[edit] I've added a few films

Spanish and Italians films such as A mi madre le gustan las mujeres, Reinas, Azuloscurocasinegro (that's almost a masterpiece and is upcoming in the States), Sobreviviré, El diputado, Saturno contro (film) or To forget Venice, that is gay but I've not seen it. By the way, Luchino Visconti's masterpiece Conversation piece (film) is so gay in the subtext that when I made the page, I put it on this category but somebody erased it. Perhaps somone with blindness because the guys are bisex and Burt Lancaster is in love with Helmut Berger. Laura, the Otto Preminger film noir masterpiece, am I the only that think that it's a gay movie ? Cliffton Web is not in love with Laura,. she's a Barbie, he wants to love the cop, he envys all Laura's affais. Lovely film, gay in subtext Rohmerin 12:14, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] All About Eve

I don't recall any same-sex relationships in this movie. Why is it on this list? --Darth Borehd (talk) 05:13, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sort the list?

Shouldn't the list be presented in a table, so that it can be sorted A-Z, its release year etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.191.224 (talk) 22:51, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Should at least be viewable by release year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.189.71.201 (talk) 23:50, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Further Sorting

I noticed this list is very messy compared to others on the site. Personally I think it should have some sort of list format like the others with short descriptions of each film and be sorted by what issue it covers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.178.198.142 (talk) 18:07, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Twilight?

I see the movie Twilight was recently added to the list. Is there any justification available for this inclusion? HistoryStudent113 (talk) 07:58, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Sortable table

How about sortable table, where you can use year, geanre, director, first actor/actress, and sure if it is gay, lesbian or trans centered as a story. I think the alphabetic order is not very much usable? Can someone do this. --78.128.56.110 (talk) 21:52, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted Dune. Movie didn't feature a single gay character or theme.

The only gay character is the antagonist, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. He is implicitly shown to have a preference for young boys in the novels. However, since they didn't feel the need to put that in the movie, it shouldn't be labeled as lgbt-related. There's nothing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by El erico (talkcontribs) 00:14, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Alphabetizing

It is TERRIBLE on this list. This is what used to be under L.

  1. The Lady in Question Is Charles Busch, US (2005)
  2. La bocca del lupo (The Mouth of the Wolf), Italy (2009)
  3. La chatte à deux têtes (Glowing Eyes), France (2002)
  4. Lakki... The Boy Who Could Fly (Lakki), Norway (1992)
  5. Ang Lalake sa Parola (The Man in the Lighthouse), Philippines (2007)
  6. Ang Lalaki sa Buhay ni Selya (The Man in Selya's Life), The Man in Her Life, Philippines (1997)
  7. La León, Argentina/France (2007)
  8. La ley del deseo (Law of Desire), Spain (1987)
  9. La Mission, US (2010)
  10. Lan Yu (蓝宇), Hong Kong/China (2001)

There, we're treating "Ang" (the Vietnamese word for "the") the same as an English article for alphabetizing, but we aren't doing the same for other articles, such as the Spanish/French "La" (or the French "Les," further down.) I'm pretty sure the latter is generally accepted in alphabetizing; the article would be associated with the phrase to native English speakers. Also, a space SHOULD be treated as a different character. Therefore, "The Lady in Question..." should be much further down the list. In any case, it shouldn't be first.

Also, the numbers should be sorted from...lowest to highest. Not by which digit is first.

I'll try to get through as many as I can.

[edit] LGBT-related Documentaries

I noticed some documentaries listed here. Should they be mixed with feature films or should they be listed in a separate listing? werldwayd (talk) 05:23, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
