Get ready for a new kind of tournament: The Ultimate Gay & Lesbian Film Tournament!

[Mike]

I wanted to have a tournament that two of my favorite films (Kissing Jessica Stein and Lost & Delirious) could be a part of. And then I came up with this idea. I think it's rather original if I do say so myself ;)... I wrote down all of the gay/lesbian films that I could think of, and then the rest I got from a little site I would like to thank --- www.wolfevideo.com --- who specialize in gay/lesbian entertainment.

It works just like my other tournaments. The first one to 10 votes wins, however, every vote is counted and if I get here and there's a tie of 10-10 or higher, we will have to wait until one of them gets another vote or so.

I hope that everyone will participate and help make this tournament a success!

ROUND 1 - MATCH 1


MULHOLLAND DRIVE

http://www.adorocinema.com/filmes/mulholland-drive/mulholland-drive-poster19.jpg
http://www.lynchnet.com/mdrive/pics/cdcover.jpg
http://www.phase9.tv/images1a/Mulholland_Drive_-_3.jpg

Nominated for 4 Golden Globes® including Best Picture and Best Director!

Director David Lynch (Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks) brings to film one of the sexiest thriller of the year. Two beautiful women are caught up in a lethally twisted mystery – and ensnared in an equally dangerous web of erotic passion.

"There’s nothing like this baby anywhere! This sinful pleasure is a fresh triumph for Lynch, and one of the best films of the year. Visionary daring, swooning eroticism and colors that pop like a whore’s lip gloss!" – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

"A maniacal thrill!" – The New York Times

Directed By: David Lynch
Starring: JUSTIN THOMAS, NAOMI WATTS, LAURA ELENA HARRING, ANN MILLER, DAN HEDAYA, ROBERT FORSTER
147 Minutes
Rated R

CHASING AMY

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00003CX9D.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

When Holden meets Alyssa, the woman of his dreams... she has someone a little different in mind -- another woman! But together they share the kind of relationship they've been looking for all along... and soon they discover that the confusing ups and downs of love, sex and friendship in the '90s have never been so complicated... or so funny.

Directed By: Kevin Smith
Starring: Ben Affleck,, Jason Lee
105 Minutes
Rated R


I think CHASING AMY (8/10 or B+) is the best Kevin Smith film, along with CLERKS (8/10 or B+) of course... Yet I also liked MULHOLLAND DRIVE (7/10 or B-) and even though I gave CHASING AMY the higher rating, I'm not quite sure which one I want to vote for. It's kind of strange, because I gave MULHOLLAND DRIVE the lower rating, yet I'm sort of rooting for it. I think that's a sign that I should check it out again someday... So, I think I'm going to wait for awhile before I vote. I need to think about this one. I'll probably just end up giving my vote to whatever one is the underdog (if there's even going to be one).


Alright, LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

Love Chasing Amy, but it just can't compete...

Awwww Mike, this is a FAB tourney mate...;)

So many favourites there...Velvet Goldmine, Wilde, Billy Elliot, Best In Show, Priscilla, Hedwig...FUCK, this is going to be TOUGH!!!

Can I make a couple of suggestions...and you can just ignore them, it's GREAT as it is mind;

The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Rules Of Attraction and Philadelphia.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo, Velvet Goldmine is up against Hedwig...that's just...wrong...;)

Kevin Smith's best if you ask me.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it...

I was debating over including THE RULES OF ATTRACTION for awhile, but then I decided not to since it's not technically a gay film. But now that I think about it, what the hell, it's gay enough ;)... I'll also add THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and PHILADELPHIA... Wow, I just realised I never saw PHILADELPHIA, it actually sounds pretty good. Maybe I'll give it a rent. Anyway, I'm going to write your suggestions down, and I'll add them later, but first I'm waiting for any more suggestions people might have.

As for VELVET GOLDMINE being up against HEDWIG, well, the tournament just wouldn't be any fun if it didn't have some tough matches ;).

[Damned Martian]

Hey, Mike, what about including Threesome in the tournament?

MULHOLLAND DRIVE

Now don't go pairing up KISSING JESSICA STEIN and LOST & DELIRIOUS in the next round. You know I want be able to choose.

That's right, I forgot to vote... I'm going to give my vote to MULHOLLAND DRIVE, even though I gave it the lower rating there's just something about it.

Sorry CHASING AMY fans, MULHOLLAND DRIVE wins 14-11... I knew this was going to be a VERY close match.

ROUND 1 - MATCH 2


PINK FLAMINGOS

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/6304484054.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Pink Flamingos This is the movie that made John Waters famous, and quite possibly the film that made bad taste cool. Yes, Virginia, a large transvestite actually eats dog feces as a kind of dizzying denouement to this frequently illogical and intentionally disgusting movie, but by the time that happens, you're already numb... and you've possibly laughed to the point of losing bladder control. The plot revolves around two vile families laying claim to the title "The Filthiest People Alive." You've got pregnant women in pits, you've got grown men getting sexual satisfaction from chickens, you've got people licking furniture to perform trailer-park voodoo, and you've got classic lines like: "Oh my God! The couch... it... it rejected you!"
Waters, who went on to direct genuine pop-culture classics such as Hairspray and Serial Mom, made this celluloid sideshow with one aim--to make a name for himself. It worked. He does have a genuine eye for filmmaking (when the trailer burns down, you feel the white heat of Divine's pain and anger). On the other hand, you won't notice any disclaimers about stunt doubles and animals not being mistreated. There weren't, and they were. Welcome to the filthiest film in the world. --Grant Balfour

vs.

FEMALE TROUBLE

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005NC4X.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Female Trouble John Waters expands the definition of female trouble in this mutant tribute to good-girl-gone-bad drive-in melodramas. The girl is, of course, cross-dressing cult icon Divine, Waters's plus-sized muse. Divine is at her most gleefully outrageous as teenage brat Dawn Davenport, who runs away from home and into a life of wanton hedonism all because she didn't get cha-cha heels for Christmas. Almost immediately she's molested by a sleazy motorcycle thug (also played by Divine--is this Waters's idea of "love thyself"?), but she doesn't let motherhood interfere with her plans of stardom and turns herself into an unlikely fashion statement in an apocalyptic fashion show. Waters's fourth feature, a follow-up to the midnight movie hit Pink Flamingos, is just as cinematically primitive and even more gleefully vulgar, right down to the electric climax of Dawn's road to everlasting fame.


The movies of John Waters that I've seen I've really really enjoyed. For some reason I haven't seen these two yet. My video store doesn't have Female Trouble, but it does have Pink Flamingos (on VHS :(). Hmm, I'll have to give it a rent sometime, but I will make sure it's with a friend or two. Both movies sound really disgusting and distasteful, yet that's why I'm so interested, because I'm curious. I think curiousity is the main reason anyone would check these out.

I don't know which one to vote for yet, I want to see what everyone else thinks first.

[Trinity]

Ugh! haven't seen either, but those posters sure do look repelling!

[arto_j]

I'm not really a fan of Waters' work, and will never see these two either.

I vote for Pink Flamingos, because I think flamingos are cool.

[asyouwish530]

Pink Flamingos. Long live John Waters!

For the current match... errrrrrrr... well..... mmmmmmmmm... I guess......


I give a damn about these two, I hate John Waters!! Why did you have to put this two together after making us go nuts choosing between two of the best films (if not the best) of this tournament, Mike? It's not fair!! I want to choose Chasing amy over any of these!! DAMN YOU!:(

I guess I'll vote for Female Trouble. At least I'm in the ignorance of what's inside that cover. Maybe there's no shit-eating like in the other one, which is worth to vote for it over the other crap.

Don't worry Puggy, I already decided to include that one in the tournament and have it written down. So far, these are the ones I will be adding:

THE RULES OF ATTRACTION
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW
PHILADELPHIA
BASIC INSTINCT
NOWHERE
PECKER
CECIL B. DEMENTED
BLOW DRY
THE OPPOSITE OF SEX
MAY


Anyway, as for this match, I'm going to give my vote to FEMALE TROUBLE because it sounds a little less repulsive.

Right now the score is 12-5 in favor of PINK FLAMINGOS. I'm going to end this match in a little bit, so get your last minute votes in NOW...

[Sugar Magnolia]

Oh, good choice with Philidelphia, Mike! That's a great movie...

Have you actually thought in including Batman Forever and Batman & Robin? This thread needs a little of action... :D

CHUCK & BUCK

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000051S5M.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Buck (Michael White) is an unemployed, infantile 27-year old who becomes fixated on his childhood best friend, Chuck (Chris Weitz). Chuck, on the other hand, has moved on to living a successful adult life that includes a beautiful fiancée and a high-level job - and has no interest in rekindling this childhood friendship. Buck's obsession to re-friend Chuck motivates him to move to Los Angeles where he begins "stalking" Chuck and his fiancée. He calls continuously, hangs out in front of Chuck's office, appears at Chuck's home uninvited. With Chuck rejecting all these efforts, Buck takes "dramatic" measures and puts on a Children's Theatre play that he is certain will make Chuck become his best friend again. Finally, in great despair, Chuck finds a way to get Buck to leave him alone. . .

Directed By: Miguel Arteta
Starring: Mike White, Chris Weitz
96 Minutes

I haven't seen CHUCK & BUCK yet, but I do plan on checking it out eventually. However, I did see the "HILARIOUS" BEST IN SHOW (8/10 or B+), and I loved it.

It's nice to see you finally join in on the fun Ideal. I was thinking that maybe you didn't want to participate because this tournament was too controversial or something ;).

Anyway, according to Wolfe Video, BEST IN SHOW is a gay film. And I think it's gay enough, afterall, it does have like 4 gay characters. I wouldn't include movies like Big Daddy or Sweet November, because those gay characters didn't play a big enough part in either movie, but they do in BEST IN SHOW.

ROUND 1 - MATCH 4


I THINK I DO

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005KCB4.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Screwball comedy with a modern twist; instead of Kate Hepburn and Cary Grant, it's Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. Two college roommates (victims of a mutually unrequited love) meet up again five years after school at their housemate's wedding. With the introduction of a Bellamy-esque soap star, the sparks, sexual and verbal, start to fly, as the ex-roommates try to navigate their new romance.

Anyone who has ever attended a reunion with people you love but don't always get along with, or had second thoughts about a commitment, or still aches from a college snub or an unfulfilled romance, will immediately recognize the characters in this funny and moving film."- Frameline


vs.


THE EINSTEIN OF SEX

http://images.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/455007h.jpg

The life story of Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, a German Jew, who as a physician established the field of sexology, and fought militantly against German anti-sodomy laws in the late 19th century. The script reveals main characters in Hirschfeld's life including impossible love interest Baron von Teschenberg, and Hirschfeld's aids- young Karl Giese and guardian angel, the transvestite Dorchen, as they establish the First Institute of Sexual Sciences in Berlin in 1920, and follows their struggles to keep it open, up to the rise of the Third Reich in the mid 1930s.



I haven't seen either of them, but if I had to choose one I'd definitely go with I THINK I DO. It actually looks kind of amusing. I don't want to see THE EINSTEIN OF SEX at all.

So, I THINK I DO gets my vote!

The Einstein of Sex looks more interesting, from the total uninterest that both films produce me.

[BadCoverVersion]

Haven't seen either...but The Einstein of Sex certainly appeals more.

[Ren Hoek]

some trivia: the director Rosa von Praunheim is considered THE precursor of the gay and lesbian movement in 1960s and 70s Germany and kids actually have to see his stuff in school for their sociology classes. Having said that, I must admit that I've never seen one of his films... most of my teachers back in god ole Germany were simply too square. ;)

THE EINSTEIN OF SEX is better, I guess.

[A.J. Hakari]

Oh god, you really think so!? I kind of find that cover gross. It's just that ugly guys sweaty face staring at me, I can't take it. It makes me feel like I need to take a shower. Yuk! I just looked at it again for a reminder of how gross it is. The colors are just icky too. I'm surprised people find the cover cool, it looks like someone barfed.

Anyway, that aside, THE EINSTEIN OF SEX is slightly beating poor I THINK I DO 8-6... Come on I THINK I DO, you need to make a comeback! Keep the votes coming everyone!

[ColinM]

I Think You Do, I guess. I just chose one randomly, I've never seen nor heard of either. ;)

There's some cool movies still to come in Round 1, like:

Heavenly Creatures
Billy Elliot
Boys Don't Cry
Bound
Kissing Jessica Stein
Gia
Threesome
Velvet Goldmine
Lost & Delirious
The Deep End
The Hours
Far From Heaven
May
The Rules Of Attraction
The Opposite Of Sex
Frida
The Talented Mr. Ripley

And many many more......

[JCPhoenix]

Neither looks very appealing to me as a movie, but I'll with the one that has the less horrible cover, I Think I Do.

Just because you seem to be having some trouble getting one last vote to move this tournament along :p.

GET REAL

Simon Shore manages the transition from television and documentary to feature filmmaking with great assurance in his debut, the captivating, gay comedy/drama Get Real, based on Patrick Wilde's stage success, What's Wrong with Anger? Shore recounts an appealing tale of a teenaged schoolboy coming to grips with his emerging sexuality. Sixteen-year-old Steven is just another teenager: He listens to the latest music, plays computer games, hangs out with friends. But Steven has a secret: He's in love with the school's top athlete, the devastatingly handsome John Dixon. Not surprisingly, Dixon is dating a model and is the object of every girl's attention. Steven certainly can't tell his parents, and none of his friends know he's gay; he can only
confide in his best pal, the overweight, feisty Linda, who wants a
romance of her own. As if this weren't complicated enough,
Steven discovers that one of the girls at school has developed a
crush on him. And then Dixon notices Steven's attention. Shore
and his cast of youngsters do a wonderful job of capturing the
secret lives of his teenage characters. He penetrates the hearts
and minds of people trying to understand their complex sexual
yearnings, while compensating for the expectations of parents,
friends, and society. Fresh, youthful, and invigorating, Get Real
establishes its moving tone from the beginning and doesn't let go;
it takes an incisive voyage into the world of a gay teenager trying
to tell the world that there's nothing wrong with being in love.

Despite his youth of 16, Steven knows that he is gay and even experiments with sexuality at the local park men's room! Life changes for the soft-spoken teen when he locks eyes on John, the school's handsome super-jock.

The two are attracted to each other, but John's fears threaten to tear apart their tentative relationship. Get Real is a coming-of-age story infused with charm, humor, emotion and a knowing sense of the difficulties of being a gay teen. Highly recommended.

PRISCILLA

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0792843983.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
http://www.mckellen.com/images/lotr/hwpris1.jpg

The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert is proof that sometimes all you need for a good time is the right friends, the right music, and the right outfits! In an acting turn hailed by Rolling Stone as "one of the best perfromances of the year", Terence Stamp plays Bernadette, a drag queen about to relive her theatrical glory days with two young friends on one wild road trip. Billed for a gig in rural Alice Springs (smack in the middle of Australia), the trio hits the highway in a bus dubbed "Priscilla". Their act might fly in civilized Sydney, but the outrageous costumes, disco music and dancing is getting some pretty interesting feedback at every stop along the way. Bernie, Mitzi and Felicia are finding out that you can't shock anyone these days- but you can have fun trying!

Starring: Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving

Get Real (8/10 or B+) was actually a really good coming of age movie. I caught it on TV around a year and a half ago, and it really surprised me. It's no wonder a lot of people love it. I might actually buy it someday. ******SPOILERS******The scene where John beat up Steven to impress his friends shortly before Steven was supposed to give his speech in front of the school and his parents was so sad.******END SPOILERS******.

I haven't seen Priscilla, I can't say I really want to either...

GET REAL easily gets my vote!

I haven't seen either but Get Real sounds much better! (and less frightening)

[BadCoverVersion]

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

9/10

It's in my top 100 and it's abso-bloody-lutely GREAT.

Extremely funny, sad and unique. Pearce, Weaving, Hunter and Stamp (in particular) are all magnificent...and if this flick fails to lift your spirits on a mundane Sunday afternoon, then you have "issues" I'm afraid.

Just a few PRICELESS QUOTES...

* POSSIBLE SPOILERS*

A desert holiday, let's pack the drag away. You take the lunch and tea, I'll take the ecstasy. Fuck off you silly queer, I'm getting out of here. A desert holiday, hip hip hip hooray!

Why don't you light your tampon and blow your box apart, because it's likely the only bang you'll ever get, sweetheart!

Just what this country needs: a cock in a frock on a rock.


The exchange between Bernadette and Frank in the bar is definitely one of the more memorable scenes...

Bernadette: Stop flexing your muscles, you big pile of budgie turd. I'm sure your mates will be much more impressed if you just go back to the pub and fuck a couple of pigs on the bar.

Bob: Bernadette, please.

Frank: BERNADETTE? Well I'll be darned. The whole circus is in town. Well I suppose you wanna fuck too do you? Come on Bernadette, come and fuck me. That's it. Come on. Come and fuck me. Come on.

Bernadette: (Bernadette knees Frank in the bollocks) There, now you're fucked!

In an age when cynicism is considered cool, New York City is the perfect backdrop for three determined friends attempting to take the town by storm. Marc dreams of that big Broadway break, songwriter Robert dreams of Marc, and ‘shop-a-holic’ Cynthia (Mara Hobel, Mommie Dearest) dreams of landing her fantasy job -- at the top. When reality intervenes, the fun begins in this delightful tale of unrequited love and relentless optimism. The festival favorite that had audiences cheering from London to Sydney!

As for Broadway Damage which summed up in its story line wasnt that bad in my opinion......So I am voting for Broadway Damage.

Gods & Monsters a four star (MWAH) performance. I was very glad that I rented this baby.

LILIES

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00001QGJ6.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg


Lilies, by John Greyson, is an emotionally intense, suspense-laden tale of love, betrayal and revenge in which one man's past comes back to haunt him. Already one of the largest and most successful gay art-house films of 1997, Lilies won four Canadian Genie Awards® (the equivalent to the Oscar®) in 1996 including Best Picture, and was placed on many year-end Top 10 lists including the Boston Globe, I.A. Weekly, San Francisco Bay Guardian and SF Weekly. In 1952, a Catholic Bishop makes an exceptional visit to a prison to hear a dying inmate's last confession. Once in the confessional, the Bishop is confronted by a childhood friend Simon, who has collaborated with his fellow inmates to take the Bishop hostage and reenact Simon's version of the events that took place forty years earlier in their rural village. The action moves back and forth, seamlessly through time, between the crude prison and the actual events of 1912, culminating in the tragic night when both men's fates were decided.

LATE BLOOMERS

A heart warming story about two women working at a Texas High School who decide to defy their community and hold a marriage ceremony. To their surprise, the community turns up to cheer rather than jeer. Part comedy, part family drama, and all love story.

Directed By: Julia Dyer
Starring: Connie Nelson, Dee Hennigan
86 Minutes

Directed By: Jeanette Buck
Starring: Nancy Daly, Dennis Fecteau

I haven't seen either, and can't say I have much of a desire to see them. However, I'll give my vote to LATE BLOOMERS, which looks a little better.

I haven't seen either (and don't plan to), but I'll vote for Late Bloomers just because it's shorter... ;)
