Beautiful Thing is lovely, and My Beautiful Laundrette is wonderful. I think I saw the original french version of the Bird Cage, which was La Cage aux Folles (sorry if that's the wrong spelling), and really liked that, too.
Torch Song Trilogy, that was good.
I've read really good reviews of the Argentinian gangsters thing, but havent been able to find it anywhere.
Another Country had some nice moments.
Bound was really good, and I really liked Lianna but apparently it's considered not pc enough, and the girl was too pretty or something, which is oddly reminiscent of some of the criticisms Brokeback Mountain has been getting on some gay boards, according to a thread here.
Desert Hearts was fairly good, but not as good as the book. The one funny thing I remember hearing about it was, that of course, as is normal when filming, the scenes were filmed out of order. So, the scene where the women kiss for the first time was filmed after a lot of the steamier scenes which happen further on. It's meant to be a quick, nervous peck, but they'd apparently got so used to the kissing already, and found it not at all unpleasant, that it became a lengthy, passionate kiss instead.
Oh, and Like It Is, about the boy who's a boxer leaving his home and travelling to London, and falling in love with the music producer guy, that's really nice too.
I could probably think of more but I'm sure I've bored people enough!
