As attitudes have changed across the last century, more gay and lesbian movies are being made than ever. With Tom Hanks and Hilary Swank winning Oscars for “playing gay” and the awards bestowed upon Brokeback Mountain, queer cinema has moved from the underground to the mainstream. All these DVDs show the attitudes of their time towards homosexuality, from ridicule and disgust in the early decades of cinema to growing tolerance and acceptance. Gay, straight or just plain curious, these films offer something for everyone!
