What is the gayest movie ever?

Movies with high levels of neuroticism.

I think it depends what generation the person answering is from. That said as a young Gen Xer my answer is Steel Magnolias.

For obvious reasons, movies like The Boys in the Band (the OG version) and Torch Song Trilogy come to mind.

Serial Mom

Valley of the Dolls. And pretty much every other Helen Lawson picture you can think of.

"Auntie Mame"

Steel Magnolias is definitely gay gay gay. But I've always been surprised by how many straight men have have seen it, I always just thought it ?Gen X moms passing a weepie down to their daughters so so many young girls still love the movie.

Suddenly Last Summer — cannibalism, lobotomies, Venus fly traps, Liz’s third-person journaling

Everyone assumes fraus love Julia Roberts for Pretty Women which they do. The fairy tale of a billionaire taking you shopping on Rodeo is real. But so many love her for Steel Magnolias even more. I'm still shocked how many women visit LA and have Rodeo Drive at the top of their list to visit.

The Wizard of Oz

All About Eve

I think The Ritz is worth a mention. That's quite a cast and most of them were in the original Broadway production.

West Side Story

I’d say that 50 loads is pretty gay, no?

Anything made by Tyler Perry

Hairspray

Can’t Stop the Music

[Quote] I’d say that 50 loads is pretty gay

No porno!

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. You’ve got two divas and a Datalounger living with his overbearing mother.

R31 = Nancy Lee Grahn

Burlesque.

What exactly makes a movie "gay", OP?

[quote] What exactly makes a movie "gay", OP?

[quote] What I mean by that is, I don’t mean anything by that. You fill in your own meaning. For me personally, it doesn’t mean gay men as characters, it doesn’t mean the handsomest guys, it doesn’t mean written by or directed by gay men.

[quote] To me, it means the movie with the most magnetic appeal to gay men, the movie we simply love watching the most — you’re flipping the channel and find it, and flipping away feels like DIVORCE.

[quote] But you know what? Damn me — damn me to hell! You use any criteria you want, dear. The only thing I request is, no porn. I mean the “legitimate cinema.”

The Harvey Girls

Sudden Fear

Mommie Dearest

Watching two out of three of these films will literally turn you gay.

Mildred Pierce

OP, how is galviggo?

I have never understood why The Wizard of Oz especially appeals to gay men.

I guess some gay men feel that their emotional/psychological essence is female.

Maybe not "the gayest" but in the Gay Top Ten: Bell Book & Candle & Cabaret

Mean Girls

Alot of these are very eldergay-ish movies. Anything from the 21st century?

Brokeback Mountain (2006)

Starship Troopers is 1997 and seems uber gay to me.

Stranger by the Lake is about gays, and is super gay and is a good movie, 2013. Summer of 85 is Ozon, 2020, nostalgic story of gay youth. And a good movie. None of these are the "gayest movie ever" because they dont have the traction. Morocco (1930) and Queen Christina (1933) now have almost a century of traction. Morocco is super gay.

I echo Cabaret, and let me add Torch Song Trilogy.

All the X-Men films

Rebel Without a Cause

Tigerland

Sharknado-gay ass fucking movie

Heathers

The Facts of Life Goes to Australia

Giant

GODS and MONSTERS and ENCINO MAN-GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE

HOT Brendan Fraser-and he's a yummy caveman. he is excellent in G& M but its still a gay movie, but a really good one.

Modern movies are terrified to be campy, or afraid to not try to appeal to everyone.

I thought Brokeback was borderline campy with the melodrama and awful wigs, but was too earnest to make my short list.

Pee Wee's Big Adventure is gayer!

Garbo Talks is also very gay.

C'mon guys! Everyone knows the gayest movie ever is Top Gun.

The Ten Commandments

R55, especially now that we know that Kelly McGillis is a lesbian!

Okay, r56 wins!

I wonder why that might be

Maybe not the gayest, but any movie with Bette Davis cussing it going to be in the top 10.

The Pizza Boy: He Delivers

Porky’s Revenge

For 21st century movies with the gayest sensibility, I'd go with this one and The Devil Wears Prada. Of course that's not counting movies with gay main characters and central plots like Moonlight and Brokeback Mountain.

Other than Judy Garland being the star (and I guess Minnelli as the director), what's the "gay" content of Meet Me In St. Louis? It's a family story, it's not campy, it was one of MGMs biggest hits of all time, suggesting it appealed to people across the board.

Um-Meet me in St. Louis is the best movie EVER made. Thats how gay I am.

Apartment Zero

Desperately Seeking Susan

First Wives Club

Priscilla Queen of the Desert is it for me. There’s a cute indie film called Edge of Seventeen (not to be confused with The Edge of Seventeen) which I adore.

No one said White Squall yet?

Horror category: Nightmare on Elm Street, Part 2. That's undeniable. It's been written about.

The Covenant (2006)

Alien: Covenant (2017)

R72, what makes it gay?
