| | 1. |  | In the Gloaming
from Hbo Home Video
Customer Review:
"In The Gloaming" is an excellent HBO production based on the story by Alice Elliott Dark. First time director Christopher Reeve tackled this challenging story about a young man with AIDS who comes back to the home of his wealthy parents to die. This drama only takes 62 minutes, but it packs an... more info

| | 3. |  | Second Best
from Warner Home Video
Customer Review:
"Second Best" is not even on DVD. Few have heard of it. Its fans, judging from Amazon.com, are boy-lovers (in the erotic sense), though the film has virtually no sexual content. It's about a middle-aged postmaster (Graham) from Wales who feels the impulse to adopt a son (Jamie) and acts on it.more info

from Hallmark
Customer Review:
I had to watch this movie in my Child Development & Psychology class. I must say, it gets to one's heart easily. I was one of the few that actually cried in class. The acting was rather decent; it was an enjoyable cast. Annie was so adorable! I really loved the interaction between everyone and... more info

| | 5. |  | Cure
from Universal Studios
Customer Review:
I thought this was a good movie - not great, but good. It addresses the current topic dealing with kids, or anyone who end up with AIDS through a blood transfusion (a rare event nowadays). This movie is not for young children because of language and other inferences made in some of the scenes. Some... more info

| | 6. |  | As Is
from Warner Home Video
Customer Review:
I saw the original Broadway play years ago but frankly the movie is much better. Now that we're 20+ years into the AIDS pandemic, it's a little shocking to go back and see how things were in the beginning. However, all is handled nicely and what makes this movie a must see are the actors. Jonathan... more info

| | 7. |  | Philadelphia
from Sony Pictures
Customer Review:
Right when the world needed a film about HIV we got Philly.
Actually we could have used this movie ten or fifteen years earlier.
This movie puts a very human face on HIV and the discrimination that goes along with it.
Brilliant performances by Hanks and Washington.

Powerful screenplay based on the autobiography of the exiled Cuban author, Reinaldo Arenas.
Arenas was a gay Cuban author and poet who was persecuted by the Castro regime and fled Cuba in 1980 (the Mariel Boat-lift) and ended up in New York City, where he continued to write and rail against the... more info

| | 9. |  | Poison (1991) (Unrated)
from Fox Lorber
Customer Review:
Filmed in 1990, POISON was an extremely obscure art house film--until Senator Jessie Helms, a hysterical homophobe, threw a public temper tantrum over the fact that it had been financed in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Helm's tirade had the effect of piquing public... more info

from First Run Features
Customer Review:
This little movie is probably still my favorite of all time. As a gay man coming out during the 80's, I remember watching this late one night on Cinemax and amazed at how uplifting and positive it was. It was the first film I ever saw that showed gay men as leading 'normal' lives, and not closeted,... more info
