Truer Words Never Spoken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But What Exactly Is A Gay Film??????????????????????????????

                          To start with, a gay film is not porn.  That is something else altogether.

                          The other day, while musing on those Criterion Closet video shorts, I came up with a list of several categories--Gay Films, Art Films, and New York Films.  Oh, and yes, Hitchcock.  The idea is to watch each film on each list and write about it on here.

                           This may take some time, because I am assembling those I do not own from Amazon, and until they arrive, I cannot begin.  However, I can start by giving you the Gay Film List.  In all lists, they will be assembled in the order of year made.  So, here goes--

                                                           Gay Films                                                                                                                                                   1. "Bringing Up Baby," 1938                                                                                                                         2. "The Wizard Of Oz," 1939                                                                                                                         3.  "Now, Voyager," 1942                                                                                                                               4.  "Mildred Pierce," 1945                                                                                                                             5.  "All About Eve," 1950                                                                                                                             6.  "The Bad Seed," 1956                                                                                                                               7.  "Suddenly Last Summer," 1959                                                                                                               8.  "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?" 1962                                                                                           9.  "My Fair Lady," 1964                                                                                                                              10. "Valley Of The Dolls"                                                                                             

                                  Granted, everyone's favorite may not be on here, but, hey, if you want to pass on suggestions, I am happy to watch and write about them.  This is a sharing experience for all of us.

                                     I can honestly say these were the films that formed me as I emerged into a burgeoning gay child/man.  I think at least one of these films are on most people's lists, but others of course will vary.

                                      I don't know if it is hot where you are, but in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, it is scalding, so I may binge watch some films today.  Maybe to get an idea of what to put on the next list of Art Films.

                                         Meanwhile, Happy Happy Fourth, and 250th, stay cool, and what a pity they are not streaming Taylor Swift's wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!
