Drop everything: My Beautiful Laundrette
That reminds me - I must buy this on Blueray.
OK, favorite gay '80s movies?
Besides
My Beautiful Laundrette,
I'd have
Parting Glances
and
Prick Up Your Ears
on my list. And maybe
Longtime Companion.
Any others I've forgotten? I suppose
Withnail and I
counts, at least in my head.
Does The Hunger count?
But The Hunger is only like 20 minutes long!
(Feel that burning gaze? That is Plei, glaring at me.)
But oh, the mention of The Hunger reminds me! A friend sent me a message on FB; he's friends and neighbors with the local (and vanished off the face of the planet) jeweler who made the silver replicas of the ankh from The Hunger waaaaay back when. I am getting a replacement sheath for my ankh dagger!
And now I want to watch the opening of The Hunger. Again. Peter Murphy in a cage! David Bowie as a vampire!
Like so many things, My Little Pony mania started on 4chan.
Unrelated to gay 80s cinema and My Little Pony...
If you like the end titles to A Series of Unfortunate Events as much as JZ and I do (we think they're the best of the last decade) then you'll enjoy this inside scoop on their creation.
I'd include
Rocky Horror
but I think it came out in '79.
I think
Rocky Horror
should count, because in my brain the category is more like, "Gay movies I watched in college."
