“I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free.”

“You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?”

“You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Corona.”

“I like the tuna here”
“Bullshit asshole, no one likes the tuna here!”

Hard to choose just one, such a quotable movie.

what are your top 5 movie recommendations?
EYY ok im a terrible person to ask because i absolutely do not watch movies unless forced to at gunpoint and most of them are not queer SO here's just like... my 5 fav movies i guess lmao
THE JACKET (2005) dir. John Maybury 🌸
Tumblr media
(hey my first non-bl related gif!)
The narrative is a time slip fantasy in which a Gulf War veteran who suffered a death or near-death experience while on active service returns to the United States where he is blamed for the death of a policeman, and incarcerated in a hospital for the criminally insane. Subject to experimental treatments there, which involve him being shut inside a morgue casket while tied in a straitjacket, he eventually learns to travel through time and is able to offer help to various people.
i watched this in high school one lazy afternoon with my mom and became obsessed. i don't think it did well? or was really on anyone's radar? but Keira Knightley is fucking gorgeous in it as is Adrien Brody - both of which i had massive crushes on back then. it's definitely HEAVY and darker, obviously, and has a bit of an open ending but i eat that shit up.
"The important thing in life is to believe that while you're alive it's never too late."
PROMARE (2019) dir. Hiroyuki Imaishi 🌸
Tumblr media
Thirty years has passed since the appearance of the Burnish, a race of flame-wielding mutant beings, who destroyed half of the world with fire. When a new group of aggressive mutants calling themselves Mad Burnish appears, the epic battle between Galo Thymos, a new member of the anti-Burnish rescue team Burning Rescue, and Lio Fotia, the leader of Mad Burnish begins.
i've watched promare an embarrassing amount of times, but hey, it's actually a little queer so there's that! the synopsis is just a drop in the hat of what the movie actually is. we love anarchist rebels and advocates for equal rights (and enemies to lovers between a smol angry rebel and a big lovable himbo.) small note - we lost Galo's english VA, Billy Kametz, last year to his battle with cancer. he played a huge role in a lot of my favorite shows and games and it really broke my heart.
DRAGONHEART (1996) dir. Rob Cohen 🌸
Tumblr media
Sir Bowen, an English knight of "the Old Code", mentors Saxon prince Einon in his ideals to make him a better king than his father Freyne. While suppressing a peasant rebellion, rebels ambush and kill Freyne. Then a young peasant girl named Kara accidentally wounds Einon's heart. Einon's Celtic mother Aislinn has Einon taken before a dragon and asks him to save the boy's life. The dragon makes Einon promise to be a just ruler with honor and replaces Einon's wounded heart with half his own. However, Einon proves more oppressive by enslaving the former rebels that killed his father and forcing them to rebuild a Roman castle. Einon also has Kara's father, who led the insurgents, blinded. Believing the dragon's heart has corrupted Einon, Bowen swears vengeance on him and all dragons by hunting them down.
listen, i'm old okay? i watched this obsessively when i was a kid. i didn't own the VHS, i'm not really sure why? but anytime it was on tv i was glued to it. i think i eventually did record it onto a vhs.
MILK (2008) dir. Gus Van Sant 🌸
Tumblr media
In 1972, Harvey Milk and his then-lover Scott Smith leave New York for San Francisco, with Milk determined to accomplish something meaningful in his life. Settling in the Castro District, he opens a camera shop and helps transform the area into a mecca for gays and lesbians. In 1977 he becomes the nation's first openly gay man elected to a notable public office when he wins a seat on the Board of Supervisors. The following year, Dan White kills Milk in cold blood.
i watched this just as i was coming to terms with my own queerness. i wanted to learn more about queer history and this movie came out at the exact perfect time for that. i was a freshman in high school, i'd never heard of Harvey Milk before, but my mom had and she encouraged me to watch it. it got me doing a lot more research into queer history and learning where we came from so while the movie may not be perfect, may not be wholly accurate, i thank it for that.
TITAN A.E. (2000) dir. Don Bluth & Gary Goldman 🌸
Tumblr media
"Titan A.E." takes place in the distant future, after Earth has been obliterated by a mysterious alien race known as the Drej. Cale is a human teenager who has been given a mysterious map by his father, leading him on an unforgettable journey.
i am nothing if not an absolute slut for Don Bluth movies. that man illustrated my childhood. as i got older my mom told me about Titan A.E. and said it was a must watch for my nerdy ass. she was correct. it's not the perfect movie but it's a great look at what Don Bluth and Gary Goldman could've done if we'd considered "animation for adults" back then. we're finally getting somewhere with it now, and i like to think we have them to thank in part for that.
also fun story my husband met one of the animators for this film at a party where a lot of people were doing a lot of drugs and he gave him his card AND MY HUSBAND LOST IT
alright anon and friends i hope i haven't ruined your opinion of me with my taste in movies ~ thank you to all the gifmakers that have made gifs of these films, i'm so glad i didn't have to make one for all of them lmao.

Excerpt from “The Making of Miami Vice” (including info about Evan)
“The show appeals to people whose fantasy lives revolves around Ferraris, Italian linen suits, Rolex watches, beautiful apartments, beautiful women, beautiful men. Unlike the typical scenario of the cop standing out in the cold while the bad guy is having a ball, Sonny and Rico have all the fun. The talk hip, they drive one hundred and fifteen thousand dollar sports cars, they go to the hip parties. They have all the fun of being bad guys, but they’re the good guys.”
Mann asked Cohen if he was interested in directing an episode. But at the time, he was producing a movie for Tri-Star, The Legend of Billie Jean, and he couldn’t. But a month after Cohen’s film project ended, Mann called and asked if he was free. “He told me he wanted to do a comedy. ‘But hey, this series is a drama,’ I told him.” Mann pointed out that there were some crazy characters like Switek, Zito, Izzy, and Noogie, and he wanted Cohen to build a story around the for of them. “He said he’d put me in touch with Joel Surnow, who was story editor then. I was very excited—not just about directing, but being on the ground floor of the story itself. So Joel and I started working together on Made For Each Other, the one and only Miami Vice comedy.” . . .
This episode set the stage for Cohen’s next VICE project, “Evan”, nominated for an Emmy for best editing. “The original script was about a right-wing Cuban group that get these guns to shoot us a Cuban Mardi Gras and blame it on Castro. In the middle of this story about a guy Crockett used to know and hates. He hates him for no Roger reason tha. The rest of another guy who got kill because the first guy was playing hero. Well, I read the script and it just didn’t work. So I had to do what you have to do sometimes down there: I threaten Ed to go home unless someone paid attention to what I was saying. This was on a Friday and we were supposed to start shooting of Wednesday.”
Cohen and some of the other people involved in the production consulted with the story department in LA by phone. He told them he saw the story as being about homosexuality. “This is about what happens when a cop who’s gay in a time when it wasn’t fashionable to be gay commits suicide because Evan, his partner, turns him in and Crockett didn’t do anything. That’s why Crockett hates Evan and hates himself.” . . .
The week of shooting “Evan” was, Cohen recalls, a magical one, filled with suprises. His thirty-sixth birthday took place on the night they shot a gas station scene in which the friendship between the two cops is deepened because of Crockett’s confession—the he could’ve intervened and didn’t. “That seven-minute, uninterrupted scene is something I’ll always be very proud of. The episode had no right to be that good because of the original script.”
