(AKA: Lust For Life)

Director: Alfonso Cuarón
México´/ USA : 2001 :

It´s a great hot Mexican road movie about two young male friends (one rich and the another poor) along with an unhappy married woman who borrow a car and start to search for a nonexistent beach. During the trip they start to talk about sex all the time, and...doing sex all the the time, the woman has sex with both of the men and to make it especially nice they are naked a LOT !

Yankee Doodle in Berlin

Director: Richard Jones
USA : 1919 : 60 Mins: Filmed in Black/White
With: Bothwell Browne, Ford Sterling and Mal St. Clair:

This is a very early drag film and unlike most other early films the drag is acted by a real life female impersonator from this period. Bothwell plays both the leading lady and the flyer. Of course, just for laughs.

This film is listed as there is a character of Wally O'Sullivan who is a Sydney Herald Correspondent and has a boyfriend who is Indonesian. Certainly worth a watch just for that fact!

USA : 1983 : 134 Mins: Female to male drag
With: Barbra Streisand as Yentl/Anshel and her love interest is Avigdor played by Mandy Patinkin:

Yentl is a Jewish woman in the turn of the century. She does not want to be a wife and mother but wants to get an education. Knowing that she can not do this as a woman she takes on the identity of her dead brother who is called Anshel. She then dresses up as a man and goes on to live her dream and all is going well till she meets Avigdor who is a male student. She/he slowly falls in love with him and he not knowing what is happening is falling in love with him/her. He thinks at first his is gay but when she tells him that she is a she he is relieved but will only accept her love if she gives up the schooling. Well if you know Barbra nothing will stop her from following her dreams so you can figure out the rest. Oh I almost forgot along the way he/she marries another woman to keep up the pretense.

Young Soul Rebels

Director: Isaac Julien
UK: 1991: 105 Mins: Drama gay murder
With: Valentine Nonyela as Chris, Mo Sesay as Caz, and Shyro Chung:

The film takes place in the summer of 1977 when two black men want to bring soul music to the main stream public audience, which includes using a pirate radio station. There is both love and hate between the black and whites in this film and you think that what the film is all about but then there is a twist in the film as a gay friend of theirs gets killed in the park. The rest of the film becomes a sort of gay who done it - but I will not tell you as you should see this film.

Young Torless

Germany (West): 1966: 87 Mins: B/W: Boys school drama
With: Matthieu Carriere as Torless and Marian Seidowsky:

This film takes place in a German boys school. This is not a story about love but about students who pick a victim and then use him in all sorts of nasty ways. Torless just sits back and watches as the boy is used.

(Brazilian Title: Você Que Eu Amo )

Directors: Dmitry Troitsky & Olga Stolpovskaya
Russia, 2004, 83 Mins:

The first gay-positive movie to coming from Russia; Vera, a beautiful television reporter, meets and falls in love with Tim, an advertising creative. They have a lot in common: they are underpaid, overworked and extremely stressed. The relationship is going strong until everything changes when the mysterious and very cute Iloomyi, a young Mongolian guy falls on Tim's car and Vera finds Tim in bedroom with IIoomyi. It’s a nice movie with a happy end.
