Gay Movie Recommendations

╰┈➤ I’m not gay but my boyfriend is!

Yes the topic is: “I’m not gay but my boyfriend is!”.

Which means, this recommendation list includes movies where some of these themes are included:

internalised homophobia, denial of sexual orientation, being in the closet, coming out.

Shelter (2007)

My Rating: 9/10

This movie is definitely one of my favourites. It’s about a young lad Zach finding paths again with his best friend’s big brother (Shaun) after many years. They are surfing together in California and just enjoying each other’s company.

This movie is heartwarming and very comforting somehow. I am drawn into 2000s nostalgia in this movie. The soundtracks are also made by legendary (and gay) artist Shane Mack.

Lie With Me (2022)

My Rating: 8/10

I watched this film on big screen and boy it was a journey. It’s about a writer coming back to his old town to hold a signing event for his new book. His book is about his journey with his sexuality and his first love. One of the people who comes to his signing is; his first love’s son. And he doesn’t know how to act about this.

This film is based on a book, I’d recommend reading the book too.

Just a Question of Love (2000)

My Rating: 8/10

This is a light hearted film, and I’m a sucker for French movies so it’s one of my favourites. It’s about a young lad called Laurent who falls in love with a plant scientist Cédric. Laurent wants to come out but it’s hard to do when his family is not very open minded.

Mario (2018)

My Rating: 7/10

This movie is about two young footballers, both playing for the same amateur club in Switzerland, falling for each other and having to fight against homophobia in their careers. And it’s not easy.

Punch (2022)

My Rating: 7/10 (TW: Rape)

This movie is very bittersweet. It’s about a young boxer (Jim) trying to figure his life out and along the way meeting a young and very queer Māori boy (Whetu) and befriending him. I especially love how sweet our main guy Jim is towards Whetu. Unfortunately not everyone is so sweet to our Māori boy.

Love Songs (2007)

My Rating: 9/10

It’s my favourite movie of all time and it’s a musical. But I must add, this movie is not gay but very bisexual. Our main character Ismaël (played by Louis Garrel) finds himself somehow in a polyamorous relationship with 2 women. One of these women is the love of his life Julie. Although later in the movie Ismaël meets Erwann, a very young lad who is madly in love with our heartbroken Ismaël. And their love is heartwarming.

This movie’s soundtracks are legendary. And I would recommend watching Christophe Honoré’s other movies (dir.)

Mambo Italiano (2003)

My Rating: 5/10

This movie is about an Italian/American man (Angelo) trying to come out to his family. Angelo lives with an other Italian/American roommate (yeah they were roommates) .Whole movie treats homophobia and being in the closet in a comedic manner but some parts fail with lightening the mood up. Overall a comedy drama.
