The ones I’ve mentioned barely even touch the surface, and my original, first draft of the list included the following:
There’s 2014’s film The Way He Looks about a blind teenager falling in love with his best friend , the tragic story about the loss of innocence in the Joseph Gordon-Levitt-led Mysterious Skin, Dee Ree’s powerful Pariah , and the soap opera Bad Education. There’s the Robin Williams and Nathan Lane film The Birdcage, the Alfonso Alfonso Cuarón film Y tu Mama Tambien about love that isn’t easy to define, the under-seen Lee Pace film Soldier’s Girl, and C.R.A.Z.Y., a familial drama with a LGBTQ theme. Last year also delivered us the moving Love is Strange and Lilting. I’m going to seem ridiculous for leaving off the Oscar-winning Brokeback Mountain. Then there’s still the musical Rent, the foreign romantic drama Kiss Me, and the movie Colin Firth should have won the Oscar for, A Single Man.
