7 More Gay Movies You Need To See

So though the facebook page linked to this account is updated almost daily, I thought it was time I posted another entry of Gay Movies Every Gay Man Should See

Here is my list of movies that EVERYONE should see.

1. Private Romeo

A retelling of Romeo and Juliet, it adapts this timeless tale of star crossed lovers to a boy's military academy. They find clever ways of intertwining the original text in, having them begin by reading Romeo and Juliet in class. As can be expected the boy playing Romeo falls for the Juliet in a rival clique. I'd say stay tuned for the happy ending but unless you didn't cover that one in high school (or have never heard of one of the most famous plays of all time) you'd know this falsehood for what it was.

2. 9 Dead Gay Guys

A gay comedy deals with murder in London in a tight-knit gay community. The protagonists are two straight boys from Ireland who've found that doing a little work under the table can be considered "highly lucrative, legitimate work" in their own words. Unintentionally, find themselves involved with the string of dead gay guys. Hilarious, this slightly-raunchy (but clean) comedy will have you guessing, which gay guy in the movie will be next?

3. Make the Yuletide Gay

I have a tendency to hate Christmas themed movies wish a passion (don't know why I just do) but this one surprised me. The story centers on a college student who is out of the closet (and then some) at school but not out to his parents yet. He decided to tell his parents the truth when his boyfriend shows up unexpectedly. Besides being hilarious, this movie has a raw authenticity in portraying the anxiety that can be build before coming out to family.

4. Strapped

The tale of hustler who no particular agenda except to find adventure, he wanders the halls of a maze-like building. Each person he meets hears a different story of who he is and why he's there, creating a shifting picture of the boy, changing with each retelling. He meets everyone from the just out of the closet gay, queeny drug-fueled gay, the married man, an old man, and a sweet writer. Through each adventure you glean little bits of the person underneath, glimpsing what he's trying to hide underneath. It dares you to consider the masks we put on when we meet different people and what masks they're wearing when they meet us.

5. Were the World Mine

A musical adaption of Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream", it focuses on a boy who suddenly finds himself with the power to make someone love him. While initially only meant for the boy he has a crush on, he eventually uses it on a large portion of the homophobic home town. Filled with hilarious misadventures, the boys, girls, men, and women of the town find their world turned upside down. The alone music itself it. So if you're browsing through Netflix, or whatever, check this one out!

6. The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green

The weird tale of Ethan Green, the storyline jumps back and forth between his various relationships (and how later on they all collide). His ex-boyfriend is getting married, while his various hookups/exes seem to flow in and out of the storyline. Though most of his problems are of his own making, you can't help rooting for the guy.

7. Undertow

This is the adorable supernatural romance that had me close to tears. The focus of the film is on a man, his pregnant wife, and the secret boyfriend. They all live on a small island with a strict culture and stricter traditions.The tradition that plays the biggest part is that if someone dies without a proper island burial, their ghost wanders the earth forever. When the boyfriend's boat goes down at sea, his ghost continues to follow him. Strangely the two continue their strange supernatural romance even as he searches for his friends body to give a proper goodbye. Truly a love story that carries on beyond the grave, this is one of my favorite movies of all time.
