For anyone who loves a great story two that I love are set in the world of the LGBT Community .

 

Pride

is a low budget movie that is set in the U.K  1980's Miners Strike and the support the miners of the Welsh Valleys found from the LGBT Community in Londan that formed life long friendships . Based on true events of that time .

 

Kinky Boots 

Again based on true events . Charlie Pride inherits a run down dept ridden Shoe factory his partner wants to sell it to make luxury appartments . A chance meating with Lola sets up a chain of events that leads to the Salvation of the factory its management and workers .

EXACTLY What I mean @nefilim ??.

 

The cast so superb and the story is just so uplifting as if you can not be youself then what is the point .

 

Another stand out Transgender performance was Jerard Leto in Dallas Buyers Club . So genuine in the way he brought Raylons struggles to the screen .

I was interested in watching The Normal Heart with Mark Ruffalo. I recall reading the play back in High School or so (before Cinema, I believe) and thinking it was pretty powerful.

Blue Is the Warmest Color.

And there are awesome Plain Archive releases.

 

" Adèle's life is changed when she meets Emma, a young woman with blue hair, who will allow her to discover desire and to assert herself as a woman and as an adult. In front of others, Adèle grows, seeks herself, loses herself, and ultimately finds herself through love and loss. "

Not familiar with this one at all 45Caliber . Will deffinately look it up as I have not seen a bad movie with Mark Ruffalo in it . Hes a solid bomb proof watch in my book .

 

@nefilim

 

One that I think is underestimated is To Wong Foo , Thanks for Everything ! Julie Newmar . That deals with some very difficult situations and topics . Infact I need a re watch on that AND Priscilla ??.

The Birdcage

 

" A gay cabaret owner and his drag queen companion agree to put up a false straight front so that their son can introduce them to his fiancée's right-wing moralistic parents. "

 

Mainstream movie but with good taste. Robin Williams was a treasure in this.

I liked Milk a lot. Having lived in San Francisco where the gay community thrives now, it's hard to image it as portrayed in the movie with police being so hostile, shaking down clubs and whatnot. An excellent performance by Sean Penn and a crazy story in general. The "Twinkie" defense used in the murder trial. "I killed him because I had too much sugar"??!!
