OpenCam
While chat rooms might feel like familiar territory for many gay men, thrillers arenít familiar territory for many gay movies. In fact, thrillers often feature gay villains and gay stereotypes. OpenCam might include a gay villainóconsidering that the entire cast seems gayóbut it also rises above stereotypes.

Fabulous! The Story of Queer Cinema
Vito Russo's 1981 book The Celluloid Closet explored how movies portray gays and lesbians. That book led to a documentary adaptation from directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. While both incarnations of The Celluloid Closet remain ground-breaking and essential, Fabulous! The Story of Queer Cinema focuses mostly on gay films, made from a gay or gay-friendly perspective.

Another Gay Movie
Another Gay Movie brings gay cinema into the testosterone-driven realm of Porkyís and American Pie. Like those comedies, Another Gay Movie features teen characters but aims for a strictly adult audience; in fact, writer/director Todd Stephens intentionally kept the movie unrated, knowing it wouldnít receive an R-rating without losing some of his most outrageous footage.

Floored By Love
Created in Canada as part of the TV anthology series 13 Stories About Love, this fifty-minute film captures the parallel lives of two different multicultural families. Director Desiree Lim first introduces viewers to a Chinese woman (Cara, played by Shirley Ng) and her Japanese girlfriend (Janet, played by Natalie Sky). With gay marriage suddenly legal in Vancouver, Janet wants to get married immediately. The arrival of Caraís tradition-obsessed parents adds to her hesitation, and she creates more tension by lying about the nature of their relationship.
