Well one movie I forgot was Steel Magnolias....the lines from that movie I love...Just the other night I got to really sit down to watch it....lines like ..."You know I love you more than my luggage" ...or" I know you worship the quicksand I walk on"...timeless. And lets not forget..."If you've got nothing nice to say ...come sit by me"
Lots of fine movies here . . .
but my all-time favorites are always those John Waters film featuring Divine: Polyester, Pink Flamingoes, Female Trouble and Hairspray. They may not necessarily be gay-themed films, but the mere presence of Divine casts a large gay shadow all by itself, and certainly there is a gay sensibility to all of them.
"I'd be so happy if you was nellie!" <--- Ida Nelson (Edith Massey), lamenting that her hairdresser nephew is straight.

Devine/Edith Massey
Back in the late 70's,I lived in Fell's Point.An old town on Baltimore's Harbor.I was good friends with Devine as well as Edith Massey!Edith managed a thrift store,Pink Flamingos directly cattacornered across from my house on Broadway,the main street in Fell's Point.I would take my borderline collie,Max,over and he loved Edith!She owned a HUGE orange tabby cat and kept her on a leash.The cat sat on the counter and was not to be pet by straingers,she'd scratch,hiss and bite them.John Waters,After Hairspray's release,would sign hundreds of cans of Aqua-Net haispray and Edith sold them for $8/can.All proceeds went to A.I.D.S reseach.
Devine could be a real bitch if she had enough to smoke or sniff or drink!I was lucky to be one of her chosen friends and she'd call me to go thifting or try to start some trouble with randomly sellected victims!When she died,I was so depressed because,unlike most people who claimed to know her,I knew her before she got to be so popular.Devine's fame though never made her change our friendship.She was sorry to see me leave Fell's Point and move downtown but would call or stop over to "catch a buzz"on the weekend just before my friends and I would get ready and go out "twirling and whirling"on the dance floor of the "Hippo"a great gay club on E.Eager and Charles St.Numeous times,Devine would be "lit"and go to the Eager St.side of the Hippo and lowdly read people putting them in their place whether they liked it or not.I remember one night,she was all dolled up and looked quite severe.She heard a customer at the Hippo say she looked like a fairy in he momo outfit!She waisted no time spiining around to face this unknown twink saying"Fairy!!You say I'm a fairy??!!Than poof you little bitch!,Now you're a pile of shit!"The entire room of queers went histerric in laughter and the person who made the mistake of trying to read Miss Thang,melted into nothingness.What a blast!

Bearcub (Spanish-language movie about a bear ending up caring for his nephew)
I liked the first minute or two of "Bearcub" but it hardly suggested what the rest of the film would be like.
Really liked "The Opposite of Sex."

The first gay themed films I have ever seen were "My beautyful Laundrett" and "An early frost"
My favorites are BBM and Angels in America.
Not sure if "Cat on a hot tin roof" is gay enough to get on the list, but it`t another favorite.

What...nobody saw this?
"Sordid Lives" played at the same theatre here in Palm Springs for two years. It's really such a fun film. Delta Burke is at her best. Bonnie Bedelia is excellent. Leslie Jordan is even better as "Brother Boy" than his "Beverly Leslie" character on "W&G." Make sure you stay for the suprise ending after the credits.
