Queer film rec

[hsavinien]

I just watched Maurice, an older film set in just-pre-WWI England.  While the film is depressing at points, it is well acted and has a happy ending.  (Yes, I'm a sucker for them.)  I found the characters engaging and believable.

Things H. Savinien learned from watching Maurice:

• It is always a bad sign when a gay man grows an unattractive mustache
• English college men are/were under the impression that a "Platonic" male friendship implies chastity  *mrflsnort*
• Cricket is, in fact, a very amusing sport to try to decipher from watching five minutes on film.  Also, the players wear tight white trousers
• It's cute to watch your crush act silly in the rain when they don't know you're watching

Oh, I'm sure it is. ^_^ This is simply one of the films in my ongoing project to find GLBT media that are not terribly depressing, ending in death, self-loathing and forced heterosexuality, or insanity. (or possibly all of the above, because goodness knows the queers can't ever have a happy ending. *rolls eyes*)
