asked to delete them on grounds of copyright violation or/and someone acting like god have flagged them for insane reason(s).

Beefcake (1998)


IMDb Details
[NOTE: Due to too much exposure of male nudity,
no streaming of the actual film would be shown
.]



Some of you would probably disagree that this film does not deserve a place here but having considered its historical value and the way the film has been edited are the main reasons why it should be here. I am sure that those in their forties and older would definitely agree with me. After all, they're the ones that enjoyed those sexy photographs and magazines.

I have to disagree with those that say that the acting was terrible. As a matter of fact, the actors' portrayals were very realistic. You don't expect the models to act... you actually expect them to exhibit their best physical assets. If you felt interested whilst watching them flex their muscles and display their smooth bodies, then I'd say that they acted well as they succeeded in getting your attention!

Furthermore, seeing Joe D’Alessandro and company still looking good and fit is a treat. They should serve as inspirations as to why we should take care of how we look and feel... it's for the sake of a healthier future.

Prayers for Bobby (2009)


IMDb Details



I cried... I cried... I cried. And before I knew it, my shirt was half wet. It was the incredible effect of this truly magnificent television film very recently released in the US. I have not read the book and I don't know whether the book would land my hands and I say, it's a pity because there's this one scene that bothered me quite a lot which I would consider the only flaw in the film. If I were the editor, I would just thrash it because to me, it's a minus factor not on the film but to homosexuality as a whole. Maybe I have misjudged it but I felt exactly the same after watching it the second time.

I have read some comments from those who have viewed it and I can't understand how they can say that some scenes were cut that they seem not to be connected.... and so forth. Lucky me, I didn't feel the way they did for it was well-scripted and directed and brilliantly acted by Ms Weaver and Mr Kelly... except for that one flaw. And I am not revealing it because it's simply a product of my far out respect for humanity... for the homosexuals to be more specific.

My final judgement: This inspirational gem is extremely good that it should be watched by every single member of the society. Every household should own one so purchase your DVD copy once they become available in stores!

OMG... I am going to watch it again!

Son frère (2003) His Brother


IMDb Details



A drama composed entirely of clinical, corporeal facts, one of which is love... the love between two brothers who were so distant during their youth.

A very moving film that only proves "blood is thicker than water."

Eine außergewöhnliche Affäre (2002) An Unusual Affair


IMDb Details



A very compelling television feature from Germany showing the suffering of a once happily married middle-aged man, and also the sufferings simultaneously caused by his somewhat late coming out to his wife, daughter and most of all, his son. A warning to all the closeted gays not to embark on a life they cannot handle later in their lives. To put it simply, stop deceiving your own self as the consequences of your pretention will definitely cause severe hurt than happiness to yourself and the people you care for.

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!
