“One of my favorite LGBT movies is...”

Kimberly Peirce (director, STOP-LOSS, BOYS DON’T CRY)

“What a fun thing to think about — so many great movies and great movie moments come back to me. Some of my favorite LGBT movies are: HAPPY TOGETHER: I watched it 3 times in one week at the Quad Cinema, with my buddy Robin, I was mesmerized by those two guys and by those saturated green walls. SCORPIO RISING: like HAPPY TOGETHER, I watched it over and over, only I recall it being the RED that I couldn’t get out of my head. VICTOR, VICTORIA: my parents had just gotten cable, it was on that month — I watched it about a billion times — I didn’t know why. MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO: River Phoenix, so beautiful, so sad to think of him passing with Heath just passing – miss Heath – what a great filmmaker Gus Van Sant is. MA VIE EN ROSE: what a wonderful story. MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE: the amazing Daniel Day Lewis. HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH: my fiance’ was just reminding me of how Hedwig recalls the origin of love story. THE HUNGER: watched this at a bar on the press tour for BOYS DON’T CRY - one good way to spend a date.”

Watch the trailer for Kim’s BOYS DON’T CRY (it’s now available on both DVD and Blu-ray).
