I, OTOH, remember when Bravo was a network so named for showing Janus/Criterion foreign films and BBC cultural events, and was one of the more expensive premium channels on the air. And then the CEO made a big deal about Coming Out, and the TV industry thought this would bring more "diversity"...

That was the general intent, to make the Mainstream Headline-Related AIDS Movie for the Oscars-- Although, in the scene where Denzel gets propositioned by the one supporter rather overeagerly assuming "Well, c'mon, you're defending the AIDS case, so that means you're One Of Us, right? :) ", that...

No, saying that gays seem to have a preoccupation with telling the world that it's not just them, there're really hundreds and thousands and millions out there who probably are, they just either haven't said so yet or just secretly don't want to admit it, 'cause they're too repressed! Um, what...

In general terms of the thread, however, one might argue that Lawrence of Arabia does not. Okay, there's one scene of buggering, which seems to be as rooted in the Turkish culture as it was in Midnight Express, but that alone is no cause to jump in with big Rainbow flags chanting "One-of-us...

Sorry, just rankling a bit at the idea of a thread extending into "What mainstream films can we all claim 'ownership' on and pretend they were made exclusively for gay audiences?" There's been a lot of cultural co-opting in the search for a cultural identity, and despite a lot of wishful...

You mean it's even MORE of a "lesbian movie" than Lily Tomlin in "The Incredible Shrinking Woman"? :P (And its non-stop political-grudge blaming of the corporate white-male-reality for "forcing" 80's women into a conspiracy of consumerist oppression?) It's a Wachowski movie even gayer than "V...
