We know you're all about popping open a bottle of fizzy Champagne, throwing on your best pair of fuzzy socks, and plopping down on the couch to watch a steamy movie any night of the week (seriously, what better way to relax?). In honor of that much-beloved tradition, we've rounded up the sexiest flicks of 2015.
“What the fuck?” If there’s one phrase to take away from this film, it’s that. In fact, the lead character says it approximately 100 different times in the last act of the movie, when - well, I’m not going to tell you. The movie, taking place in Brooklyn, tells the story of a gay couple and their best friend (played by the wonderful Kristen Wiig) - who has an unconventional threesome plan to have a baby together.
There’s something really special about this story. It’s contemporary and feels very real, very much like a life I’ve imagined for myself. Which makes the surprises of the movie that much more traumatic. There’s no wonder why Nasty Baby won the 2015 Teddy Award at the. This gay film (it’s a documentary) tells the story of three gay Palestinians living in Tel Aviv.
Created by Jake Witzenfeld, the movie unfolds through some pretty typical experiences familiar for any type of individual, but the three protagonists experience life with their own identity crises - much like other twenty-somethings. The film follows the individuals for several months and covers topics such as Israeli-Palestinian politics, youth, relationships, Zionism, family and sexuality. It’s an engaging and curious story that leaves you wondering “what’s next?”.
Another documentary, this UK film follows the lives of some of East London’s most notorious drag stars and the East London drag community in general. The film follows their lives for almost six years, from festivals (Glastonbury) to the dark and dank clubs in East London. For anyone with a slightly passing interest in drag politics, this film offers a bit of insight into the world of drag, and it does so in an entertaining and engaging way. The star and ringleader of the film is Jonny Woo, still active in the East London drag community with the popular bar and indie club, The Glory (highly recommended for any gay night out in London!).
