Steve Braun & Larry Sullivan make a dreamy couple, don't they?
Considered one of the top gay romances ever -- essential!
I love the '70s & '80s costumes, hair and sets!

The Trip is an ambitiously epic gay romance that traces the course of two men from their initial meeting as teenagers in 1973 until 1984. The time is the socially turbulent 1970s when radical politics and the emerging gay rights movement clashed with the rigidly conservative establishment. At a swanky L.A. party, lean and lanky Tommy (Steve Braun) locks eyes with the sexually and politically repressed Alan (Larry Sullivan). Tommy has long blond hair, and is openly gay with a glib sense of humor. While he’s organizing for gay civil rights, the muscular, shaggy-haired Alan is a member of the Young Republicans and an aspiring journalist. He is working on his first book, a treatise on the evils of homosexuality, and invites Tommy over for dinner to interview him for the book. The sexual tension is so intense that Alan's kooky girlfriend Beverly (Sirena Irwin) quickly departs, leaving the two to begin a hot and steamy romance.
Fast forward to 1977 – Anita Bryant is organizing the "Save Our Children" campaign in Florida and Alan's book has been published anonymously and used as a tool by the right-wingers. When word is leaked about who actually wrote the book, Tommy angrily leaves Alan and quickly becomes a "kept boy" of Peter (Ray Baker), a closeted wealthy gay man. Flash-forward again to the eighties, where Tommy and Alan meet up again, making this life-long romance come full circle. Supporting roles in this love story are played by Alexis Arquette as Tommy's trampy roommate, Julie Brown as a Madonna-styled secretary and Jill St. John as Alan's floozy mother who never fails in her efforts to embarrass her conservative husband (soon to be ex) and her button-down gay son.
The period sets, costumes and music add loads of campy fun to this funny, touching, political and powerfully romantic and political drama.

Half a Person

Two twenty-something best friends take a road trip from their rural Canadian home town, to the big city of Toronto. Alex (Nigel Smith) is straight, introverted, and desperately single. His best friend, Mark (Michael Majeski), is charismatic, irresistibly sexy, and in a "committed" gay relationship, yet harbors a dark and self-destructive side. Amidst traveling mishaps through the countryside of Northern Ontario, eye-opening adventures in the city with a pair of younger girls, and a journey delving deep into Alex's past, the friendship is ultimately put to the test by the boys' belated coming-of-age and their unspoken feelings towards each other.

Cold Showers

Cast: Johan Libéreau, Salomé Stévenin, Pierre Perrier, Florence Thomassin, Jean-Philippe Écoffey

Powerful explosions of teen sexuality burst through this emotionally austere film about a self-confident young high school athlete whose coming of age is upended by a life altering sexual encounter. There is no gay content in this film.

This sexually-charged coming-of-age parable is as erotically explosive as it is emotionally restrained. The film revolves around Mickael (Johan Libéreau), a star on his judo team whose family life is a wreck. His father is a hopeless drunk to the point of comedy (a major liability, as he is a taxi driver) and their finances are so upended that they have to turn their electricity off for weeks at a time. Nonetheless, Mickael perseveres with a good-natured seriousness that serves him well in his athletic pursuits. He is seemingly mature beyond his years and enjoys a highly sexed relationship with his handsome girlfriend, Vanessa. Things take a turn when the wealthy father of his new teammate asks Mickael to be his son’s personal trainer. Their friendship grows over time and comes to include Vanessa until one day it boils over into a spontaneous sexual encounter that leaves the three of them trying to sort out their emotional wounds. The feature film-debut of documentarian Antony Cordier, Cold Showers goes beyond mere explorations of teen sexuality with a keen eye to the socio-economic influences on its budding young characters.
