20060825_brokensky_260x220.jpgThe summer movie season has been, yes, totally great this year. Not in a really high-minded artistic kind of way, but in a wonderfully earnest “this story means something, man” kind of way.

So, we’ve dug up some gay movies you can check out that go for pathos, and will still entertain you. They’re playing around the country. There may be a long drive for some, but they’re out there if you look hard enough.

Broken Sky -- directed by Julián Hernández (and pictured above), this is a story from Mexico about two university students, Gerardo and Jonás, who meet on campus and fall passionately in love. We hear good things -- the movie was a selection at the Berlin International Film Festival 2006.

Time to Leave -- directed by François Ozon. This dark French film follows the story of a handsome, successful fashion photographer who learns that he has a malignant brain tumor that will soon kill him. Hiding his diagnosis, he alienates his family and his young boyfriend, until he goes to visit his grandmother (the incredible Jeanne Moreau). Time to Leave was a selection in the Cannes Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival, 2005.

And of course, for just a little while longer, you can still check out the Todd Stephens’ comedy Another Gay Movie -- which takes place in a wonderfully unreal gay universe that we might all hope for one day.

If you’re looking to stay in, you can rent or Netflix:
