I was hesitant about recommending this true story film that is incredibly touching. I may have mentioned it before but I’ve now found out the actors playing 17 were actually 19 so should be allowed. Fireworks is the English title. It’s a beautiful teenage love story that actually happened in...
Have to admit to having a crush on the boy in un professore Damino Gavino who also stars in new Italian gay movie Nuevo Olimpio about two boys who meet and fall in love at a cinema in Rome. Circumstances beyond their control drive them apart and they spend the rest of their lives trying to find...
Un professore is a slow burner as far as the gay love story goes, but it’s worth the journey. As in the original Spanish series Merli, the son of the philosophy teacher falls in love with the straight sexy boy all the class adores. They become close friends and after a while the straight boy...
Un professore is a wonderful, romantic, also very sexy Italian four part series set in Rome. It’s the Italian version of Spanish series Merli which focuses much more on the boys friendship becoming love than on the teacher father of one of them. And of course the boys are hot! It’s on YouTube.
I don’t know how but I saw this many years ago must have been just after it came out. Was very impressed by its honesty and explicitness for the time. And enjoyed it a lot. The surprise was that it came from the supposedly repressive DDR. I went into East Berlin back in the late 60s and it was...
I’ve now watched Red White and RoyalBlue seven times and am totally besotted with Taylor Zakhar Perez.
But thought I should watch something else and found a sweet ItalianfilmFireworks about two young boys falling in love in 1980s Sicily. One of the boys has a father who beats him and his mother...
Well with Red White and Royal Blue getting so much attention and having watched it three times already it’s time to find something else to watch while waiting for Young Royals 3 to drop, so I’ve been looking around. Found Italian Mascarpone, which has proved to be fun, Danish Just Friends, The...
Ragnarok series3 has just landed with the gay brother of the god Thor and the simply gorgeous Herman Tømmeraas as the chief villain. In one scene the gay guy visits him and says he wanted to see him shirtless one last time. Which he does for us in an extended sequence of shirtlessness.
Seems like a lot of interesting gay oriented movies turning up on Netflix and Prime these days, mostly from Europe, particularly Eastern Europe, titles like I Love You More, Beyond the Walls, Floating Skyscrapers, Summer of 85, Lie With Me, Tom of Finland, all well worth catching.
I take your point about Heartstopper but I still think they could have dealt with the issue of sex as hormones are rushing round those kids bodies are at incredible rate and with the exposure there is these days to sexual material, I mean they can see hard core on their phones, I do feel it...
Just watched it. Rather good. Yes, he never came out, but he had talked about it with friends, and it’s great to listen to friends saying how proud he’d be at the difference his death made not only to AIDS research, but to attitudes to how people looked at gay people. You mean not all gay men...
All That Heaven Allows has been on my top ten all time favourite movies since I first saw it back in the 80s on tv. Gorgeous film, Rock at the height of both his fame and beauty. Thanks for the heads up on the documentary.
Has Brazilian The Way He Looks been mentioned here before? It’s a gentle love story about a teenaged blind boy who is made fun of by his class mates but suddenly finds himself being protected by a new arrival in the school. His best friend, a girl, soon finds herself replaced by the new boy, who...
I cannot believe the Americans gave Red White and Royal Blue an R rating! You see more nudity and sex in str8 scenes on US tv shows than in this movie. Is this the reason, because it’s two men? Is America still that backward? I thought the film rather tame myself though I did enjoy it...
Amazon has turned gorgeous gay French novel Arrête avec tes mensonges into a beautiful film. They’ve mistranslated the title though. It means Stop with your lies, but Amazon is calling it in English, Lie With Me which gives it a sexual undertone.
After 35 years a famous out gay writer returns...
A Moment In The Reeds is a Finnish film about the love affair between a young Finnish boy and the Syrian refugee his racist, domineering, homophobic father employs to help out at his country property. Slowly as the two young men work on the house together, right in front of the father, they fall...
If you have Prime it’s worth checking out Italian series Prisma. Lots of eye candy with a pair of gorgeous identical twins as the main characters,
one str8 one gay!
Same actor plays both brothers. Glorious swimmers body which you see quite a bit of!
He’s in love with a fellow swimmer who he...
Herman Tommeraas in his walking about in briefs scene has a beautiful smooth body, just a thin treasure trail. Yet in a later episode he’s sitting on a step wearing an open necked shirt showing a hairy chest! Why do actors do this so often? Or producers impose it on them. Director Sylvester...
Ragnarok series 2 has gone a bit gay with the brother of Thor lusting after the hunk in the local fast food joint. But it’s the boy playing the son of the evil giant family who gets my vote. Herman Tommeraas is simply gorgeous! Does a stroll around in his underpants in one episode. Body to die...
Norwegian series Ragnarok on Netflix is a series well worth watching. Norway is incredibly beautiful and so is the eye candy. It’s a gods and monsters fantasy set in a modern high school! The old gods are still powerful. Two brothers arrive back in the town they were born in. One of them...
