A couple of my favourites :

"Mediterraneo" (italian comedy... slightly slapstick...)

"Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain" (French, famous, awesome )

Toy Story 3 (pure unadulterated awesomenes...)

Stardust (lol, call me lame, whatever it's funny!)

The Emperor's New Groove (Animation. See above comment )

Strictly Ballroom (by Baz Luhrmann) (Australian dance drama movie... with a love story, of course)

Black Balloon (acclaimed Australian drama about a teenage boy with an autistic brother- really good!)

Little Miss Sunshine (for your monthly dose of laughs and weirdness...)

Aaaaand most of my other favourite movies are kids movies... anything animated... :D :D

Drag and gay themed, real life based: Soldier's Girl

 

Me and my husband watched Soldier's Girl together.. lol. I was watching it and he got nosy.. I told him that it probably wasn't his kind of thing.. but we watched it anyway. It's one of my favorite LGBT movies.

[Jon T Lappin]

Precious - I thought it was so powerful and Monique was great in it!

 

District 9 - An amazing film that turned out to be something totally different than I thought it would be.

 

Coraline - If you don't mind animated movies, this is one of the best I've seen in years.

 

Transamerica - Soooo funny and great writing.

 

Jennifer's Body - A really underrated movie. Many quotable lines.

 

Zombieland - Another great, quotable movie.

I hate watching gay themed films with people that don't appreciate the context. So mostly I watch them alone, lol

He liked it, surprisingly. Hated the ending, especially after I told him it was based on a true story.
