Movies of the Week : Gay/Drag queen films

Hello my loves!

How have you been doing these past days??? I hope excellent.

   I am really happy right now, because i am about to write a post about a subject that i really like! Gay and drag queen films. I am not gay myself nor i have gay friends but i am gay-friendly and i really enjoy these movies. I find them to be happy and relaxing (note, in the movies that follow not all films are happy and relaxing). So i thought this Sunday to make a list of some of my favorite gay films.

BONUS!
Before we start i will post a gay (with the literal meaning) song to put us into mood



And now the movies briefly are :




  • Another Gay Movie


Genre: Gay , Comedy
Duration: 1,5 hours
Year: 2006

What a funny, colourful and weird film! Weird meaning that a lot of uncommon things happen just like the american pie movies.
The story is about 4 gay friends that have just finished school and are about to go to college. They never have had a relationship before, and so they decide to make the best out of their summer, placing a bet that everybody must meet somebody this summer. And that's were all the good stuff start to happen........
I really enjoyed it but i must warn you that it contains some nudity. Not extreme nudity,  but nudity non the less. Also there are a lot sex hints and conversations in this movie, so if you feel offended don't watch it.
If not, i feel it's a nice movie to watch with friends and can guarantee you some moments of laugh.

Hint: I would recommend it only if you are over 16/18 years old  




  • Another Gay sequel

Genre: Gay , Comedy
Duration: 1,5 hours and a liiiiiitle bit more
Year: 2008

It is the sequel of the previous movie and it follows the same logic. Funny, colourful, gay themed, weird things happening.
This time, after the 4 boys have had an awesome summer last time, this summer they decide to go on a gay competition and challenge their luck.
I didn't enjoy this movie as the previous one, nor it's humor. It's not a masterpiece that you must see, nor a decent sequel that you should watch. If for whatever reason though you night need a gay movie to watch, it is a choice.

Hint : Again as i recall it, there exist sexual innuendos  






  • Any Day Now

Genre: Gay , Drama , Court
Duration: 1,5 hours

Year: 2012

I didn't have the chance to see this film only i randomly happen to see its trailer on imdb. For that reason i cannot give you my opinion on this one, but from the trailer i can tell its going to be a great film.
A great plus (from my point of view) is the handsome protagonist ;)      (he also has played Nightcrawler from the X-men 2 movie)













  • Keillers Park

Genre: Gay , Drama
Duration: 1,5 hours
Year: 2006


My oh my. What a depressive movie. When i remember it i want to cry :(
I don't want to spoil it for you guys so i won't get into more detail. Briefly the plot is about a grown man that just realizes he is gay and starts a relationship with an open gay. Their relationship faces the critique of society as well as other weird things happen.
It isn't a too tough film to watch but not a plain one either. If you want something more lighthearted pick another choice. 









  • Eyes Wide Open

Genre: Gay , Drama
Duration: 1,5 hours
Year: 2009

Another serious film.
It is about the father of a strict jewish family that works as a butcher. One day a fugitive young man asks of him for a job/shelter and so he gets to stay at the butcher shop. As days pass by their coexistence evolves, leading to results that change both their lives. The dark part of this film is again the critique of society and the strictness of judaism.
Very beautiful film, with a deeper meaning, which with no second thoughts, i suggest watching.










  • Connie and Carla

Genre: Gay/Drag , Comedy
Duration: 1,5 hours and a bit
Year: 2004

And now my dears time for the drag queen films!!!
This one is about two childhood friends that witness a murder and in order not to get caught by the murderers, they run away to Los Angeles and take undercover as drag queens.
While in drag, they make new friends, ........fall in love and become a dinner-theater success.   
This movie is definitely easy and fun to watch with the whole family.












  • The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Dessert


Genre: Gay/Drag , Comedy , Drama
Duration: 1,5 hours and a bit
Year: 1994


Ahhhhhh memories........This has got to be my first gay themed movie. I believe it was the one that started my love for these kind of films.
I think that this movie is a drag queen classic. With impressive costumes and make up, many drag queen shows during the film and a perfect cast! (Hugo Weaving plays in this film)
It is really entertaining and i really suggest you give it a try. It is also suitable for the whole family.












   Closing today's post i leave you with a clip/song from the movie Priscilla: Queen of the desert that will leave a smile on your face and give you a taste of the film.




Until next time my loves
Kisses and a paw

And don't forget, i am always happy to read your own opinions and suggestions!
