Thank you SO MUCH for a link to a really great doc about one of my fave gay movies.
Thanks for the heads up. It's a great documentary.
didn't see the movie 'Boys' until 1975, it was in a small second run theater near a universty campus where my boyfriend and I knew we would only run into college aged friends. The boyfriend had just come out and he feared that would be his life. We're both in separate relationships lasting 25+ years
My partner (of 28 years) and I just watched this last night (we got it from Netflix). Really excellent, full of lots of juicy details and colorful personalities.
Personally, I went through the classic "stages" with "The Boys In the Band". I first read about it when I was in high school sometime in the late '70s, then I read the play. I liked it. Then I saw the movie in the early days of VCR and I HATED it. "Too many stereotypes, too negative". Then I saw it again about ten years ago and I liked it a lot. And then I watched it last year again and I could really appreciate the writing and the acting. "Groundbreaking" is an overused term, but it really applies here.
