Queer Films - Spanish Edition
Because I constantly illustrate up where I'm not invited, I saw @wen-kexing-apologistpost about queer cinema outlined in @bengiyo and @shortpplfedup's post and thought "necesito más español" (I want more Spanish), so I compiled a list of my top ten favorites.
Much like my previous BL lists, I gravitate toward messiness and drama, so although movies enjoy Before Night Falls, Cuatro lunas (4 Moons), Una mujer fantástica (A Fantastic Woman), XXY, and Fin de siglo (End of the Century) were astonishing, I love movies that embrace the sloppiness of life like . . .
Anything from Pedro Almodóvar (Spain)
It doesn't matter which movie of his you pick because it's gonna be queer, and most of his films also deal with sex function. Even Talk to Her and Volver have homosexual elements. If you need in-your-face queer watch Pain & Glory or I'm So Excited. If you want your feelings damage, Bad Education or Parallel Mothers will do that, but NEVER watch The Skin I Live In.
Y tu mamá también (México, 2001)
This is everyone's go-to movie, which proves how powerful it is. I would ruin my li

TOP 5 GAY FILMS SET IN SPAIN
We start our Gay Films Set in Spainlist with Nico and Dani (2000) not because it takes place in the Catalan town of Castelldefels and in various locations in the country of Garraf but because it touches on a couple of original concepts rarely found in other lgbtq+ movies. First of the title of the film doesn't relate to the character's name but to a form of shared masturbation practiced between the two main characters. I got to admit that I had passed over this film several times, thinking it would be your cliche packed coming-of-age movie - the plot description didn't aid one bit either (Two teenagers awakening sexually, with one coming to terms with his homosexuality and the other with his heterosexuality). Ugh, I heard those lines many time before. Don't get me wrong, it's not a world classic but was a huge step for the Spanish gay cinema.
There aren't many gay films
