I was able to download and watched a few gay-themed movies over the weekends and some are very nice to watch.
“Hablame de ti” (2022) – This one gives me the same vibe as “The Way He Looks”. The protagonist Chava also has curly hairs. The cute guy is Carlos – the one who finds Chava attractive. Carlos is gay and confident and they’re both swimmers. Chava has a lot going on on his plate – finding out that he has a half-sister and that his father has another family. There are about 4-5 kissing sceneds and each one is romantic. I like movies that portray gay characters as “regular” guys, confident and very likeable. I highly recommend this movie. One of the best movies of all time for me. Martin Saracho, the actor who portrayed Carlos, is very gorgeous for me.
“About Us But Not About Us” (2022) – Is a Filipino movie starring Elijah Canlas and Romnick Sarmenta. It’s unique because they portrayed 3 characters in this movie. Lots of dialogue though and not even a kissing scene. The story revolves about manipulation, being sly, stealing works of fiction and having alter accounts. Very relate-able in today’s situation.
“Lie With Me” (2022) – is about a novelist who returned to his boyhood town in France and recalling all the good times he has with his closeted friend (portrayed by Julien De Saint Jean). The story is great, the lovemaking scenes are great. Also a recommended movie. Somehow it’s similar to “Brokeback Mountain”.
“I Love You More” (2023) – is about a guy meeting his email/text pal and being disappointed because that person is really not into monogamous relationship. Relate-able in today’s situation but I don’t recommend this movie. So much drama, with his family and such.
“Golden Delicious” (2022) – is about a Chinese guy with a cheating father and conservative Asian upbringing. He soon realize that he likes guys – including his new neighbor who’s openly gay, into basketball and is very attractive and confident about his sexuality. The movie is about the struggles of gay guys in traditional Asian families.
“Norwegian Dream” (2023) – is about a closeted gay guy who fell in love with an African-American openly gay guy. It’s also about the difficulties of working in a fishing (tuna) company in Norway for someone who’s from Poland. The actor playing the lead character of Robert (Hubert Milkowski) is very sexy. I like butch gay guys with very short, military hairstyle. The movie is also about work, promotion, strikes, labor negotiations and such.
“Egoist” (2022) – is about a butch gay guy who fell in love with a hustler/call boy and decides to sponsor him. The young gym instructor is very gorgeous and naïve/innocent looking. Unfortunately the young guy died in the middle of the film and the story dealt with him taking care of his lover’s mom. This film is unique for me because it’s the first film I watch that tackles this kind of topic – taking care of a lover’s mom…. until the end. Nice sex scenes as well.Hio Miyazawa is the cute Ryota.
“Sing In Love” (2022) – I didn’t even finished this movie. It’s about sexual assault on a teacher in Japan and about obsession with that teach. This has too much violence in a movie.
“Sublime” (2022) – is about two childhood friends and one of them (the younger, cuter one) fell in love with his best friend. No heavy kissing and sex scenes but just a mild, tender kiss from his friend Felipe. It’s about the struggle of guys in their puberty period and about wet dreams (sort of). I myself experienced that during puberty. Martín Miller portrayed Manu (short for Manuel) and he’s very gorgeous with curly hair.
“Jitters” (2010) – this film is about first kisses between two guys. They’re both good looking, skinny, but good looking. There’s just so much drama happening between their friends and there are plenty of them. It somehow taken the spotlight out of the two lovers. There are some scenes that is similar in concept to “Love, Simon” like the sex scene with girls, and they did it out of drunkness and confusion. I find the actor Haraldur Stefansson named Markus very sexy in this movie. He’s a bit of a bi-guy who’s playing a butch hairdresser. I love his long, curly, blonde hair.
“Red, White & Royal Blue” (2023) – is about the son of a US president falling in love with a prince of England. This is similar in concept with another gay movie where the prince of England is gay. It’s about maintaining the royal image that there’s no gay member of the royal family. “Red, White & Royal Blue” is cuter and more Hollywood style. Prince Henry is cute. He is played by Nicholas Galitzine who is very good-looking.
“Stranizza d’amuri” (2023) – is based on a real-life event in Sicily. It’s about two young boys falling in love with each other in an ultra-conservative small town. One of the guys, with the Afro hairstyle, reminds me of Matt Evans (Pedro Penduko) and is very loveable and cute. Actor’s name is Gabriele Pizzurro.
“Beautiful Beings” (2022) – is about a group of 4 boys (one of them was adopted since he’s an outcast). Two of the actors are gorgeous -- Snorri Rafn Frímannsson (Siggi) and Birgir Dagur Bjarkason (Addi). This reminds me of the film “Stand by Me” (1986) starring River Phoenix. This time it’s a British small town.
“Le Paradis” (The Lost Boys) 2023 – is about two juvenile delinquents who fell in love at a youth reformation center. Again, I love the portrayal of Julien De Saint Jean here. He sports a military hairstyle and he portrays a tattoo artist here. Very masculine.
“Mates” (2023) – is about camping and about an innocent young man who’s not yet aware that he’s gay. Until a camper, an openly gay one, approached him and befriended him. James Wiles is dorky on this movie but cute.
“Since The Last Time We Met” (2023) – is about former lovers who met again after 15 years. They rekindled their romance even though the younger, cuter guy is already married. It gives the vibes of Coco Martin’s movie “Daybreak”, “Muli” (Cogie Domingo) or the movie “Weekend” (2011). Esteban Recagno (David) is very gorgeous in this movie.
“Weirdos” – a black and white film set in the 70s that I started watching but I find boring, thus, never finished. About two young lovers who haven’t had sex yet. They hitchhike their way to a beach to attach a party.
“Of an Age” (2022) – an Australian movie I also started watching but find boring, so I stopped. There’s this hysterical girl at the start of the movie calling her boyfriend.
