Your avatar scares me.
And I don't consider The Talented Mr Ripley a gay movie. Gay themed, yes, but gay movie, no.

Joe, I agree about As Good as it Gets, and second the question about The Talented Mr. Ripley, but, Joe, I have to question Y Tu Mama Tambien as a "gay" movie. While popular with the gay community, I hesitate to label the movie "gay."
Which leads, I suppose, to the question, "What is a 'gay' movie?"

But Im A Cheerleader is a musical?
I must know more.
Wrong, sir. Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy - "I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera..."Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera..."Memo bis punitor delicatum"! It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You stole fizzy lifting drinks. You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!

If some producer has some extra cash hiding away, they can give it a limited Off-Broadway run and see how it goes. But it CANNOT be at Dodger (New World, whatever) Stages! Everything there flops!

Two that haven't ben mentioned yet:
The Sum of Us - with a young Russell Crowe before he became an intolerable ass.
Dorian Blues - One of the few gay movies that avoids the typical coming out type of story by having multi-dimensional characters and a storyline that goes beyond the coming out aspect.

Sordid Lives made me laugh very hard. I would have loved to see the play it was based on.
Y Tu Mama--- I can see your point but....don't you see an undercurrent of homoeroticism to the whole film? I thought it a fascinating depiction of how "Macho" men deal with homesexual desires.
And Apartment Zero! that film sort of dropped off the face of the earth. I LOVED that movie!

My love for Mommie Dearest aside, my first (serious!) choice is really Angels in America, though I'm not sure it counts since it was adapted for the small screen. Longtime Companion would be next, since it moved me so deeply. Especially that final scene on the beach. God, I get a lump in my throat just thinking about it.
The Birdcage is probably the most entertaining. :)
The worst? Remember Making Love?!

Angels in America is absolutely brilliant.
The Birdcage is probably my favorite.
In and Out was very funny.
I still need to see But I'm a Cheerleader.
