"Crash" winning Best Picture was then and will always be long remembered and cited as a potent display of Hollywood's homophobic segment's fear and ignorance.  V.

What you waitin' for, cowboy?

Brokeback Mountain Returns to Theaters
Focus Features announced today the exciting return of Brokeback Mountain to
theaters across the US in celebration of the film’s 20th anniversary.

Beginning in June with special showings June 22nd and 25th, Brokeback Mountain
will be re-released for a limited engagement.


WATCH THE OFFICIAL 20th Anniversary Trailer HERE.

ABOUT BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

Winner of three Academy Awards®, including Best Director, Brokeback Mountain is a
sweeping epic that explores the lives of two young men, a ranch hand and a rodeo
cowboy, who meet in the summer of 1963 and unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection.
 
The complications, joys and heartbreak they experience provide a testament to the
endurance and power of love. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal deliver emotionally
charged, remarkably moving performances in "a movie that is destined to become one
of the great classics of our time" (Clay Smith, The Insider).

I just bought 2 tickets for the 4 pm showing on Sunday June 22, 2025 at the one theater here in Albuquerque. I don't have anyone to go with, but bought an extra ticket just in case.

I don't know how I'll be seeing it on the big screen again. It will be just like when it came out originally when I went to see it in San Antonio, TX  in January 2006, by myself.

It was only showing at one theater in San Antonio on one screen. So.many people showed up to buy tickets that they opened up a second screen, and showed the movie simultaneously on the second screen.

After that first weekend, the movie was shown in 5 different theaters in San Antonio, and most of the showings were sold out.

It's weird to think that someone born the year the movie came out is 20 years old now!!!

I still find it astonishing that so many people one encounters on the street have never known the 20th Century.
