TH?★★★★Yesterday I watched No Regret & The King and the Clown, today I'm gonna watch Bangkok Love Story =D and I just thought of making a list of what I've seen so far (to be updated constantly XD)
(13.12.08)
Added ratings!
(18.09.09)
Added various stuff :p
(SUBJECTIVE; it generally shows whether I liked the movie or not. Therefore it's doesn't necessarily show whether it was "good"; cause various stuff can be pleasurable, rite? ;) Still, high rating for a western one tends to mean it's a really good one. Imo it's still another level.
If you believe in my taste, than you can use the rating to consider watching ;)
★ - lousy
★★ - blah blah, liked smth about it but generally not my favourite
★★★ - okay, but not my favourite
★★★★ - liked it
★★★★★ - loved it
and bc sometimes I'm just not-sure, this is, for example, 4/5 - ★★★★★/★★★★, yes, in reverse XD (=> best things first :p)
Also marked my faves with an ♥
My fave one is ♥ (well, kinda two at the moment... weird :P ..kinda more.. so they're like faves-faves...? xD.
Okay. I'm not sure about my faves-faves......)
Faves could be of reasons like "Because Saitou is hot" :P
L - yuri (as - lots of content; not necessarily totally GL-themed as it seems)
A - asian (J - japanese, K - korean, HK - Hong Kong, TW - Taiwan, TH - Thailand, PH - Philippines)
LGBT - "mixed", based on the letters :p
T- mainly trans
and, since it's "LGBT-related"-
R - related, as with some subplot etc. (Sticking to wikipedia XD;) And surely not everything "related" I've seen in my whole life is listed here. There've been some wanky criminal movies or anything...
Those unmarked A.K.A. 80% - gay-themed when it comes to the most of them.
Updating the wikipedia links on everything... Maybe rottentomatoes ratings in the future.

- Road Movie A K ★★★★ (good movie, didn't fully get the ending... nevertheless ♥ Dae-Shik)
- Bungee Jumping Of Their Own A K ★★ (my comment - only Koreans could've make yaoi w/o yaoi)
- Boy Meets Boy (s) A K ★★★★ (hard to rate sucha short thing, but I think it's cute... and important ^^. Fairy's a bit(?) disturbing though.)
- Breakfast on Pluto ★★★★ (at last!) (good movie, very well-made, kinda fairytale-ish. I loved the colours ^^ Cillian's role was should I say... perfect? XD His character was more crazy then I imagined him to be, but he was really adorable and completely... outer-space-ish XD )
- Dream Boy ★★★★★ ♥ (I got to watch it!) (One of the best BL films I've watched. (as expected :P) Beautiful music, great shots (especially of nature) and to me - utterly sexy love scenes. (well, trailer reavealed it already... One negative aspect - well it left me all down... Very very sad, but the ending is beautiful (still) =( The main character is really depressing, but well it can't be any other way...
- Bad Education GBT
- Sommersturm
- Mysterious Skin
- Sebastian
- Death in Venice
- Elephant R
- Wild Tigers I Have Known
- Dorian Blues ★★★★ &hearts Best coming-out movie I've seen. And a pretty funny comedy too! XD
- After Sex ★★★ LGB
- Antique Bakery A K ★★★★ ♥
- Milk ★★★★★ &hearts I hadn't supposed it to be SO good. I watched it after Hellraiser, because I was a lil' freaked out and wanted to watch smth which may be, I dunno, heartwarming? And it was, it really was... The ending reminded me of movies about... saints, priests, popes? The atmosphere, the big words that were really meant. And I cried :( which is still rather rare of me. Sean Penn was absolutely great (and cute), I'm so glad he won an Oscar <3 Milk &hearts Ah, and, I also hadn't thought there'd be quite an amount of cuteBL scenes:D
- Brideshead Revisited ★★★
- Mannen som elsket Yngve ★★★ - sorry, I didn't get the ending (but I did get down). Not my type of film afterall (kinda sad teenage stories?), but it was nevertheless good and interesting, and good music! Must get soundtrack, which isn't easy. I must admit I'm disappointed with the bl thread, I was expecting smth different... Someone on wikipedia, please write more about the plot, maybe I'll get more that way :
- Were The World Mine ★★★★★ ♥ or ♥ x quote-ing myself from the day I've first watched it: brilliant! <3 and patrick wolf... just great (?) I haven't seen such a charming and fresh story for long!
- Idealny facet dla mojej dziewczyny L ★★★
- Loving Annabelle L ★★★★
- Kissing Jessica Stein L ★★ weird.
- Priscilla, Queen of the Desert ★★★★ Agent Smith as a cutey drag queen with a son... Priceless.
- The Hours L ★★★
- My Summer Of Love L ★★★★
- Brüno ★★★★★/★★★★
- Wilde ★★★★★/★★★★ &hearts It's really 4 and a half right now XD Somehow. And a ♥
- Another Country ★★★★ I'd watch any movie with Everett and Firth, and also a gay one... Not a surprise I was delighted to see it. Unfortunately my british-english-without-subs isn't good enough for this one. Re-watch needed if it ever appears on tv or torrent :P Nevertheless - good. Deep. One of the final scenes with main characters talking about homosexuality issues is quite unforgettable. Everett ♥
- The next best thing ★★★ I've heard critics hated it, but haven't known that they hated it SO much xD Well, I probably don't have any good taste in movies then, because well... I can't say I hated it. I've never seen another movie on this particular subject before and therefore it was interesting. What was lousy was shots, then, when come to think of it, acting in general, and ugly unknown men XD;; (but to me Everett wasn't bad or that bad :p, and charming as always. Maybe, as he said himself, he's not a good actor, but he just shows his impish, adorable and mean-in-a-charming-way self on screen??)
- Country Teacher ★★★/★★
- Rocky Horror Picture Show ★★★★★ ♥/♥ GBT
- Kiss Kiss Bang Bang ★★★★★/★★★★ ♥
- Beautiful Thing ★★★★
- Capote ★★★★
- Permanent Residence ★★★★ A HK The ending was weird... imo, disappointing. Still, the movie was generally nice... good may be a too big word, but I liked it [when to compare it with the next I've watched... yes, non-japanese bl movies are better. Cause japanese ones seem/are fangirl-only -_-' There should be some different category for them... When to think of it, when something's not on wikipedia, it's that kind of bl movie XD;;;]
- Asymmetry ★★★★/★★★ A J /★★★ for the ending which seemed... silly, possibly purely yaoi-avoiding(?) But well, I watched the movie raw (O_o ! XD) Generally as for japanese shounen-ai, it suprised me in a good way. Well at least in better than others I've watched lately. The actors could show emotions on their faces. Plus there was some kind of a real gay-life part, not mild schoolboys only. But hell, Shin was too much of a pretty girl.. >XD
- Maurice ★★★★ Early XX-century England and [SPOILER IN WHITE] a happy ending! plus utterly adorable Hugh Grant makes... Damn, my descriptions are so childish. Good movie, a well-constructed and well-played one... Doesn't make you disappointed after you finish watching it, which is kind of rare when it comes to this genre. And yes, Hugh Grant ;P (another british well-known actor~ waitin' for more~ XD [Since those two are kinda similar, I now wonder which one is better: Maurice or Another Country Need to rewatch the latter to decide.]
- Four Weddings and a Funeral R ★★★★ At first it seem just a overly cynical movie about constant weddings, but then it gets depper, and it gets good. Added because it had been on the mighty list XD but watched from different reasons.
- Boondock Saints R ★★★★
- Hedwig and the Angry Inch T ★★★★ I couldn't help comparing it with Rocky Horror (blame wikipedia, I shouldn't) ...well, not quite THAT fun. The slow ballad side of glam. I liked it, but didn't love it, (since) it seemed to lose pace towards the end... (And damn, Tommy Gnosis aka Michael Pitt reminded me of Jared Leto (mainly as Hephaeistion) so much... What's funny, his guitarist also reminded me of Jared Leto :p *from one movie I've only seen screencaps from* :p).
- Fingersmith L (and G xD x3) ★★★★ (7/10) The first part was rather engrossing, but the second one, having a more complicated plot, at the same time seemed chaotic to me and even boring at times. Still, Victorian-like England, thieves' intrigues and girl romance make an interesting story... with its mental insitutions, hangings to the neck and cruel uncles in prison-like halls... ;)
- Cruel Intentions R ★★★
- Wonder Boys ★★★★★/★★★★ &hearts Actually it's 9,5/10. It deserves ten though I guess, because it's really a good, unordinary, interesting movie, realistic and overly crazy at the same time - just like the life could be? They bl plot - I love so much I shouldn't write about it :P - even though all the relationships in this movie are sexless, which rather surprised me (Robert Downey Jr. is... is... so charminggg *yes, primitive fangirl taking over*). So maybe, let's move to the acting... which is great. I loved Michael Douglas, I loved Tobey Maguire (great performance... his James character is truly a one of its kind), and, as I said, Downey ('Crabtree... he just continued being Crabtree'). As a little writer myself, I was happy to watch a movie about writers - and learn from it a bit, and see that I have similar writing-issues... Oh boy. Again, like with Zodiac lately (Downey too lol) I hadn't expected it to be so good - afterall, it's certified fresh pic on rottentomatoes. Maybe actually I dp have a good taste :P And, last but not least - it leaves you with a warm, optimistic feeling [you can change your life], and that is a very good movie-quality.
- Black and White ★★★★ and ♥ for Robert Downey Jr. / ★★★ [how funny, those two movies were actually in the opposite order in Downey's career. And I watched this one just now, and Wonder Boys some time ago, 'bout 1,5 week It's an R but since the gay part was major, I count it xD xD So about the gay part... it was fabulous as Terry Donager. 100 and 1 percent [stereothypically?] gay. That is a wow. [omgg he so can act. Changed his voice almost, or like Philip Seymour Hoffman in "Capote". Besides this plot, the movie is "nice" (well in a "" because the word doesn't suit well the happenings in the film), but then, just as crtics say, in my words - is kind of like puzzles that don't really fit each other in the end. Some link between the random scenes is missing... Some point maybe... It's interesting though that this movie is based on improvisation. [hmmm...] Then I'd say it's a good one, but well, at the same time maybe that is one of the reasons why it's so messy. And a [SPOILER] James Toback is a genious! [and I knew it] Robert Downey Jr. and Jared Leto [holding hands] together at the end All shiny and stylish walking down the street with tonnes of shopping bangs hanging around them... I guess I went straight xD up to heaven that moment. And then repeated it and went there again.
- Galerianki/Mall Girls L ★★★/★★ Not so good. Very... polish.
- Dorian Gray 4/10/★★★ thanks to Mr. Firth as Henry (♥)
- The Talented Mr. Ripley 10/10/★★★★
- Sherlock Holmes [:p] 8/10 ★★★★★/★★★★ ♥ - of course, for Downey, and~ Downey & Law.
- Home for the Holidays ★★★★ Downey.
- A Single Man ★★★★ 8,5/10 Well it deserves 9 actually. Colin Firth, Nicholaus Hoult &hearts It wasn't exactly what I expected - but it's definitely one of those you need to watch at least twice. The music did deserve a Golden Globe... Well, at least it's breathtakingly beautiful.
- I Love You Phillip Morris ★★★★★ 9/10 ♥ [100th one! See it. Asap! It's great! One of the sweetest love stories ever, and one of the best gay movies ever! xD
- Scenes of a Sexual Nature ★★★ It reminds me of After Sex too much and isn't so engrossing... but yes, I've seen it to see gay Ewan McGregor for the fourth time. Some dialogues are worth it though.
