i feel quite 'happy' after watching cos firstly there's no death and secondly, the courage of the 'bottom' to out the closet rather than the 'top' who doesnt have the courage to admit himself, tho ironically, i agree it takes lots of courage for someone his 'status' to come into term with himself.
I got a copy of SOLO, Pleasure Factory and Bugis Street.
Pleasure Factory and Bugis street is really nice.. shows the explicit scenes:).. yet there is proper storyline.. Bugis street is really worth watching. Shows the life of transvestises..
Gt it from this singaporean guy at S$20 per movie +3bucks registered postage! Its worth compared ordering from amazon! hehe ~
the trick to sussing out whether a gay movie is worth watching or not is to view the cover of the dvd box. if it shows a hot semi-naked guy with rippling abs, avoid. they are usually CRAP. ditto for gay novels.
watch Salo. It's NOT gay per se but it is disturbing.
LanYu's dvd box also dun have half naked guys but still sucks big time.

Not movie.....but korean drama serial....shown in S.korea starting march 2010. The gay part is not the main story (which is more about family ties)...but enough to become a major following plot for many gays over there. Since showing on tv, probably won't have bed scene...but the focus on the gay theme (the depth going into the char's feelings etc) is considered rare enough for korean TV serials.
The 2 chars are not youngsters....one is a doctor, the other a photographer (who is really hunky from some scenes). I'm not sure about how their story goes. Will google more if got time.
It's hard to find a good movie with a homosexual theme. Most are very mediocre and are basically badly acted shite, eg, movies like Eating Out, etc. Asian ones tend to bank on young smooth skinned doe eyed boys. Ick.
Let's see, gay movies I enjoy are: Bad Education, Velvet Goldmine, Farewell My Concubine and Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
