Welcome to Gaia! ::

List your fav movies or films that you think others should see.

Myself I liked:
-When Night if falling - A great and slightly depressing film about a catholic school teacher who starts to fall in love with a circus proformer and ends up questioning her entire faith.

-Better then Chocolate - A silly comedy about a girl who runs off to Vancouver and lives in the back of a lesbian bookstore until her mother calls to tell her that she has broken up with her father. She moves into a new house with her girlfriend and the mother arrives earlier then expected. She must try to keep her sexuality a secret while her mother is around while dealing with many other problems that arrise.

-If these walls couple talk 2 - three short films that show the changes to lesbians over the years. Very sad at point and silly at others. It is a great set of shorts to be seen by all.

-But I'm a cheerleader - Silly and somewhat strange - a girl is sent to a straight camp that has some issues of it's own. Very weird.

-Mullhallond Drive - This movie will warp your mind. Made by the creator of Twin Peaks this movie is ment to make you think and twist your perseptions. It is confusing at first but when you realize that much of it is some wierd dream it starts to make some kind of sense. I loved it all the same. Mind you I love strange films like this.

-Girls interupted (sort of acording to my Kim) - Although Kim does not consider this a lesbian film it is listed on many lesbian listings. It is the story of a girl who is sent a a psycho hosptial. It is based entirly on the dairy of that girl and the adventures she had while there. Interesting and a good watch.

Do you have anything you wish to add to this list.

I own "But I'm a cheerleader" (Love it) and I liked both "girl interrupted" and "when night is falling".

Other movies:
~D.E.B.S.- another silly movie- It started as a comic and then became a short film and finally a full length movie. There's a secret test in the SAT that measures your ability to lie. If you get a high score, you become a DEB.
~Imagine Me and You- it was cute- On her wedding day the main character falls in love at first sight with another girl. It's funny and cute but sad. I feel sooooo bad for her husband.

I also saw "Lost and Delirious" which was totally depressing.

Oh yes, how could I have forgotten Bound. *grins*

I don't know if The Hours counts as a lesbian movie, but it was a great movie about three woman from three different timelines, connected by the book Mrs. Dalloway. There is a prologue where Virgina Woolf kills herself, then it starts with a lesbian writer sneaking back home. She wants to throw a party for a male friend. Now and then the scene switches to the past where Virginia Woolf is trying to write Mrs. Dalloway or to a lesbian woman reading Mrs. Dalloway. The woman reading Mrs. Dalloway is married to a man who is good, but whom she doesn't love (we late finds out that she loves her female "best friend") and with whom she has a son. This is a movie about three women and their friends struggling with their life, what they should be and what they are. Who will accept their "madness" and live on, and who will die in order to escape?

<******** Amal (also known as Show Me Love) is a favorite of mine. It's a Swedish film I believe, but you can find it subtitled in English (youtube or download). Agnes has a crush on Elin. Elin is bored with Amal and wants to do something. It all starts when Jessica bets Elin to kiss Agnes. After that Elin has mixed feelings and pretty much plays with Agnes' feelings the rest of the film...but I do love the ending. I'm not very good with summaries though sweatdrop

Watch "All Over Me", Leisha Hailey, the girl who plays Alice on the L Word is in it.

I liked it. 3nodding

Don't forget about Loving Annabelle

I loved it too! Yes, the ending sucked and so did the alternative ending, I didn't really understand it. Yea, the bloopers are pretty funny.
