About Outfilms gay Movie Reviews

I'll come out of the closet. Yes, I love gay movies, but I have had a difficult time finding an online resource to help me select the best gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender films that are available to watch. There are a few Web sites out there. One boasts thousands of movies listed, but when you dive into them you find that they haven't seen most of them so they are unable to give you an informed view if the movie is good or not. Or, they list any film that includes a gay director or star, but the movie itself has nothing to do with gay people.

My frustration in trying to find a quality site that could simply tell me a little about the movie and if it was good or not led to OutFilms. The way I like to research any film, is I want to know as little as possible going into a movie. But, I want to know enough to know if it has the potential to be something I will enjoy, or a waste of my time. Tell me a little about what the movie is about and tell me if it stinks or is a great film.

That is the goal of OutFilms. Each movie listed here has been seen by one of our reviewers and they are giving their personal rating to it. The reviews aren't so long that they will ruin all the surprises should you decide to see it, but hopefully long enough to give you a taste of what the movie is about and is it for you.

Hopefully, what I was looking for in a gay movie site is exactly what you are looking for. I hope you enjoy your visit.

Criteria
The criteria for a movie being listed changes over the decades. Because of a "decency" crackdown in Hollywood during the 1930s, 40s and 50s, there were almost no openly gay themes or characters. They were there, but they were hidden. Compare that to the past 10 years when there has been a major increase in the number of gay characters and themes, even in mainstream movies. For modern movies, there needs to be a main gay character or theme to the movie for it to get listed here. For the classic movies, we're not that picky. At least one of us has to have seen the movie and we do require more than just a gay director or star. But it is highly subjective which movies we choose to list.
 
About Ken Sain
Ken Sain is the lifestyles editor at The Gazette in Prince George's County (Maryland), and former news editor at the Washington Blade, the nation's oldest gay newspaper. He has been a professional journalist since 1986 and a fan of movies for longer than that. He is a regular at the Washington, D.C. gay film festival, Reel Affirmations, which gives him access to many gay movies months before they are released nationally.

Ken earned a history degree from Arizona State University and loves politics. The kinds of movies that will appeal to him can be very political, like "And the Band Played On" or have a bit of fantasy thrown in, like "Lilies." Ken will nearly always pick serious subject matters over camp, but sees the value in camp films as well.

 
About Rudy K
Rudy K is a successful commericial photographer, having photographed many of the top supermodels in the world. He's run a successful fashion designer business, winning awards for his wedding dresses. He's a gay activist working for Parents, Family & Friends of Lesbians & Gays. Oh, and he's a gay film addict. He is must more sentimential than Ken and enjoys the corny love stories that put Ken to sleep. So he's the perfect person to give a second opinion for this site.

Rudy is a Chinese native of Indonesia and holds an Australian passport, so he brings a world view to his ratings of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender films.
