I thought about "Dog Day Afternoon", and I do love the movie, but i guess I didn't think it was "gay" enough.

I liked "Bound". Jennifer Tilly can do no wrong. "Gods and Monsters" was a good movie. (Brendan Fraser! What an all-around doll!) I couldn't get into "Philadelphia" at all. "Brokeback Mountain" is done well enough, but I find it boring and bland. It is (very) effective as a sad movie. It is utterly sad, heartbreaking, but just being a really sad movie isn't enough for me. Though Heath Ledger is excellent.

I never thought of "Rebel Without a Cause" as gay in any way. Can I assume you find it gay because of Sal Mineo and/or his character?

I thought Sal Mineo was very effective in the underrated "Who Killed Teddy Bear?"

The moroseness of Brokeback and the lack of passion in the film, a gay themed film made by straights for straights, really doesn't gel with me. Same with the cheesy Philadelphia. I don't buy Tom Hanks for one moment and he grates on me here and I don't usually mind him as an actor. Way too heavy handed.

Demme dropped the ball and became a typical lefty virtue signaller here, due to the inexplicable flack he copped by some snowflakes over the Transgender thematic content of Silence Of The Lambs.
