I've been renting and watching gay coming-of-age movies in recent weeks. My first, actually, was Trick, which I fell in love with over a year ago. The recent viewings have included:
-- Beautiful Thing (liked a lot for the grittiness and fine ensemble),
-- Edge of Seventeen (fell in love with for the lead and the story and the ensemble...and the lead) [although not for its Sandusky location; sorry, Marc],
-- Friends Forever [Danish] (did not grab me)
-- Get Real (enjoyed)

Tonight I saw Latter Days and once again fell in love [yeah, I've gotta get out more...]. Witty, deeply angsty, excellent ensemble, tear-provoking ending, TWO hunky leads!

What are your favorites in this genre?
