In honor of last night's viewing of "Querelle" I realized that what the world needs is a list of some of the worst queer movies ever made.
This list is not in any particular order and it should be noted that many many more movies belong in this category. These were the first ones I thought of, but feel free to remind me of others.
1. A Home At The End of The World: hours of pain as the script plumeted into what felt like the end of the world
2. Salmonberries: Oy Vey, KD Lang attempts acting (see picture).
3. The Event: the event was trying to stay awake for two hours and get my money's worth
4. Bar Girls: much better watched in rewind. a lot more humorous.
5. Total Eclipse: I believe this is the worst movie ever made. I ate some oreos during the viewing. I wish the oreos had totally eclipsed the screen.
6. Querelle: see below. this could be a great drinking or smoking movie, but sober, it just hurts all over.
7. Therese and Isabelle: all I remember is saying "oh, therese" and "oh, isabelle" over and over for weeks.
8. Swimming: the lead in this movie is the girl from "Six Feet Under". According to my parents she sucks in the theater and I could say the same for her movie career. Stick to HBO.
9. Better Than Chocolate: should be called worse than shingles.
10. Personal Best: if this is the personal best, I am so so deeply afraid to find out what the personal worst looks like.
11. Big Eden: yuck.
12. Cruising: this is kind of funny. i hate period pieces. sure, this was filmed in the 80's, but if you think of it as a historical glimpse, it can be quite entertaining.
13. Boys in The Band: get an editor, get a plot, get a life.
