Comments: On this list, 1996 is "beautiful"

Things) ranked first. This is a gay first love story. Like more first love stories between the two sexes, the hazy and sincere innocence of the film touches everyone's heartstrings. The description of reality in the film is also true and natural, without affectation, mystery or fuss. It just tells a sincere and pure feeling peacefully, and it is worthy of being the top grade of gay films.

Binding 1996 (also translated "Dare to Love Steal" and "Wild Flowers")

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. In order to cheat money, they sow discord between themselves. Unexpectedly, all plans backfired and subtle feelings began to ferment between them. The development of everything, under the mixed fault of crime, escape and * *, is gradually in crisis and out of control.

Comments: Although the next film "The Matrix" directed by the Wachowski brothers is more powerful, I prefer this exquisite and charming little production. 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 broke the traditional narrative structure.

The whole story is full of surprises, and the director's delicate handling of the turning point in the relationship between the two heroines makes this film different from traditional crime movies and adds a lot of tension. At that time, it was not difficult to see that the future of two young directors would be bright.

Boys don't cry 1999 (also translated as no choice to cry)

Plot: This is a true story that happened in a suburban town in Nebraska. Teena brandon, a girl who wants to be a boy.

Finally, he turned himself into a strange boy, Brandon Tina. But what followed was a bitter nightmare filled with sweetness. She succeeded in disguising her gender,

Fall in love with another girl Lana and help Lana's friend John.

And Tom, so they are regarded as partners 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. ......

Comments: This is a very successful and widely recognized gay film. It not only won the Best Actress Award at the 72nd Academy Awards and the Best Actress Award at the 57th Golden Globe Awards in the United States, but also won numerous awards at several European film festivals. Although director Pierce didn't express it clearly, what we can feel in every scene is Teena's strong desire to be a man. The film's tragic depiction of psychological gender confusion, or transsexuality, reflects a far-reaching spiritual leap in the pursuit of freedom of will.

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

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.

Comments: The theme of love and war reflected in this film has gone beyond the times and regionality of the background: Britain is responsible for the invasion of Northern Ireland, and the Irish Republican Army is also responsible for too many assassinations. As long as there are wars and disputes in the world, people will face death and love will be destroyed. Only true love that transcends everything can save this ruined world. At the end of the movie, Deere went to the prison to visit Fergus, who was serving his sentence as a scapegoat. Fergus finally atoned, and he finally fell in love with Dill completely. Although they faced the barrier of prison, they got rid of the burden after all. All they have left is love and hope. It can be said that this is almost the most touching scene in all gay movies. Deere repeated this sentence many times.

This is my nature, seemingly simple, but it has incomparable significance to homosexuality and transsexuality.

Ghost 1998

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 skeleton Clay-Betty also thinks there is a strange feeling between Clay and Wheeler. ......

Comments: The movie has a real protagonist. Famous for the Frankenstein series is director James Wheeler. Of course, this touching and elegant biography is full of fiction. Ian McKellen?, who plays James Wheeler, is also an openly gay actor, which may help his meticulous performance. Audiences of different sexual orientations can see different stories from the film: heterosexuals are from the perspective of gardener Clay or housekeeper Hannah, while homosexuals should stand in Wheeler's position. 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 far from smooth sailing in reality.

Go fishing 1994

Plot: Max is a fashionable and beautiful gay girl, but she can't find a suitable lover. A friend of hers is going to fix 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 to love" is full of obstacles. ......

Comments: As we all know (but not necessarily true), a big difference between women and men is that women are more social. They like to share their trifles and chat at will; Men talk more to solve practical problems. So in the eyes of my male audience, this low-cost independent black-and-white film was selected for this list, which must be strongly recommended by the female judges (I wonder if there are any judges, hehe). I didn't see anything good myself. This film about dating, * * and romance between lesbians is very everyday, almost like a record, with too many broken mouths. I believe it truly depicts the life of lesbians-that is, a group of women together. Even shaving an inch can't change a woman's nature. The director and the star are same-sex couples. They broke up in the middle of the movie, but they still insisted on finishing the movie together.

Advanced artworks 1998

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.

Comments: This film has excellent visual effects. It seems that every shot has been carefully designed, and the composition, color and lighting give people a cool feeling. Without a lot of deliberate performance, the play is very real, which is probably a matter of opinion. There are many scenes of drug abuse in the film, and the tone of decadent life is probably arranged, but it looks dirty and disgusting. The depressing tragic ending shows the director's purpose: whatever the sexual relationship is, it will be a mess under the influence of ambition, drug addiction and decadent life.

Long-term partner 1990

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.

Comments: This art film released in 1990 is the first film with AIDS as a positive theme in the United States (you are more familiar with the Philadelphia Story starring Tom Hanks in 1993, which was named as "the earliest commercial film dealing with AIDS"). Some views in the film are obviously too optimistic. With a short story, let us believe that in 1984, a complete and profound male kissing scene appeared in a TV soap opera. This film closely describes people's real reaction to the "gay plague" on themselves or others, and its significance in the history of gay movies is obviously far greater than its significance as a film alone.

Heterosexual 1998

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?

Comments: 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. I always feel overwhelmed and the theme is not clear enough to be selected into the top ten gay movies. Indeed, unpredictability is the greatest pleasure of this comedy, but most people will probably regard it as a normal entertainment film and will not realize that it is a "gay movie", will they?

Pastor 1994, pastor comrade

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. After the matter was reported in the newspaper, it immediately caused an uproar. ......

Comments: Linking the clergy with * *, there was Almodova's Nuns Love Madness in the 1980s, but it was a subversive film that took nothing seriously. 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 with the social heterogeneity of homosexual love. The discussion process is also extremely serious and simple. This is a strange and enlightening film.
