Reply #21: What was the worst?

[Atman]

I mean, "the best gay-themed film I ever saw" is hardly a glowing endorsement. How many are there, at least, films that make it to the multiplex instead of directly to cable or the video store?

I just watched that Maggie Gyllenhaal flick, "Happy Endings," the other night. Very good movie, and while it wasn't a "gay film" in the way Brokeback is, gay is a big theme in the movie. I've seen several gay-themed art-house type films just in the last year, a most were pretty good. But, I think if you are going to go to investors with a gay-themed project, it had better damned well be good, otherwise it isn't going to get funded anyway. Therefore, the quality of this genre tends to be a bit higher than your average Adam Sandler flick anyhow.

But I don't really know. I'm just makin' it up as I go along, just like life!
