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).

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!

What else can I say?!?

Circuit (2001)


IMDb Details



Overuse of drugs particularly in a gay film very often disgusts me for I find no reason why it always has to be a part of it when it is very clear that without its presence, the story would remain intact. But in CIRCUIT, it is definitely a must -- its rampant use of drugs just makes it more realistic and vivid.

To my belief, this is one of the best gay features ever filmed. It’s powerful and moving. Its convincing and realistic depiction is such an experience that one does not need to see the real thing. And it made me realize that some people are into it because it is one escape from the world of homophobia and sarcasm.

Head On (1997)


IMDb Details



HEAD ON shocked its audience when first released in Australia as it is frenetic, furious and deliberately messy. What I really liked in this film is how it vividly showed a different kind of coming out... I am sure that such exists. And the lead actor's performance is simply superb. My Number 9!
