What are some good gay movies on the Netflix?

Latter Days was okay but this other one is tired.

Beautiful Thing

You know, we often lampoon LOGO here (and rightly so) but I don't think Here! TV is much better. Most of the movies it offers are shit and so are its original series (tired reruns of shit they produced 2 or 3 years ago and haven't bothered to make new episodes since).%0D %0D I'm seriously thinking of taking it off my Time Warner account because it's really not worth paying for.

Undertow (Peruvian)

Eyes Wide Open (Israeli)

Weekend (British)

The most recent one is Keep the Lights On which is decent but not in a class with those 3 recent great ones.

by Anonymousreply 6March 20, 2013 10:20 PM

Oh R4 I have been waiting for that (didn't realise it was lesbian themed either but there's the title) but it hasn't been given a UK release. Some films like The Messenger weren't released till like 2 years theatrically or otherwise.

High Art is the last word in dyke films I'd say, from the director of The Kids Are All Right and much better than that. This is low budget indie tastica with some hot guys. One who ended up in Revenge I was shocked to see.

"The Wise Kids" wasn't too bad. The better gay-themed movies tend to be foreign. The American ones tend to be about privileged white narcissists whining about how hard it is to find a decent boyfriend and their slutty friends.

I loved Weekend (especially when watched with subtitles), Undertow and my recent obsession Keep the Lights On which I found especially touching for some reason. I had read the autobiography of the other party in the relationship (Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man by Bill Clegg which was harrowing)so it was interesting to see the other half covered in a semi-fictional way. The leads were very effective as well especially the Danish actor who portrayed the filmaker. One movie from awhile ago that was very interesting in a cultural way was The Bubble from Israel which was about gay life in Tel Aviv and the relationship between Jews and Palestinians within that bubble.

It is crazy how difference taste can be. I can't imagine how anyone can think "Weekend" is crap, I think it is clearly one of the most impressive gay-themed movies.

Films are the most subjective thing aren't they, much more so than music I'd say.

Maybe since there are so many factors in you liking them, they're longer than a whole album and TV show requiring attention span/watching on DVD vs full cinema experience etc.

I do think it's been something of a golden age for gay cinema though. I don't remember so many quality ones coming out around the same time. It was rare before.

I don't know if they're available via streaming (that's not how I watch movies), but some recent ones that I loved (aside from the previously mentioned Weekend, Undertow and Keep the Lights On):

The String -- Young man returns to Tunisia to care for his elderly mother (Claudia Cardinale) and falls for the hunky gardener.

The Green -- In a small southern town, an openly gay high school teacher is accused of molesting a student; a bit preachey, but a solid cast.

Oh, you might definitely want to check out Patrik, Age 1.5, as Hollywood is currently prepping a remake.

"Brotherhood" was unexpectedly satisfying for a gay film. It's a Danish film about gay neo-Nazis (so not quite PC), but whatever, the two leads were hot and it had more substance than most gay films.

By the way, Netflix selection of gay films is atrocious, which is why I cancelled my membership. They used to have everything now they have practically nothing.

Amazon.com has a slightly better selection but still pretty old.

Wolfevideo.com has a pay per view feature with some newer titles.

by Anonymousreply 41March 22, 2013 3:57 AM

According to Wolfe and/or TLA Video, you need to find the movies on the site, and if it's not available click on the green "save" button to put them into your "save queue." The more saves a movie that Netflix doesn't carry, the more likely it will be picked up.

I just wish Wolfe and TLA would just offer a streaming service instead of just selling the DVDs. I'd pay for that.

"Heartbeats" by the beautiful Xavier Dolan won a Palm at Canne, not in the main competition but still. It's Canadian French, but the story and cinematography are strong enough to carry an English speaking viewer the whole way through. You will laugh, you will identify with the characters and you will be totally satisfied that there's a gay film out there that has gay characters that just exist and don't get aids or become addicts or face impossible love. Well, I guess we will have to watch the movie to find if the last one is true. Here's the trailer.

Wolfe and TLA both have streaming services. TLA's list is really out of date because they want people to buy the DVDs. Wolfe has newer titles but only a select few.

And no, Netflix USED to have a huge selection of gay films but ever since the famous price hike/f#ck you to users, they have cut back significantly on what they carry, especially foreign and less-mainstream gay films. The "Save" function is pretty much useless because most smaller films will not get enough clicks to hit the threshold.

Shelter is one of the best gay movies I've ever seen. I didn't really expect to like it much due to the age difference between the actors, but it's a very nice feel good movie.

Going Down in Lala Land is pretty decent. Has some weird parts where the director or producer inserted himself into the film(don't they all?) but other than that it was entertaining.

"Edge of Seventeen" is a gay coming of age film with a superb l80's soundtrack. The male lead goes through the classic rites such as getting up the courage to actually enter the gay bar that he's driven by so many times. It covers his first relationship and gradual acceptance of who he is.

I saw a pretty good one last night.

It's called "Morgan" and it's about a newly disabled guy in a wheelchair that falls in love again. It's definitely not the most professional or even technically proficient production I've ever seen, and there are a few cliches (sassy fat black girl as best friend) but for me it worked because it makes you really feel something for the two characters, the leads are appealing and attractive and not in a cliched gay movie pretty boy way, and the gay angle is almost secondary to the story about a young guy who's paralyzed and trying to get his life back.

This is something you've never seen before in gay film, I thought it was a very special movie and I highly recommend it.

I thought 'Morgan' was wonderful for the first 45 minutes. Great characterization and honest performances.

Then it got real weird, the tone changed and it was all about the bratty drama and the character I adored became unattractive (and disingenuously portrayed). Great acting then horrible acting. Great screenplay then horrible screenplay.

But that's just my opinion.

Fair enough, r74. I thought the end when Morgan spazzed out and became unlikeable it was an interesting choice because it kept him from being a "noble cripple." It seemed real. Sometimes we're all bratty and childish and selfish and lash out at those who love us. I think it was truthful because it was indicative of the pressure he was putting on himself to become the "old him" again. It worked for me.

I've seen so many of these movies over the years and what I want now is a list of movies with GUARANTEED HAPPY ENDINGS. Yes! I want the boys to meet, fall in love, have problems, kiss and then live happily ever after. No. I'm not fricking shallow I've just had it with all the torture and doom and gloom. That's what real life is for! And god knows I have the antidepressants to prove it. Give me escapism. Please. Even Maurice - one of the very best if not THE best - has a supposedly happy ending but that last shot of Maurice's face as he holds a swooning Alec is all "Oh shit. What did I just do!"

That being said I LOVE Bent which I don't think has been mentioned. You can't get more brutal than a Nazi camp but the story is so moving and so beautifully acted that the inevitable end is a kind of happy release despite the tears.

Not much dialog at all. The cinematography is beautiful though, and the boys have chemistry. It was a nice enough movie.

There's many older movies that have happy endings too, like Beautiful Thing, Touch Of Pink, Make The Yuletide Gay, Just A Question Of Love, Breakfast With Scot, Straight Jacket, Shelter, Latter Days, East Side Story, Maurice, Wilde, Longhorns, Boy Culture, Noah's ARK: Jumping The Broom, Mambo Italiano, The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green, The Curiosity of Chance, All Over The Guy, Trick, Guys & Balls.

r97, that's what made Keep The Lights On such a powerful film, for me. Thore Lindhardt was brilliant and, in a just world, would've received a Best Actor Oscar nod.

I recently watched Loose Cannons, the most recent effort from Turkish-Italian filmmaker Ferzan Ozpetek; like so many of his previous films (Steam: The Turkish Bath; His Secret Life; Facing Windows), it's filled with beautiful men and broad characterizations -- in this case, an Italian family whose fortune is based on the production of pasta; a son comes home to reveal he's gay, only to have his brother come out first -- but, for some reason, I didn't find it as satisfactory as his earlier films. Still, much better than most American indie gay films.

Can anyone identify this movie for me? I saw it years ago on one of the cable channels. It was about a man with three grown sons, all of them engaged in larcenous doings. One of the sons got rebellious and the father was going to crucify him. He was actually erecting a cross in the backyard.

It isn't a gay film, but the father ran around in britches without a shirt and he was very hot, so you could say it's of "gay interest." The sons weren't hot, but that father was a real daddy.

I quite liked "David's Birthday", though it definitely does not have a happy ending, but it's beautiful.

I also found "For A Lost Soldier" to be profoundly moving, if slightly disturbing, but it still made me cry, and feel things I have not felt in a very long time.

I wish "Big Eden" would appear on Netflix, that's my favorite gay movie EVER.

Gather 'round, girls, i have to share! Rubens Place is the worst gay or straight movie ever! God. The one drunken father scene is community theatre at its worst. Your mouth will drop, lol. And with so many plot holes you'd think you looking at a dolphin net. All this with this ugly actors. What were they thinking?

I concur with R113 re Director Ozpetek and suggest as well his excellent Saturno Contro (Saturn in Opposition). Hot men, wonderful story. Also Magnifica Presenza (Magnificent Haunting). Not quite as good as Saturno Contro or Le Fate Ignoranti (His Secret Life)......but close enough.

Eating Out is horrible. Filled with awful tired stereotypes, such as drag queens, feminine girly dudes, and excessive campiness. A horrible movie series.

Cuatro Luna (Four Moons) is really good. It's about four gay men in different stages of life: adolescence, 20's, 30's and older... So much better then gay movies from the USA. And there is a lot of nudity...

This is slightly weird and off topic, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

Does anyone know about any gay movies featuring two friends (either where one is gay and one is straight, or they're both straight) who fall in love? What I mean is where one or both think they're straight only to discover they're not when they fall for each other?

I want to watch a movie like that, but can't think of any right now.

No Night Is Too Long, based on a Barbara Vine/Ruth Rendell novel. From BBC about 10 years ago. Surprisingly frank sex scenes fr TV, and the suspense s intense.

by Anonymousreply 182July 1, 2017 12:18 PM

R182 4 Moons is great! And, Antonio Velázquez is hot in it. But, I disagree that 10 Year Plan is "well done." It's actually pretty awful.

Just finished watching “Being 17” on Netflix. Excellent film, on par with “In God’s Country”, IMO. Great chemistry between the two leads (and a hot sex scene to boot!)

by Anonymousreply 184July 22, 2018 8:25 AM

I looked up 4 Moons and enjoyed it. Antonio Velázquez (Hugo) is delicious but his character was such a dick. The actor who played Andres was brilliant. Their relationship was so unhealthy that it was uncomfortable but compelling to watch. The guy why played Fito was great as well - the scene where he and Leo have sex for the first time is so unsexy but strangely sweet.
