Lilies One of the most impressive and
beautifully crafted gay films ever made. An elderly bishop arrives to hear a dying prisoner's
confession; he soon finds himself captive, forced to
confront his shameful past and the prisoner with whom he shares it. With him as their only
audience, Simon, convicted of killing his lover as a youth, directs his fellow inmates in
a play that reenacts the events of forty years past.
Beefcake:
A Film by Thom Fitzgerald
A humorous look at the 1950s muscle men's magazines, which were primarily being purchased by the
underground gay community. A campy strawberry milkshake of a film saluting the dream world of '50s male physique
photography; a giddy cinematic swirl of vintage photos and film clips of young men flexing
their muscles, interspersed with fictional, satirically shaded vignettes set in 1950s Los
Angeles.
Pink Narcissus
James Bidgood's breathtaking and outrageous erotic poem,
focusing on the fantasies of a beautiful boy prostitute living in a
Technicolor-saturated world. Alone in an ultra-kitsch apartment he
conceives a series of interlinked narcissistic fantasies, in which
he explores archetypes of gay male desire. This is the most complete print of Pink Narcissus ever released
in the UK.
Piccadilly Pickups
From Piccadilly in Manchester to Piccadilly in London � a teenage boy travels to London to begin work as a rent boy. But he invades
another boy's patch and finds himself involved with pornography. "A quirky, satirical seduction into the glorious world of prostitution and
pornography." Starring Alexis
Arquette and Chris
Green, directed by Amory Peart.
Mandragora
Sixteen-year-old Marek leaves
his dreary small-town life for the beautiful but treacherous streets of Prague.
He quickly is lured by a greasy pimp into selling his body to the many tourists
who flock to the city for its cathedrals, castles and tender male flesh.
Emboldened by his early appeal, Marek and his handsome streetwise buddy David
decide to go into the teen flesh trade themselves.
Steam: The Turkish Bath (Hamam)

boy. Marta and Francesco decide to separate, but something
unexpected happens... and neither of them will ever return to
Italy.
Queer As Folk Stuart has got it all. He's rich, drop-dead gorgeous and
always the center of attention. Vince is
funny, adorable and definitely a babe but, unlike Stuart, he has zero
confidence in himself. Since time began Vince has carried a torch for Stuart but his love
remains firmly unrequited. Then along comes Nathan. Young, wild and coming out with a
vengeance, and once he arrives,
nothing is ever going to be the same again.
Queer As Folk2: Same Men, New Tricks
The boys are back in this outrageous sequel. Stuart Jones is being
blackmailed and seeing as he's no one's victim, he's out for revenge.
But does he go too far?... Contains behind-the-scenes footage.
Defying Gravity
This earnest low budget drama centers around a college student who is
forced to come to terms with his closeted gay sexuality. Griff is a seemingly
happy jock who blends in comfortably with his sex-starved,
towel-snapping, group-showering fraternity brothers at a
Southern California University. But, in reality, he�s a gay
man who has been clandestinely involved with Pete, his cute boyhood friend.
Beautiful
Thing
Jamie is a
reserved teen, close to his mom, who prefers old
Hollywood musicals to sports. His friendship with neighbor Ste, a
fellow student who suffers through a troubled family life, soon
develops into a sexual and eventually a loving relationship. How the
two boys tentatively handle their nascent sexual drives and how it
affects their family and friends is handled in both a fresh and
surprisingly upbeat fashion. A wonderful comedy-drama and possibly
the best coming out film of the last decade.
I
Think I Do
The screwball "who will marry who" antics of The Philadelphia Story are given a gay update in this
deliriously romantic and sexy comedy. Bob and Brendan are college roommates
whose close friendship (and Bob�s mad crush) is chilled after
a hopeful but awkward pass by Bob is rejected by Brendan. Now
five years later, they reunite for
the marriage of one of their former classmates.
