I just saw a production of the play here last month in London, and it brought back all the memories of watching the movie in theatres when it first came out. I think I was 17 or 18 then, newly out of the closet, and this movie instantly became my favorite. The production will be back on in the West End during Europride this summer in London. It's definitely worth seeing.

Yes, a true classic. Took me about three watches to pick up on all the whitty comments throughout (Hugh Janus) but then I had to buy it and watch it again and again. Turns out the jock also hated the main kid, and if you go to his website he still posts ridiculous photois with various women to show how very straight he is. Reminds me of Hal Sparks since his QAF stint; ridiculous.

Beautiful Thing is, by far, the best "gay" film made to date. After seeing it I got my hands on a copy of the play, which turned out to be very campy and did not have the heart that the film has.

Linda Harvey, the mother, knocks the ball out of the park with her performance. The director won best new director at Cannes that year for the film.

I loved the end of the film ~ it begs for a sequel, with the boys, now grown ~ dancing on a rooftop in Tuscany at sunset for the opening.

“Beautiful Things” is definitely one of the best gay films made. I only wish it had a better ending. Dancing in the courtyard of the housing complex was a little much. Logoonline.com's survey of gay films placed it 2nd, behind “Brokeback”. Another film (conspicuously missing from Logo's top 50 list) which I highly recommend is “Wild Reeds” by Andre Techine.

This is one of my most favourite films of all time. I have seen it so many times.

Its such a touching movie, I think everyone should see it at least once.

This is actually one of my favorite films, gay or straight. I am 23 now, I saw it by accident late one night when I was in my early teens. By then I knew I liked boys and that I could get killed for it. Seeing this movie was great though because it is so hopeful, in a innocent, non-typical gay way. What I mean by that is that at one point one forgets that it is love between two boys. It becames just about love. Get me? Anyway, it is still one of those films I watch every so often to help keep me from becoming too jaded and hopeless with the gay world. Glad you got to see it.
