Brace yourselves. This list of the Top 100 Greatest Gay Movies is probably going to generate some howls of protest thanks to a rather major upset in the rankings. Frankly, one that surprised the hell out of us here at AfterElton.
But before we get to that, an introduction. A few weeks ago we asked AfterElton readers to submit up to ten of their favorite films by write-in vote. We conducted a similar poll several years ago, but a lot has happened culturally since then, and a number of worthy movies of gay interest have been released. We wanted to see how your list of favorites had changed.
We also wanted to expand our list to 100 from the top 50 we had done previously. We figured there were finally enough quality gay films to justify the expansion. And we wanted to break out gay documentaries onto their own list (You'll find the...

Several shows that are popular around these parts got renewed yesterday – Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, America’s Next Top Model, Gossip Girl and 90210 are coming back, which means between the last two, we should get 14 minutes of gay representation for their combined seasons.
In Minnesota, Republicans are taking steps to constitutionally ban marriage equality. But what caught my eye was down in the comments, “Democracy! Bah! Whenever I hear that, I reach for my feather boa!”
Darren Criss spends his down time on set with Max Adler and Dot Marie Jones, who both crack him up. But in his personal life, there’s no down time, and after filming wraps and the tour is over, he’ll be working with Starkids, writing music before returning to Glee in the fall.
My favorite rumor-busting site, Gossip Cop, is moving their brand of fact-based journalism to a television pilot. Lead cop, founder, and...

Jc Calciano‘s Is It Just Me? (top); Nicole Conn‘s Elena Undone (middle); Roberto Moreira‘s Paulista (bottom) Jc Calciano‘s Is It Just Me?, Anna Margarita Albelo‘s Hooters!, Roberto Moreira‘s Paulista, and Nicole Conn‘s Elena Undone are some of the films screening at Outfest 2010 on Friday, July 16. Is It Just Me? is a West Hollywood-set romantic comedy that borrows plot elements from Cyrano de Bergerac: Blaine (Nicholas Downs) falls in love with Xander (David Loren) after chatting with him online. The glitch is that the profile picture Blaine saw was that of Xander’s hunky roommate Cameron (Adam Huss). Hooters! is a documentary about the making of Cheryl Dunye‘s The Owls, screened last weekend at Outfest. In Paulista, an actress (Sílvia Lourenço), a lawyer (Maria Clara Spinelli), and an author (Fábio Herford) look for love in the streets of bustling São Paulo. Elena Undone...

HollywoodNews.com: If you’ve never been on a date to the Ford Ampitheatre during Outfest, I’ve got the perfect occasion for you: the screening of the sweet romantic comedy Is It Just Me? which screens at the Ford on Saturday, July 16.
It’s always fun to pack a picnic and some wine and show up an hour or so early and eat on the grounds. It’s a really lovely time.
Is It Just Me? is written and directed by Jc Calciano who I met a few weeks back. He has put together a very appealing cast for this movie about a writer named Blaine (Nicholas Downs) who is running very low on self- confidence in the guy department.
He meets Xander (David Loren) first at a coffee house then online and they click. But his hunky roomie Cameron’s (Adam Huss) photo appears on...

I met Mr. J.C. Calciano during the 2010 Palm Springs International Film Festival, where his film, "Is It Just Me?" had its world premiere. "Is It Just Me?" was put under the banners of the John Schlesinger Award and World Cinema Now -- celebrating diversity in humanistic storytelling. Not bad for a first-time filmmaker!
While Calciano is making his feature debut, he's hardly a newbie in the business. He earned an associate producer credit for 1996's "Mission Impossible," as well as running the new media division of Melanie Griffith's One World Networks, and being the former head of production for Tom Cruise's C/W Productions at Paramount Pictures. (Check his IMDb page right here, and an in-depth interview with him right here)
I'm so glad that Calciano shared his film with me. Inundated with watching blockbuster films, seeing "Is It Just Me?" was a treat. The film tells the...
