Gay Films and TV Shows

drvaleyard · 03-06-2011, 08:23 PM

This thread is to talk about Gay Films and TV shows. We can talk about movies or TV shows that focusses on the LGBT themes or maybe a LGBT Character.

Please list some LGBT movies and ones that most people may not have seen.

I was wondering, if any of you have seen Christopher And His Kind? Matt Smith stars in it and he is the current Doctor on Doctor Who. I don't think it is going to air in the USA, but only in UK. What did you think? What was it all about? I know he plays some gay guy in Nazi Germany.

I might have to wait until it is on DVD or find it on the web.

Modern Family?

Six Feet Under which might be quite difficult to watch at times (I've got six episodes to watch left, the last time I watched an episode was 4 months ago. I know that I'll inevitably feel depressed by the end of each episode) but its a brilliant show. I don't believe there is a more thought provoking drama out there and its a show that truly challenges the viewer and asks questions rather than insulting your intelligence.

''It shouldn't work at all. The central characters, the Fisher family, run a funeral home. Every episode starts with a death. They hold conversations with the deceased. It is, in short, a clattering bag of terrible ideas. In Alan Ball's hands it becomes a magnificent, bull-headed beast, tossing taboos on its horns as it goes. Death is real, life is messy, conflicts are frequently irreconcilable, sex is only rarely meaningful. It embraced the fact that, in life and death, people are complicated and only become more so as you get to know them. It should go in the pantheon of greats for creating Brenda Chenowith (played by Rachel Griffiths) alone – the single most richly drawn, beautifully nuanced, bewitching, *frustrating, *fabulous female character in modern television. Genius.''

I highly recommend a movie where a teenage girl is sent to a ''straight camp'' but I don't remember the the title
