What are the top ten gay movies in the 1990s selected by Entertainment Weekly?

1. Beautiful things 1995 (also translated as "the more you love, the more beautiful")

Director: Sidi MacDonald

Starring Glen Berry Grennberg,

Scott Neal, Scott Neal,

Linda Henry Linda Henry

Plot: Jamie is not good at sports and is not very popular with his classmates at school. He lives in a residential area in southeast London with his mother who runs a bar. Going to school and being busy with a confused young man's mother are his two biggest headaches; And his neighbor Stie is an energetic and likable handsome guy. But Steve's brother and alcoholic father often beat him. One day, Steve was beaten up again and had to be taken to Jamie's house for the night. They sleep in the same bed, head to foot, foot to foot. Jamie began to feel that he was in love with Stie, and because Stie's name was beaten, he spent more and more time at Jamie's house … and then they had to face the dilemma of not being known by outsiders.

A very simple and peaceful movie. Tells the story of gay first love, beautiful and pure. Describe a hazy but sincere feeling with natural brushstrokes. I believe reading it will change some people's views on comrades. They just live a simple life like ordinary people. The film has no affectation or fuss, and the narrative is smooth and gentle, which is really excellent.

2 Bound Bound 1996 (also translated "Bold Love and Careful Stealing" and "Wild Flowers")

Directed by andy wachowski, the Wachowski brothers &; larry wachowski

Starring: gina gershon

Jenny Fortelli Jennifer Tilly

Plot: Gao Qi, a gloomy woman released from prison, has enviable stunts; Willa, the mistress of Mafia eldest brother, was bent on getting rid of the current mood of life and planned to defraud the Mafia of two million dollars, so the two women began a dangerous cooperative relationship. They sow discord in order to cheat money, but they didn't expect all their plans to backfire. However, subtle feelings began to ferment between them, and all the development, under the mixed fault of crime, escape and sex, gradually fell into crisis and could not be controlled.

Two sexy women, one wild and the other cunning, are independent women who don't trust men and criminals who resist the laws and regulations of men's world. The film breaks the traditional narrative structure and makes the whole story full of surprises, and the director's delicate handling of the turning point of the relationship between the two heroines also makes this film different from the traditional crime film and adds a lot of tension.

3 boys don't cry 1999 (also translated as the choice of not crying)

Director: Campbell Pierce Kimberly Pierce

Starring: Hilary Swank Hilary Swank

Chlo Sevigny Chloe Sevigny

Plot: This is a true story that happened in a suburban town in Nebraska. Teena brandon, a girl who wanted to be a boy, finally turned herself into a strange boy, Brandon Tina. But what followed was a bitter nightmare filled with sweetness. She successfully disguised her gender, fell in love with another girl Lana, and helped Lana's friends John and Tom, so she was regarded as a partner by boys. But when her true gender was discovered, all the happiness and happiness left her forever. Her deception pushed her into the whirlpool of destruction. ...

Needless to say, most people should have seen it and won many awards: not only the Best Actress Award in the 72nd Academy Awards, the Best Actress Award in the 57th Golden Globe Awards in the United States, but also many awards in many European film festivals. But to tell you the truth, I felt very uncomfortable when I first saw it. It won't make gay people beautiful, it won't make you sick, it will only make you uncomfortable. I think the director wants to lead the audience to the level of thinking in this way. In fact, this film's tragic portrayal of psychological gender confusion or transsexuality does reflect a far-reaching spiritual leap in the pursuit of freedom of will.

4 The crying game 1992 (also translated into Gone with the Wind)

Director: neil jordan neil jordan

Starring: Stephen Ray Stephen Rea

Jaye Davidson Jaye Davidson

Plot: Fergus is a member of the Irish Republican Army. His task now is to look after the kidnapped British black soldier Jody and wait for the right time to exchange him for his comrades detained by the British government. The detention place is a remote mountain village. Sooner or later, they talk about everything from racial prejudice to national independence. In this conversation, Fergus and Jody became bosom friends. Later, Jody died while running away. The Fergus traitor organization came to London, found the girlfriend mentioned by Diljody, and fell in love with this sexy long-haired beauty. When he approached Deere, he found that Deere was not a woman.

This film transcends the era and regional background and profoundly reflects the theme of love and war. At the end of the film, I want to cry every time I think about it. Deere came to the prison to visit Fergus who was serving his sentence. They finally surpassed all the shackles and burdens and fell in love completely. But in the face of the barrier of prison, all they have left is love and hope. Deere's My Nature, repeated many times, seems simple, but it has unparalleled significance to homosexuality and transsexuality.

5 Genie 1998

Director and screenwriter: bill condon bill condon

Actor: Ian McLean Ian McKellen

Brendan Fisher brendan fraser

Lynn Regler Lynn Redgrave

Plot: The young gardener claiborne discovers that his new employer, James Wheeler, is a famous Hollywood director. So when Wheeler asked Clay to be a model for this painting, Clay was flattered. He just doesn't know what attracted the old man. Hannah is Wheeler's housekeeper. At first, she hired Clay, but now this combination worries her. And the old picture frame-Betty of Clay also feels that there is a strange feeling between Clay and Wheeler. ...

The protagonist of the movie is gay in life. In this film, audiences with different sexual orientations may see different stories: heterosexuals are from the perspective of gardener Clay or housekeeper Hannah, while homosexuals should stand in Wheeler's position. However, the film is not to separate these two groups of people with different sexual orientations, but to clarify how they can coexist peacefully-although it is really difficult in reality.

6 "Go fishing" Go fishing 1994

Director: Ross Chuck Rose Troche

Starring: Guinevere Turner &; Brody

Plot: Max is a fashionable and beautiful gay girl, but she can't find a suitable lover. A friend of hers plans to set her up with Yili. Yili is older and a tacky housewife. Max likes her, but they really don't have much in common So this "road of love" is full of obstacles. ...

Real female movies. The director is also a woman, and she is a lover with the heroine, although she broke up in the middle of the performance. Although seemingly trivial, it truly reflects women's psychology, desires and demands. But if you want to find deeper meaning in the film, I'm afraid it's difficult. I didn't find it anyway. It is said that many male critics don't like this film.

7 "The Art of Orgasm" Elegant Art 1998

Director: Lisa Klodenko lisa cholodenko

Starring: radha mitchell radha mitchell

Ali Sidi ally sheedy

Plot: Syd, the female editor of Pictorial, is dissatisfied with her career and love (with her boyfriend), so she gloomily soaks in the bathtub and sees the leaking ceiling. She went upstairs to ask and met Lucy, who used to be a famous photographer and still explores the art of photography by herself. West Germany gradually entered Lucy's small circle, which brought her not only avant-garde photography art, but also drugs and same-sex love with Lucy.

Personally, I feel that there are too many descriptions of drugs in it, but I ignore the comrades' own expressions. The life inside is a bit chaotic and decadent, but the visual enjoyment of the film, the processing skills of pictures and light and shadow are excellent. Tragic ending, but I hope everyone can understand that decadent and drug-addicted life destroyed them. The more accurate you aim, the darker it will be. No explanation. Let's see for ourselves. ...

8 Long-term partner 1990

Director: Norman René

Starring: Bruce Davison Bruce Davison

Campbell scott campbell scott

Brian cousins

Plot: The film describes the homosexual life before and after the spread of AIDS as early as 1980. The title of the film refers to the name of his (her) closest lover when a homosexual dies.

This art film is the first American film with an active theme of AIDS. Although it is handled optimistically, it closely describes the real reaction of people facing the "gay plague" to themselves or others, and its significance in the history of gay movies is obviously far greater than that of being a movie alone.

9 "Heterosexual Edge" Heterosexual Edge 1998

Directed by Don Luce don roos.

Starring: Christina Reese christina ricci

Martin Donovan

Lisa Kudla lisa kudrow

Plot: 16-year-old rebellious girl Didi's stepfather died. She lived with her half-brother and gay middle school teacher Bill, and soon seduced Bill's boyfriend Matt. Soon Didi announced that she was pregnant and disappeared with Matt. At the same time, Bill was accused by Matt's ex-lover of misbehaving at school, which attracted media attention. Things are getting messy. Who is the real father of the baby in Didi's womb?

Is this a gay movie? Entertainment Weekly said yes. This is a suspense movie, involving heterosexuality, homosexuality, incest, revenge and other elements. The protagonist is a dangerous girl who vows to ruin the lives of everyone around her. In fact, it is an entertainment film, which sounds a lot of gimmicks. You can still watch it if you are interested.

10 pastor, pastor comrade 1994

Director: antonia Bird antonia bode

Starring: Li Ning Rocky linus roache

Robert carlyle, Robert Ahmed Khalil

Plot: Gap Kington is a young, handsome and energetic priest. He came to a typical British industrial town with a chaotic environment and a scattered population, filled with the sacred duty of saving people's hearts. The residents of this chaotic town are of low quality, difficult to educate and upset. Gap often goes to gay bars to kill time and drown his sorrows. On this day, he met a man, Angus Charles Graham. After a night of passion, Gap is still full of nostalgia for him. Soon, when they were dating Angus Charles Graham, they were found kissing in the car by the patrol and found that Gap was a priest. They suddenly became angry when it was disclosed in the newspaper. ...

This film not only controversially combines homosexual love with priests, but also combines the spirit of kindness and fraternity in Christianity with homosexual love, and combines the spirit of original sin in Christianity with the social heterogeneity of homosexual love. The discussion process is also extremely serious and simple. This is a strange and enlightening film, which should not be missed.
