I have seen most of these and they are very good films. I especially liked the film "Longhorns!" take a moment and check out which films were the best this year in the "Gaybies" over at TLA Gay.
My personal favorites even it they didn't make the "Gaybies" are listed below for all to see.
"College senior, Olaf 'Gunn' Gunnunderson is head-over-heels in love with his ultra-gay sweetheart Nathan Stanford. The boyfriends part for Christmas break, each returning home to his family. Nathan’s cold parents won a trip to Israel, but somehow “forgot” to tell their son. When he hears that he’s to spend the holidays alone, he decides to make his way to Wisconsin to be with his sweetie and family. When he gets there, there are a few surprises: Gunn is in the closet; Gunn’s mom, Anya is a major Christmas freak who says “Dontcha” frequently; and Gunn takes after his dad Sven — anatomically speaking — a fact learned when Gunn’s stoner dad greets Nathan at the door in an open bathrobe. With constant double-entendres flying from Anya’s mouth and Gunn Sr. always stoned, no one seems to notice that Gunn is gay and dating Nathan. With the closet walls closing in on Nathan, he decides to flee back to his empty home — the Gunnunderson’s are a little too fruity even for him! Giddily exuberant, Rob Williams’ latest is not only filled with laugh-out-loud jokes, but also with boys who look oh so cute together. Dontcha think?
It's the closing night at the last drive-in theater in America and Cecil B. Kaufman (Richard Riehle) has planned the ultimate marathon of lost film prints to unleash upon his faithful cinephile patrons. Four films so rare that they have never been exhibited publicly on American soil until this very night! What could possibly go wrong?
In the spirit of classic anthology films like Creepshow and Twilight Zone: The Movie, and containing films that not only celebrate the golden age of drive-in, B-movie horror shlock, but also span over four decades of cinema, Chillerama offers something for every bad taste! With titles like Wadzilla, I Was a Teenage Werebear, The Diary of Anne Frankenstein, and Zom-B-Movie, Chillerama is sure to have you screaming for more. From the depraved minds of Adam Rifkin (Detroit Rock City), Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs), Adam Green (Frozen), and Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2).
Brad Jenkins (Andrew Keitch) is a gay man who's just turned 40 and feels very single. He confides his wish to “be normal” to his lifelong best friend and sister-in-law Julie (Joan Lauckner), who is urging him to attend his family reunion. Brad ends up going, but feels even worse being with his relatives, who are content with the suburban married pleasures of barbecue and scrabble. Perhaps Brad is shocked at his mother's bad wig, or is that just a poor prop...
Brad, who has stopped drinking has a few and tipsy after the party, he crashes his car driving home, not coincidentally, at an infamous gay cruising area. When he comes to, he finds himself magically transported back in time. He's a teenager at his old high school, but to Brad's surprise, things have changed radically. Everyone is gay!
Although at first he resists the thought of being a kid again, Brad soon begins to enjoy gay life with his classmates - particularly when he gets asked out by Roland (Tim Hammer), the handsome guy he once had a crush on. The two begin to date, and everything seems great, until a new student shows up on the scene: Julie!
Brad begins hanging around with Julie, but to his complete shock, he begins feeling attracted to her. With the Blue Jean Ball (their local version of the prom) right around the corner, Brad has to decide whether he wants to be normal - gay - or acknowledge his new feelings for a girl, knowing full well that to do so will make him once again an outsider. A sweet somewhat forgettable film, Almost Normal is not a total disaster.
