It recently occurred to me that one of my fave feel good/comfort movies, Big Eden, could be included as part of C6D because it stars Eric Schweig who was in the due South pilot.

Big Eden is a sweet film about a gay man who returns to his small hometown in Montana to take care of his ill grandfather, and pretty much the whole town then proceeds to play matchmaker between him and the local general store owner, Pike (Eric Schweig).

This film means a lot to me as Native/Indigenous representation is hard to come by, and queer Native/Indigenous rep even more so. I highly recommend it to any dS/C6D fans, and anyone in general, who wants to watch a lovely queer romance.

BIG EDEN (2000) dir. Thomas Bezucha Henry Hart, a successful New York Artist, returns to the town of his childhood to care for the ailing grandfather who raised him. Back in tiny and quaint Big Eden, Henry must come to terms with his relationship to Dean Stewart, his best friend from high School, as well as the object of his unrequited love. All these years Henry has been pining for a dream image of Dean from back then. This is also the story of Pike Dexter, the shy, unassuming owner of the town's general store, who is as surprised as anyone to find himself falling in love with Henry. The people of Big Eden conspire and attempt to bring Henry and Pike together. (link in title)

Pike is tall, shy, autistic, and his love language is cooking, he’s literally the ideal man

I'd forgotten how silly and wholesome this movie was. The old busybody welcomes Henry into town, engineers a party for him to meet all the eligible ladies. When she realizes Henry is gay, she redoes the whole party but with a bunch of men. Without missing a beat.

Then there's Pike who is teaching himself to cook so he can replace Mrs. Thayer's terrible cooking with his own on his meal deliveries to Henry, but won't take credit for it because he's painfully shy.

Meanwhile Henry's high school boyfriend disaster-bi Dean (played by Tim DeKay who is no stranger to looking at his costar like he wants to tap that) is just being a slutty little bastard showing himself off to Henry because he can.

All this in a fictional town in Montana where homophobia doesn't exist and I just love that.

This is my mother and that's my father. You were wrong. They wanted me. No. That's not-. It's what I found out. You were not taken care of. This is what they told, "Save these children. They need good homes. It's a mitzvah." You're not listening. That's my mother and father and they loved me. No. I was removed because the Government was taking Indian kids. We had a paper saying "unfit mother". You don't think Governments have lied before? [...] You can't just stick a new name on a person and pretend that nothing's happened. And you can't just take a five year old child away from their family and think that they're just gonna forget.
