Ok. so like I said before. We are at the bottom of the barrel here. Pretty much if the word gay is used in a movie, it's on my list and I watch it. ugh.
Here are a few recently watched.
Lost and Delirious. A story about a very naive girl (Mischa Barton) who is sent to boarding school. She of course gets a room assignment with 2 of the schools craziest girls. (Piper Perabo being one of them)
The two crazy girls are in a relationship with one another. Mischa's character becomes friends with the girls.
The one crazy is caught in bed with the other crazy and the threat to be outed pulls her away. Piper freaks and.....I won't give away the ending.
My review : considering I was at the bottom of the bucket, this one was ok. I think it was situationally realistic and the girls are cute. :)
(now please don't ask me..."where have you been ?" with this one)
Iris. This was one that I'd heard about when it came out but never got around to watching it. There was one scene in which the young Iris (Kate Winslet) didn't confirm or deny being gay. That's it for the gay scenes. :)
BUT, for those who haven't seen this movie. It really is a great story about dementia. I believe both Judi Dench (old Iris) and Kate Winslet were nominated for Oscars for this movie. I can see why. GREAT acting.
Kate floats around naked in a lake a bunch in this movie. Maybe that's why they listed it under the gay movies. a little tits and ass for the lesbian crowd. whatever.
My review : I really enjoyed this movie. Judi Dench and Kate Winslet rocked their roles. Sweet and tragic story.
Red is the Color of. Movie about a couple, both artists, who seem to have a very strong and loving relationship until the husbands sexy nude model comes between them.
She comes on to the wife. and the husband. (thus the lesbian tag. oh wait...maybe it's because you see the nude model...I don't know)
Nothing happens with the wife and the girl. Something happens between the husband and the model. the end.
My review : again, if you are going to watch them all. It wasn't terrible...it just wasn't good.
Next are a few of the movies that I watched because they were my only link to lesbians when I came out. The only thing I had to relate to them. Other than driving to the gay bars and sitting in the parking lot with my girlfriend so that we could watch the lesbians coming out of the bar to see what a lesbian looked like :) We seriously did this.
Claire of the moon. Oh bless it. I LOVE this movie. It is poorly written. there is bad acting. but there is something so great about the story that keeps it as one deer and near to my heart.
My review : how can you call yourself a lesbian and not have seen Claire of the Moon. Go out right now and watch it. Or I'll pull your card. :)
When night is Falling. GREAT movie. Good acting. The lesbian looks like a black Angelina to me a little. HOT. and with this whole dark circus thing...how could you go wrong.
My review : how can you call yourself a lesbian and not own this movie. Go out and buy it right now or I'll pull your card. :)
Desert Hearts. Stars Helen Shaver.....and I have to say I STILL have a crush on her after this movie.
Audra Lindley is also in this movie. Remember her from Three's Company. Takes place in 1950's when a professor, Vivian (Helen) goes to a ranch in Nevada to get a divorce. The ranch owners daughter is a lesbian and soon wins her friendship and more.
My review : super great movie. huge crush on Helen Shaver and her pant suits in this movie.
The incredibly True Adventure of 2 girls in love. Great movie about 2 high school friends, from two very different backgrounds, who find love. SO cute. One of the reasons I chose not to believe that Laurel Holloman (from the L-word) is straight today. She plays little butch girl REALLY good.
My review : Buy this movie. so cute.
Better than Chocolate. A story about a girl who's mother (Wendy Crewson) and brother move in with her hours after she meets the woman of her dreams. They don't know she's gay though and only more drama unfolds through the little town they live in. with a transgender falling in love with the lesbian bookstore owner and the men who blow it up.
My review : Buy this movie. great movie.
I hope I have been of some service to you with the listing and reviewing of these films. Please feel free to list any that you recommend that I may not have seen. Sometimes walking blindly in to these movies isn't always fun.
P.S. If you haven't already gone to see It's Complicated go now. no really. go ! now !
and then lets poke some smot and talk about it.
