Recently I've watched:
"Beautiful Thing"- Hettie MacDonald.

After reading a couple of "best gay coming of age films" lists I saw that beautiful was mentioned quite a few times. So I wrote on my list of movies to watch (it's quite a long list). I checked it out on Rotten Tomatoes, it had a 90% rating so I was expecting some great things. Overall I really liked it, there's something about young British teenagers trying to find out their sexuality that really makes a great movies.
I didn't really have any expectations for this film, the end result of it was bad dialogue mixed with a couple of awkward scenes and a few off acting moment. The actually story was quite cute but it could have been pulled off a lot better but with that said it could have been done a lot worse.

I watched a gay short film, "A little bit of Comfort"
It's french so you have to watch it with subtitles. It's quite graphic in comparison to the other films. There's more boy on boy action and it is way more sex based. Still it was cute and had a some-what good story line.
I thought this movie was utterly amazing. It's based on a true story and it just makes you wanna cry. It's based around the life of a gay boy- Bobby who is apart of an extremely religious family, who view homosexuality as a sin. He struggles with coming out to his parents and being forced into being "cured". This film gives the true understanding of being gay and christian. It shows you that it is not a sin to be gay and that it accepted by god and nothing to be a shamed of.
(Still from Prayers for Bobby)
I still have more Gay films on my list to watch
including:
- Shelter
- The curiosity of Chance
- Latter Days
- Sugar
- The most unfabulous social life of Ethan Green
