What Are DL's Top 10 Most Popular Movies?

No Marilyn or Anthony Hopkins movies?

Mame, the old trolls loved Mame. They hate the new Mame, the one Lucy that is 40 years old.

Don't forget perennial faves Rosemary's Baby, the Exorcist, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, and (to a much lesser extent) An Unmarried Woman.

Mommie Dearest is the one I see mentioned most.

Serial Mom

The Silence of the Lambs is definitely in the top ten.

Ahem...

Aren't you bitches forgetting something...???

"The Wizard of Oz"

Steel Magnolias

Weekend at Bernie's

Porky's Revenge

Encino Man

Octopussy

Ernest & Celestine

The Wedding Singer

The Sting

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Christine

FUCK YOU OP!

Female Trouble. How many times have cha-cha heels or the world of heterosexuals being a sick and boring life been mentioned here?

OP here. Goodbar is a good one. Every six months it seems a new thread is created. As for Mame, the Lucille Ball version is far more popular than the Rosalind Russell Auntie Mame. We're not talking quality here, just popularity. Mame is one of the most hated, but often mentioned.

(Nvm. My hole was too filled up. Couldn't read the entire list. Sorry.)

R10 I think Female Trouble gets more mentions than Serial Mom, but I'd say of John Waters' films, either Pink Flamingos or Hairspray is the most popular on DL.

Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy thread.

To Wong Foo - Hilarious Drag Queens with a heart!

The Birdcage - Robin Williams trying to teach the "swishy" Nathan Lane's character to be "Butch" is classic

Imitation of Life - Who doesn't love some over - the - top acting by the beautiful melodramatic Lana Turner?

Wizard of Oz - Judy Garland, need I say more?

All About Eve -- For the Catty Jealous Bitches on DL

Singin In the Rain - Gene Kelley can sing and dance and smile at me anytime!!!

West Side Story - Latinos oozing machisimo dancing in tight pants... sign me up!

Psycho - Little Tony Perkins gives us our first glimpse of what happens when cross dressing gone bad! Hi Caitlyn Jenner!

Midnight Express - Guy cruised by a hot middle eastern man -- Come on prison romance has gotta be someone's fantasy!

Moonlight - Cute "straight" guy falls in love with unattractive outcast gay boy - what DLer doesn't love that?

Beauty and the Beast - How many little gay boys wanna be ravished by a big horny beast?

The Trouble With Angels

Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows

"Moonlight - Cute "straight" guy falls in love with unattractive outcast gay boy - what DLer doesn't love that?"

R15, you did see the last section, didn't you?? Who's more fucking beautiful than Trevante Rhodes?

R17 I am referring to Ashton Sanders... you know, the unattractive outcast gay boy the beautiful JHarrel Jerome fell in love with!

The older versions of the characters were cute which is why I specifically mentioned when they fell "in love."

Where is Peyton Place?!

WAY too many people on this board like Terms of Endearment and Moonstruck than either film deserves.

R9 - shouldn't that be;

"FUCK ME OP"

Fatal attraction

Any Douglas Sirk film (but mainly imitation of life)

Klute

I must have horrible taste in movies.

Death Becomes Her

Valley of the Dolls

Cruising

(and 2nd for Auntie Mame)

Probably most Merchant/Ivory films

Ahem....The Women.

Where the Boys Are

How do we feel about The Crying Game?

The Hungover Games

The Women

Querelle

Un Chant d'Amour

Female Trouble

I dodn;t know that one, r30, but The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, with Maggie Smith shouting "ASSASSINS! ASSASSINS!" belongs on any DL list.

Can’t Stop the Music

[quote]some woman shouting bastards, bastards bastards!

Oh, that's what Miss Lindzey says when gentleman callers are a no-show.

Seems ‘death in Venice’ gets discussed quite often. Also ‘walk on the wild side’

Although I haven't seen the movie itself discussed that much recently, Muriel's Wedding is the originator of a DL catchphrase, and it has a strong resonance with the gay community of its time.

More than 40 posts and no mention to Gone with the Wind?

Back street with the delectable John gavin

The Boys in the Band - "Oh Mary, don't ask!"

The Wizard of Oz - "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."

Mommie Dearest - "You would know where to find the boys AND the booze!"

Ordinary People - "Buck would have never BEEN in the hospital!"

The Poseidon Adventure

What's Up Doc? "I am not A Eunice Burns, I am THE Eunice Burns."

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? - "Butcha ARE, Blanche! Ya ARE in that chair!"

Terms of Endearment

Call Me By Your Name

Brokeback Mountain - "I sure wish I knew how to quit you."

Yes! R10.

"I'm sorry may we suggest Mr Ray's Wig World"

"You can tell she's retarded, she has a face of an old woman."

R43 Which proves that although GWTW is considered one of the greatest classic movies of all time, it ain't as popular with DL'ers....

R45 obviously has been on DL as long as I have if not longer. Great post!

Gone With The Wind - a real Classic of a movie!!! Has to be seen in a theater on the big screen to be really appreciated.

R30, that sounds like Pieces to me.

Dolores Claiborne (Vera Donovan).

Steel Magnolias is the correct answer.

Steel Magnolias, Goodbar, ordinary People, mommie dearest - yeah these were the first I immediately thought of.

And Annie and how everyone’s underpants showed - those threads were always funny.

What am I, chopped Angie?

The three for which almost every datalounger knows every line by heart would be "Rosemary's Baby," "Mommie Dearest," and "Hairspray."

Most have also committed to memory at least vast portions of the dialogue from "All About Eve," "Mildred Pierce," "The Wizard of Oz," "The Women," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," "Valley of the Dolls." and "Showgirls."

Thank you so much, R49. I have no idea what the film is about but this scene used to regularly do the rounds on here.

And God made Eve from the rib of Adam, and Eve was weak and loosed the raven on the world. And the raven was called sin.

Making Love

[quote] "All About Eve," "Mildred Pierce," "The Wizard of Oz," "The Women," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," "Valley of the Dolls." and "Showgirls."

Wow, I am 57 and the only one I think I even know a line from is Wizard of Oz. Those movies are from the stone age Grandpa.

R57, the other favorite Harry Hamlin movie on DL is "Clash of the Titans", where Hamlin's nipples transfixed many a gayling during high school English class:

‘Longtime Companion’. &. ‘And the Band Played On’

Buck would be on that list.

Not OP, OP, but just "Buck."

R59, those nipples get me hard to this day.

BOUND (1996) is one of my favorite movies. I’m surprised it isn’t discussed more… here, or most anywhere.

R58 - I bet you're 57 but look like 27.

R59 There was a time where you did not need to be a gym rat to get attention from Hollywood. The first time I saw Harry Hamlin I was hypnotized. I thought he was one of the most beautiful men I had ever seen. He still looks pretty good today.

Fantastic list OP. I must admit that I almost spit out my rosé when I read Dawson’s 50 Load Weekend. But you're not wrong.

I’ll also vote for Muriel’s Wedding to be added to the list.

No Babs?

R66, yes, Harry Hamlin had a nice body, he just didn't have the ripped gym look that so many actors are expected to have today.

The Postman Rings Twice….the original…classic

The Exorcist……Linda Blair really shined in that one…

And let’s not forget my all-time favorite………The Rocky Horror Picture Show…………it’s just timeless

Excuse me but if you are 57 you ARE from the stoneage gramps.

What? No Ten Commandments? Yul Brynner and Anne Baxter! Are you sure you people are gay?

The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins used to get a lot of traction but it seems the eldergays are probably dying off.
