Alternative Film Guide less than a day ago
Colin Firth, Julianne Moore in A Single Man, directed by Tom Ford
What’s a "gay movie"?
Brokeback Mountain? Midnight Cowboy? What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Milk? Top Gun? Lukas Licks Lodz?
Something directed by a gay man, say, The Philadelphia Story or Midnight or a couple of the biggest action blockbusters made in the last decade or so? Something written for the screen by a gay man, say, A Streetcar Named Desire or The Innocents?

If you think about it, the label "gay movie" is pretty meaningless.
