We're talking about a special edition Blu-ray.
Studios release special editions all the time of films that nobody gives a shit about. I can guarantee you that there are more than enough people that would buy The Whole Bloody Affair on Blu-ray.
Best Buy released a special edition steelbook of Kill Bill a few years ago. That couldn't have been The Whole Bloody Affair?

200 Best LGBT Movies of All Time
Interesting, I don't remember seeing Bohemian Rhapsody on there. I may have missed it. But there are more I would like to see on the list, mostly obscure little things. One good one is called "The Blossoming of Maximos Oliveros". I've always remembered that one and the name really helps, HA!
The entire movie Sebastiane is on Youtube, uncensored.
I happen to think of Ben-hur 1959 as being a gay film but many don't pick up on it or don't agree. And please I am not looking to argue that point if anyone comes for me.
Also, Call Me by Your Name, God's Own Country and Brokeback Mountain need to be higher just for my own tastes if nothing else.
I have not seen the #15 spot but will have to check it out.
Sebastiane is a great film. And in Latin!
Ha! I know that now, tripped me out at first cause I didn't know that going into it.
The list also brings up what constitutes an LGBTQ film. Hitchock has a huge gay following and it can be argued that several of his villains are gay. But I don't think any of his films made it.
And you just haven't lived until you've watched Mommie Dearest in a room full of gay men.
There should be a sort of LGTBQ-adjacent list for films adored by the community but not necessarily a "gay" film say like Steel Magnolias. Going back further, a ton of old westerns and some war flicks have major gay subtext. Red River is a great example.
Another good list of queer cinema: https://www.bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/...films-all-time
Un chant d’amour, man! What a sexy movie that is!
Portrait of Jason is hilarious and a bit sad but so entertaining for what it is.
If you haven't seen Pink Narcissus yet mae, it's wild and every bit of it was filmed in the director's own apartment. If you've seen it, you know that's a pretty large feat!

‘The Little Mermaid’ Originally Meant as Gay Love Letter to Author’s Crush
Our first submission for the Best International Film for the 2020 Oscars:
https://deadline.com/2019/07/oscars-...ry-1202645421/
Mounia Meddour’s debut feature Papicha has been selected by Algeria to represent the country in the Oscars’ newly-dubbed International Feature Film category – formerly known as the Best Foreign Language Film race. This appears to be the first film chosen for the category by any country this year; typically submissions start to roll in over the summer and into the fall.
Set in the 90s, Papicha centers on Nedjma, an 18-year-old student passionate about fashion design who refuses to let the tragic events of the Algerian Civil War keep her from experiencing a normal life and going out at night with her friend Wassila. As the social climate becomes more conservative, she rejects the new bans set by the radicals and decides to fight for her freedom and independence by putting on a fashion show.
Paris-based Jour2Fête, which confirmed the selection to Deadline, releases in France in October and is handling international sales. The film received praise upon its world premiere in Cannes.
Algeria has previously received four Oscar nominations in the category and won in 1969 for Costa Gavras’ Z.
The International Feature Film name change doesn’t impact any other rules for the category. However, the shortlist for the race has been expanded to 10 from a previous nine. Seven, rather than six, will be chosen by the Phase I International Feature Film Committee, and the additional three will be voted by the International Feature Film Award Executive Committee.
I agree with this guy sometimes and other times he infuriates the hell out of me (he's done a lot of movie analysis vids) but this is an interesting one and again, I agree with some of what he says but not all....
