Oooh - briefer write ups than I intended.
LXXXIX: The Spy Who Loved Me (Lewis Gilbert, 1977)
Anglo-Soviet entente, as Bond and Russian spy go in search of submarines stolen by a reclusive millionaire who wants to hold the world to ransom. With car chases.
XC: Live and Let Die (Guy Hamilton, 1973)
White-black entente, as Bond goes in search of drugs distributed by a reclusive millionaire who wants to hold the world to ransom. With car chases.
XCI: The Man with the Golden Gun (Guy Hamilton, 1974)
Entente, as Bond goes in search of technology stolen by a reclusive millionaire who wants to hold the world to ransom. With car chases.
XCII: Captain's Paradise (Robert Hamer, 1953)
Amusing Alec Guinness farce about a captain with a sensible domestic wife in one port and a sexy attractive one in another; then the domestic one becomes sexually awakened and the sexy one gets domestic longings. It looks like it's going to undercut its premise, but the film still leaves a binary between mother and whore (for want of better terms).
XCIII: The Art of Being Straight (Jesse Rosen, 2008)
Remarkably brief comedy, rather forgettable, about denial. Straight man comes out of relationship, crashes on buddy's couch, seduced by man at new job, denial, denial, but maybe not. Sadly forgettable.
XCIV: Eating Out 3 - All You Can Eat (Glenn Gaylord, 2009)
According to the trailer - "The First Gay Trilogy (since Lord of the Rings)". Follows the pattern of the earlier films in which men must pretend to be a different sexuality to get the man they want. Fitfully amusing.
XCV: Were the World Mine (Thomas Gustafson, 2008)
Rather cute musical version of Dead Poets Society - openly gay Timothy is to play Puck in an all-male school and finds a potion which makes people fall in love with the first person they see - cuing an outbreak of homosexuality. Cake and eat it ending, rather heavy-handed politics and performing gay is a little too stereotyped, but it is performing. Magic, chemistry or delusion?
Totals: 95 (Cinema: 20; DVD: 60; Video: 1; TV: 14)
