Attention: this is Joseph speaking. I’m so saddened over neglecting to add Holiday Heart to my list. For those who care, it would’ve been #3 on my list.
Joseph: “I’m annoyed, but okay” (responding to Nick’s honorable mentions list)
Me: 😂😂😂🤣
Entertaining, fun-loving-banter, as always!
Oh... and since Holiday Heart bumps BGF to an honorable mentions, it’s only fair that Nick gives ya a hard time. Hehe 🙃 😉 Happy New Year & thanks for the top tens! 🖤
Alfre Woodard and Ving Rhames are both excellent in it.
Such a GREAT movie and now you can’t pick on Nick this time…although he was cheating with his three way ties for his favs. LMAO
@@divakingsley9020 lol
@@mirameejungyesssss 😂😅❤
I don’t really mind Nick doing long explanations about his favorite movies and relating them to his childhood. I thought they were pretty interesting.
Agreed. I also appreciate Josephs eyerolling at Nick ignoring all the rules lol
Me either! He’s a professional! And very intelligent ❤
Saving this video so I have a nice watchlist to go through now...
I love how Joseph started out so snippy with Nick, but the last lines are "you did your best, thank you." Yes, thank you, Nick! ❤
This is probably my favorite video. Seeing you two relate to these films so much is genuinely touching.
I am a huge Tennessee Williams fan and I love Suddenly Last Summer. Thanks for the review on that, Nick.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire! The ending is close to perfection...
One of the greatest films I have ever seen. I would use the term masterpiece for it.
This video was awesome! Almost 30 minutes? Yes please!
Joseph is soooo shady towards Nick, LOL. But Nick holds his own. Nick’s like, I’m going to get these facts in there, damn it! 🤣
While Too Wong Foo is entertaining, I feel it becomes boring, once they get stranded in the small town. Priscilla has the same issue, it starts strong, but fizzles out.
My list:
The Cakemaker
Moonlight
God’s Own Country
The Normal Heart
Tie: Behind the Candleabra / The Law of Desire
Tie: The Broken Hearts Club/ Snails In The Rain
Tie: Burnt Money / Boy Erased
Tie: I Love You Phillip Morris / Maurice
Tie: Call Me By Your Name / Holding The Man
I added a bunch of ties, to get some Joseph eye rolls! ❤️
I love Elizabeth Taylor’s violet eyes, love the shirt, yes, I loved her in Giant with the late Rock Hudson & James Dean. Another great video, Nick & Joseph👏🏼👍🏼💜🎬
The lav mics were a great upgrade. A little sound-deadening material on the walls will kill the echo and make your vids just that much more polished. Keep it up guys! We love you!
Great idea lads, I'll go with...

10. The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert

5. Dallas Buyers Club
4. Brokeback Mountain
3. The Crying Game

#LGBT #LGBTMovies
an ABBA TURD??? OMG I loved Priscilla Queen of the Desert!
I love Bound & Priscilla ❤
The Children’s Hour is my all time favorite. It stars Audrey Hepburn, Shirley MacLaine and James Garner.
Because you guys haven't been posting alot...I needed my Monday dose of Fishjelly so I'm revisiting you're oldies ..they are great!
I can’t stop watching your film reviews’ 😂
You two crack me up. Some of your facial expressions when the other is talking. 😆🥰
Great to see ‘get real’ on here. I hope you’ve both seen ‘beautiful thing’. ❤
Missed this one somehow! Looooved it and all the meaningful, insightful commentary. Spit my sweet tea on Nick’s remark about lesbian films and straight people!!
I was surprised Nick didn't pick Prayers for Bobby! Haha.
Home for the Holidays (1995) starring Holly Hunter was probably the first film I saw in cinemas that had gay themes which weirdly enough had a profound effect on me and I still adore that movie today and have to watch it every Thanksgiving. Later, I saw the film Chasing Amy (1997) in college with an audience and even though the film itself is complicated about the subject that experience felt new and memorable. I feel like when Netflix first started out with the mail-in DVDs, I rented like every gay film ever made (including Get Real!) Haha. Very much appreciate your channel. Love all these throwbacks.
Nick loves Prayers for Bobby but since it's a Lifetime move, he didn't think to include it.
The great news is there is so much queer cinema to choose from, not every favorites list is going to be all-inclusive, no matter how hard one tries. That's real progress. ❤️
I was really hoping for "
Call Me by Your Name (2017)" 😢😢😢 but good list nonetheless. Happy new year you two.
I’m just watching this video today. You guys are too cool! I have a lot to say about Queer Cinema in general. I grew up in the nineties and began my journey into independent films then. I’m totes going to watch Tangerine now. Thanks for highlighting it! I gotta say one thing that I hope isn’t controversial. I remember when To Wong Foo and Priscilla Queen of the Desert came out. I, and my friends all talked about how TWF was a cheap and tacky knockoff of Pricilla. I’m going to rewatch them both and see if I still think that. Thanks again for your list! Cheers!
So glad you mentioned Jeffrey! Loved that one. I recorded it off Showtime onto a VHS tape. Mudgeboy didn't make the list? I thought Richard Jenkins and Emil H were great in that one.
Omg Nick I absolutely love Suddenly Last Summer. I bought that film on DVD a few years ago when Barnes and Noble did a classic film sale.
I couldn't narrow it down to 10 and my honourable mentions would have been never ending so, here are some of my favs (and I'm including short films too): 4 Moons, Undertow, Bound, Weekend, Burnt Money Frier Fall, I Don't Want To Go Back Alone (Short), The Way He Looks, Pretty Boy (Short), In A Heart Beat (Short), Lilting, Moonlight, Out In The Dark, High Art, Protect Me From What I Want (Short), Shelter, The Fall Trilogy, Tonight It's Me ( Short), Yossi & Jagger, Yossi...
I could keep going but enough 😄
I saw this title and felt like saying "IT IS TIME" in my best King Mufasa voice.
Parting Glances,Maurice , My Beautiful Launderette,Bent,Paris Is Burning,Tongues Untied,Victim, Moonlight and Longtime Companion are my favorites.
One of the few videos I've missed! My tbw list is forever growing thanks two you two beautiful bastards!
I freaking love hedwig and the angry inch ❤❤❤❤ love
Also Interview with the vampire one of my favorite movies Antonio looks amazing
Thank you for your thoughtful Top LGBT list, which inspired me to create my own. It’s always interesting how the era we grew up in can influence what made the most lasting impression, and where we were in our lives when viewed. Many of these were seen during their original release, and each hold a Special place in my evolving gay heart ❤️ 🌈
Victim 1961
A Taste Of Honey 1961
Reflections In A Golden Eye 1967
Boy In The Band 1970
The Naked Civil Servant 1975
Taxi Zum Klo 1980
Silverlake Life 1993
Chasing Amy 1997
Angels In America 2003
A Home At The End Of The World 2004
Great list!
Joseph bringing the gun show to this review
I'm curious to know what you think about before night falls. if you haven't seen it could you do a review I personally really love it but not many people know about it!
The Hunger with Bowie, Deneuve, Sarandon; aesthetically gorgeous, beautiful lesbian innuendo, and soundtrack with Bauhaus... One to watch if you like a seductive film. Thanks!
my number one is always The Handmaiden by Park Chan Wook (2016). My favourite film of all time in general tbh. I've seen it over 30 times, it's so beautiful and technically gorgeous, I can never get sick of it.
it's pretty recent for "al time favourite" just sayin'
So good
Thanks for this, have you seen Gods Own Country
I love the tank top and MYSTERIOUS SKIN is one of my favorite movies. Joseph Gordon Levitt is one of my favorite actors. So underrated
Great list!!! ❤
I’m annoyed but go ahead 😅😅😂😂😂❤❤❤and
You need to wrap this up 😂😅❤
The sassy is heavy 😅
I loved the loopholes the nick had with his honorable mentions and ties. Joseph maintained patience with all of it but the sighs in response were relatable.
Trick was SUCH a cute movie and is one of my favorites!
Kiss Me Guido,Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss and It’s in The Water are some of my favorite movies.
That was really fascinating guys.
Thank you

1. Beautiful Thing
2. Close
3. Weekend
4. 8 Women
5. Pain and Glory
6. Shortbus
7. Torch Song Trilogy
8. All About My Mother

Suddenly Last Summer is a great number one.
Breathtakingly elegant analysis/&dissection📽👑

Too Wong Foo is my #1. It's hilarious, it has ❤️. These kids today will never get the reference Noxema was a face 😅
7:13 🤣🤣🤣 your banter is great ,iam making a list of these movies & referenced in comments now thanks everybody
Im happy to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch in at least your honorable mention. When I clicked this video, Hedwig was one of the first film I watched which was categorically queer cinema.
My first Gay movie was 1:32
Mala Noche by (Gus Van Sant, 1985).
I know that I’m late to the party…my top 10 best

Parting Glances is soooooooooo good though!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love 'Better than Chocolate' and 'The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love' but I'm female and queer....also 'My Own Private Idaho'. omg love love love!
Is it cool to say beaches should be considered? I know it's not a LGBT film but it does have some under tones. Anyway great review as always 😍
Bitter tears is one of my favorite movies of all time!!! Tangerine is one of the funniest. I'm not even gay but gay romance movies are often times way better than straight ones
Joseph I grew up in the Bible Belt in Mississippi! Do I ever feel you! ❤
This was made for me 🥰
Lots of love to you both!
I almost forgot “Happy Together” 😊
10) Chasing Amy 9) 4 Moons 8) Object of My Affection 7) Different for Girls 6) In and Out 5) Making Love 4) PUNKS 3) Tongues Untied 2) Brother to Brother 1) Moonlight. Oh, and I've GOTTA give an honorable mention to John Waters and Divine for Female Trouble. Damn it! She didn't get those "cha cha heels" for Christmas!😂😜
Tongues Untied and Paris is Burning are my top two of all time!
Chile I’m here for Joseph’s 1814 inner arm tattoo and with that said…Joseph could we ever get a Janet Jackson Album or Tour Review? She and Prince are my top two Music Icons, both I’ve met in person. Prince at Tower Records in NYC 92, Janet at Spa bar during All For You tour 2001, where I shook her hand. (Yes, lightly gloating) lol
That could be fun, but I would probably talk about it on our podcast.
@@fishjellyfilmreviews Well, “Like a moth to a flame…”, I’ll be burning with anticipation! lol
Good list! I'm curious if either of you have seen "Appropriate Behavior"? It's about a bisexual Iranian woman going through a break up with her girlfriend and it's hilarious
Interview with the Vampire is excellent and the book is even better. The Vampire Chronicles is mesmerizing, especially the first 3 books, and Memnoch the Devil.
One of my favorite movies is Outrageous.
I know that I’m late to the party…my honorable mentions would be:
1. Truth
2. Drown
3. Love Simon
4. Call Me By Your Name
5. The Single Man
6. Philadelphia
7. Paris Is Burning
8. Boys Don’t Cry

10. The Hours
Honorable mentions:
1. A Soldiers Girl
2. Daddy
3. The Lonely Hearts Club
4. Boy Erased
5. Mulligans
6. Giant Little Ones
7. Beginners
You've got to be kidding me!!! "No Priscilla, Queen of the Desert?"
I'm curious with how highly y'all both rated "All of Us Strangers," if it would make a top 10 list if you redid this? Or just honorable mention along with Weekend?
To Wong Foo!!! Yes!!🥰👌🏾
Sweet (heart emoji)
What about 'Your name engraved herein' ?
My Own Private Idaho?, Parting Glances?
what about carol!!
omg the Criterion collection!!!
Cruising and the boys in the band are timeless. Too bad the young queens have never heard of em
Holy shit, GET REAL!!!! I know this movie front to back. “John Dixon, he is SEX on legs.”
Hey Joseph, whats the story behind your tattoo "do not resuscitate" also I LOVE this video! 😊
I've lived long enough.
HOLDING THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Mentioning* the Celluloid Closet but not even giving it an honorable mention? Tut-tut, boys.
I loved Jeffrey the last time I saw it, but I have completely soured on Sir Pat for being an iconoclastic little backstabber with a hero complex. I can't even watch TNG anymore without getting annoyed.
Aaanyway..
1. Cabaret
2. Boys Don't Cry
3. Heavenly Creatures
4. But I'm a Cheerleader
5. The Crying Game
6. Taxi Zum Klo (1981) (better than Cruising for sure)
7. Priscilla Queen o/t Desert
8. The Celluloid Closet
9. Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma
10. Dog Day Afternoon
and for guilty pleasure: If these walls could talk 2
..Taxi Zum Klo is actually from 1980, my bad :3
Joseph should ask Nick fortop 3 next time.
Personal Best is the best gay film.

Narrowly missed this list
would you guys consider "Orlando" a gay film ..I thought it had good gender themes
Very
This list makes me realize I need to watch more gay movies besides gay porn.
1. Big Eden
2. In & Out
5. Naked Sword's I Want Your Love
4. Metrosexulaity
5. Jeffrey
6. Gods and Monsters
7. The Broken Hearts Club
8. Philadelphia
9. Holiday Heart
10. To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar
OMG...how did I forget about Holiday Heart?!
May I recommend if you haven't already watched it that you consider watching The Adventures Priscilla Queen of the Desert. To me it's the better version of To Wong Foo, oddly enough they both came out the same year. It's an Australian movie about how about two drag queens and one transgender man that set out from Sydney Australia to the middle of the continent to put on drag shows. It's stars Hugo Weaving, Terrence Stamp and Guy Pearce. To me it is by far the best movie about drag queens, it's also just a very heartwarming and touching film about being gay in Australia and how these men and woman handle it.
We’ve seen Priscilla many times.
How dare you not mention two Lesbian themed classics, “The Children’s Hour (1961)” and “Johnny Guitar (1954).” Or at least as Honorable Mentions. Please do a reboot or a top ten pre-stonewall gay themed movie classic list. I have always been fascinated with Hollywood struggle to deal with these themes during that era. But thanks no less for introducing films that I never heard of.
😬
The South Korean movie "Two weddings and a funeral" is pretty good too
The original "La Cage aux Folles" from 1978 is superior to the US remake "The Birdcage". While it wasn't a bad remake, it can't compare to it's predecessor. Also "To Wong Foo" is pretty much the US answer to "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert", also a much better film.
"I did everything I could." LOL! No doubt! 10 Honorable Mentions and 10 'ties' (really? tied with what and how was that determined?) You said give me your top ten gay movies and he gave you 30!
You two are amazing and may I just say how much I love the term, “titty meat,”! It has been officially absorbed into my vernacular!
🙌🏾
Call me old fashioned. I prefer ‘homosexual’
Big Eden
Beautiful Thing
Young Soul Rebels
Head On
Trick
Brother To Brother
Cruel Intentions
The Crying Game
Like your list a lot...Young Soul Rebels!
Ah forgot Head On
How about Philadelphia? That is much better than most films on both lists. Boys Don't cry and Brokeback Mountain are better too. Oscar nominated. Love Simon was good as well.

LOL
Don't go all postal on me bitches.
@@fishjellyfilmreviews I cackled loudly at this
In Britain we had Beautiful Thing and God’s Own Country
