Hey guys!

It's lovely to have an LBGT board here, a space of our own to talk about whatever gay **** we wanna talk about .. but all we seem to say to one thing: 'be my friend!' .. I wonder if we should have one topic where people willing to be added by those looking for friends could post and then we could talk about other stuff!?

How about we start with your top 3 films?

    Top 3 films, that's a difficult thing. My top 3 that go back to watch fairly regularly are girl Interrupted, gia and full metal jacket. I don't really have a top 3 of all time as it depends on my mood. What films are people looking forward to seeing in the cinemas? For me I'm looking forward to Kill your darlings the film about Ginsberg featuring Daniel Radcliffe as Ginsberg. Also the new Thor movie, the hobbit and the fifth estate.

    *love* girl interrupted! Probably a top 3 for me too. Others would be Trainspotting and Human Traffic, but like you they change depending on my mood! Is it bad to admit The Fith Element is up there too!?
    I've not been to the cinema in an age, but I really want to see Filth, by the writer of Trainspotting. Have you seen it?

    And also, you're doing so well weight loss wise, you're almost half way!!! YAY!

    I agree, I check the forum often but no one has anything to say besides be my friend. But I couldn't find anything for a topic either! Well I love Gia and girl interrupted but mostly when I was younger. My all time favorite would have to be hot fuzz and the burbs. Lol. I do want to see captain Phillips!

    Has anyone seen about the remake of Carrie? I wonder if that'll be any good?

    You've all got great picks!! Girl Interrupted was one of my favorite movies for a long time.

    My current picks are:

    Moulin Rouge

    But I'm a Cheerleader

    KiKi's Delivery Service

    They're not the most sophisticated movies but they're light-hearted and I enjoy them a ton ^_^

    I love But I'm a Cheerleader. It's one of my go to movies when I'm not well, makes me laugh.

    We have a fairly wide range of DVDs in this house. From My Little Pony movie to Les Miserables. I really like Hedwig and the angry inch, priscilla queen of the desert, little shop of horrors and many more :) We mostly have DVD TV boxsets though. So many that we need two nearly three bookshelves to house them XD

    Oh I'm really pleased people agree! I wrote this post while I was grumpy and I was worried people might this I was a miserable little grot bag!

    I bloody love But I'm a Cheerleader! I'm terrible at forgetting films I've not seen in a while. Mind you, it's great for watching the same things over .. I've always forgotten the ending! Pink Panda, you have good choices, are you talking about the Baz Luhrmann Moulin Rouge? It's an amazing film.


    bridgelene, I saw Water For Elephants but it didn't blow me away as much as I hoped it would. Have you seen Rent at the west end?

    that'd be the one!! i love that movie <3 my girlfriend was less than impressed but she hates musicals... which makes me sad.

    Sheppey- Priscilla, queen of the desert was playing at my local art theatre recently but i didn't get to see it! i've wanted to for a while though so i might look into renting it.

    I love watching movies but suck at remember actors names or titles! Really got to try harder at that. However, I will have to admit I am your typical chick flick, comedy loving lady. I love the Hangover series, Shrek series, Pitch Perfect, The Notebook and Hairspray.

    Have you all seen bridesmaids? I think that was my shocker of the last couple of years. Everyone was on about how I should see it .. so I dragged my self there, and honestly I laughed my *kitten* off!

    Got any other films that you didn't like the look/sound of but they blew you away?

    Bridesmaids was def a shocker. Didn't look overly good but man what a laugh! I really enjoy Melissa McCarthy's movies like Identity Thief and Rush. She is hilarious.

    Hi guys :)

    My top 3 favourite movies are West Side Story (has been top of the list for a long time), Dogma (also a long-time fave), and a more recent addition to the list Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (original Swedish not the American remake)
  • MartialPanda

    i love saving face!! and also- Imagine Me and You. cuz you know, Lena Headey /swoon
  • Top Three Films:

    1) Fight Club (its so freaking good).

    2) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

    3) White Oleander (I spent time in the system as a teen, some very messed up time, so I relate to the movie a lot.)

  • . . .Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (original Swedish not the American remake)

    I flat refuse to see the American version, because I saw the Swedish one first. It was awesome in every way, and I don't want to tarnish it.

    I really think it goes in my top 3 even though I already said 3 :ohwell:
