Im sure many a gay director, or producer had to mortgage their house to fund and suffer for their art. OK, there's a lot of cheap quality, 'indies', or studio stuff full of stereotypes, but some still have a passible plot, or something worthy to say. Thanks, to a few ground-breaking early films, or later Mainstream, with well known stars - otherwise we would've never had the late 90's New Gay Wave, where these films were made not just by, or for the pink dollar anymore, but bigger studios and budgets. Remember, not too long ago, before the 80's & 90's - in films, as in life: we either despised/and or killed ourselves someone killed, or bashed us we got HIV, or died of AIDS were made fun of, or a mockery or all of the above. Like Str8 Hollywood - there's good, bad and the ugly in Queenywood also. Not all on this list are my Favorite - but are still worth a watch and a placing.
