Female Trouble Honorable mention: Partners I have listed actual subject matter, but for sensibilities, one can't go wrong with Elivra: Mistress Of The Dark - 88', many of John Waters films where gay isn't exactly at the forefront like Polyester - 82', Serial Mom - 94' and Pecker - 98'. Not to mention one of the gayest Hollywood films ever which many of the herd wouldn't click with Top Gun - 86'.

Brokeback Mountain The Handmaiden Dog Day Afternoon Rebel Without a Cause My Own Private Idaho Mulholland Dr Bound The Birdcage Philadelphia Gods and Monsters 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?" |

Of course, Elvira! I love the movie and its main character. I have no idea what women feel about the character. I assume - at the very least - that they find her harmless as there is something about Elvira and the way she presents her own unique brand of sexiness that is not egotistical or arrogant. Elvira is, without a doubt, absolutely sexy as all get out. And even with the over the top style and hair, etc., she is a beautiful woman. But she never takes herself too seriously. In addition to all her other appealing qualities, this would almost have to be her trump card. I do know, however, that guys - gay and straight alike - adore Elvira. And I think one big reason is because Elvira is sexual in a way that is actually very masculine. Most women are coy and use their feminine wiles to make a man become interested. Not so with Elvira! She's as direct as they come! She loves men, she loves sex and she makes no boners about it! I also think that Cassandra Peterson understands a guy's sense of humor (i.e., silliness) very well. Maybe she even relates to men better than she does to women. And I also don't believe I've ever seen a woman checking out a guy's (big) butt the way Elvira checks out Bob's. I never really thought that women were all that attracted to guys' butts. And CERTAINLY not guys with big butts! Bob was a stud! So, that part absolutely seemed gay! I also like "To Wong Foo: Thanks for everything, Julie Newmar" very, very much. It is so good-natured and sweet, with likable, warm characters in it and is often very funny. |

It was not as boring and there was real sensuality in it. My friend liked Timothee in it, whereas I liked Archie better. It's nice not to fight with your friend over make believe characters. |

My criteria was basically anything with a gay main protagonist. Mineo's character in Rebel was as gay as mainstream 50s media would allow.
