Most homoerotic movie you can think of

Top Gun

Tango & Cash

Apartment Zero

Fight Club

For me, Y Tu Mama Tambien.

Anything with Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Beau Travail

If you like 'em old and haggard, I guess The Outsiders would fit the bill.

Querelle

Van Damme part 2

White Squall

I think there are probably several Dolph Lundgren movies that fit this category. Also: BOOGIE NIGHTS, YOUNGBLOOD (for Swayze and Rob Lowe), GHOST (for Swayze and Goldwyn), VISION QUEST (for Matthew Modine and some of the other guys).

Querelle, for sure. I saw it in the movies, and I was hard throughout most of the picture

Das Boot

Head On

In the sword & sandal genre: 300, Gladiator, Spartacus,

These older films are great, but is there anything more recent?

And -- just out of curiosity-- anything at all genuinely gay-themed?

Deliverance

Can't Stop The Music seemed a bit homoerotic.

I guess we all assumed you'd heard of Moonlight, Call Me by Your Name, In God's Country and Brokeback Mountain.

Apartment Zero absolutely has an unspoken gay element. It’s not recent, but it’s likely far better than any recent movies.

And it has peak Hart Bochner.

GLADIATOR!!!

Marco Berger is great at this thing. Check out "Hawaii".

Casino Royale had some delicious moments.

Sebastiane

Weekend

[quote]Please: NO TWINKS. I am not turned on by Timothee Chalamet or his ilk. I want something about HOT MEN, not skinny boys.

No movie for you, ASSHOLE. I wouldn't share a HOT MEN movie with a TURDPOCKET like you. Thankfully, no one has mentioned yet the first one I was going to recommend. AFAIC, you should be tied to a chair and forced to watch every version of LITTLE WOMEN ever made, on a permanent loop.

Orderlies, I see r27 has refused to take his medication again. Please strap him up and administer it. You need not do so orally. Thank you.

Ben Hur (the original).

L'homme Blesse

Star Ship Troopers

Leni Riefenstahl's Olympia

Song of Norway.

Action Jackson has some great high-sitting, oiled-to-a-sheen tits. Sharon Stone's and Vanity's are nice too, I guess.

9 songs

Point Break

You might like The War Boys, Brian J. Smith and Benjamin Walker are manly dude bros who get it on with lots of tension between them and that’s just a side plot to the movie, not the main storyline. Jumping to TV and bringing up a Brian J. Smith again at the risk of being attacked on DL, I would also recommend Sense8 on Netflix. It’s all about sexual fluidity and just about every one of the 8, plus more, end up intertwined at some point gay and straight guys alike.

300 has to be the most homoerotic film of all time.

Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu all have gay and lesbian interest film sections. Why are you trolling us on this OP?

L'inconnu du lac (Stranger by the Lake)

This is what comes to my mind. I know it’s about two women, but it is still very erotic.

POINT BREAK with Keanu and Patrick...

and La Partida, cuban film

The gayest movie I've seen that doesn't seem to know how gay it is, is The Eagle, starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell.

"Wings," from 1927.

The Lost Boys

Internal Affairs.You keep waiting for Gere and Garcia to just say "fuck it" and actually fuck.

[quote] Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu all have gay and lesbian interest film sections. Why are you trolling us on this OP?

All of those movies are not equally homoerotic. I am asking for the MOST homoerotic film, not a complete listing of all homoerotic films.

I really want to say Bad Influence with Rob Lowe and James Spader, but I haven't seen it in 20 years and don't remember why I'd think it's homoerotic. So, how about Rules of Attraction?

Rain Man

FREE FALL (2013) Available on Hulu and Amazon

The Hitcher with Rutger Hauer and C. Thomas Howell. Rutger gets a ride with twinky Howell, makes an unwanted move and then chases him the rest of the movie.

I love the UST between Robert Downey Jr. and in "Less Than Zero". It becomes clear that Spader and RDJ had a sexual relationship in the past.

Crash, directed by David Cronenberg. James Spader is sexual with everyone, and has a hot makeout scene with Elias Koteas in a car.

I second R50's suggestion. It was pretty good with the romantic/sexual tension. German w/ subtitles.

Maurice owns this thread. Including full frontal for two guys and Hugh Grant making out. Also The Cakemaker.

An Australian movie called "Cut Snake". Big buff guy (Sullivan Stapleton) seeks out his ex-cellmate to talk him into one last job. We find out they were lovers inside and SS is still in love/lust with the guy. Ex-cellmate is now married and not keen on going back to that life; SS is jealous. Stapleton looks at the guy like he wants to eat him alive. The whole movie is available free on Youtube.

Burnt Money is the sexiest movie I’ve ever seen. The two leads are gorgeous, and the screen practically burns up with their chemistry. Nothing I’ve ever seen can hold a candle to it.

South Pacific. That opening number with all the singing sailors. You know what they did without dames right??

Jarhead comes to mind. Joyride with the late Paul Walker too. Who's that perv director...Victor Salva I think? Powder, all the Jeeper Creepers movies.

Agreed on Sebastiane, with Private Romeo running a close second.

I F&F'd R20 for you, OP for not reading the request and also for giving a list of "safe" top 40 style movies.

Gattaca

Who the fuck made you hall monitor, R60?

I FFed r60 for you, r60, for being a douchebag and a horse's ass.

Great idea to use f/f on innocuous posts since you get an unlimited supply.

O Fantasma has a scene where a handcuffed cop gets a handjob against his will and it’s as hot as any porn out there.

Gidget Goes Hawaiian

CMBYN

Exit to Eden

The 4th Man from 1983

Spartacus

SHELTER. California surfer bro runs into his best bro's older brother. Things happen.

The scene R65 is talking about . . .

Masquerade with Rob Lowe and Doug Savant wins, sorry to everyone else...

Yeah, there's also this from Masquerade, excusing the lame music video treatment...

[quote]And -- just out of curiosity-- anything at all genuinely gay-themed?

There's "My Beautiful Laundrette," which has a couple very erotic scenes, beautifully filmed. Here's a YouTube video of excerpts with the characters Omar and Johnny.

The Fast and the Furious (2001) and the sequel, 2Fast 2Furious (2003)

Head On starring Alex Dimitriades

And

O Fantasma

Both show erect cock, the latter shows real oral sex

Beaches

Anything with Seth Rogen. Cock and Fuck will be the only 2 words used and you'll see more penises than a hardcore gay orgy. Oh, but because its "so disgusting and funny", no gay tendencies at all /s.

Midnight Express

Return of mary Poppins

The wrestling in "Women In Love."

Cruising with Al Pacino at his peak. Considered anti-gay at the time (1980), the movie is ready for a revaluation.

r82 ladies, there's no need to fight over me.

There's a movie from 1990 called Jesus Of Montreal-There's a scene where this actor portraying Jesus on the cross in naked and these two police detectives help him down from the cross. I found that scene SEXY.

Dude where’s my car

X-Men First Class and Days of Future Past. The sexual tension between McAvoy and Fassbender is quite palpable.

Where the Bears Are 2

Peter Greenaway's The Pillow Book (1996) - writing on male flesh can be so erotic.

[quote]Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu all have gay and lesbian interest film sections. Why are you trolling us on this OP?

Because those sites’ gay movie selections are poorly organized.

Amazon is the worst organized of any of the streaming sites.

no shit, they need hire new people, pitiful

Velvet Goldmine!

Un chant d'amour (1950) by Jean Genet.

POISON (1991) - Directed by Todd Haynes

Fight club

American Flyers, starring Kevin Costner as a Chad Douglas power top who gives his brother the best ride of his life.

Mission Impossible 2

R55, thanks for the Cut Snake recommendation, just saw it on Prime and it was a wow! Somewhat predictable plotting but some nice twists and good acting.

(It was a llittle like the Aaron Hernandez story in that i felt myself torn over rooting for a murderer to find true love with his man...)

Not sexy or anything, but for me the most unintentionally homoerotic movie I've ever seen is Boondock Saints. It's also one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

There's one scene in the film where the two leads, who are supposed to be brothers, both decide to become vigilantes and they're sitting on their beds shirtless, silently staring into each other's eyes and smirking.

It's not just me who thinks this either; I read a review where the critic complained how the two main characters are supposed to be brothers, but come across more like lovers.

There is one legit gay character in the film though, so maybe it has a gay director or writer?

Hercules starring Kellan Lutz.

Interview with the Vampire

a single man

so good, then his next one with mr cutie pie was wretched

R74 I like the Ken Laszlo soundtrack!

It's a rape scene but so beautifully shot it could be a Caravaggio painting.

Hair-1979. Especially BLACKBOYS/WHITEBOYS song

[quote]Head On starring Alex Dimitriades

I forgot all about that movie.

Four Moons (2014), Mexican film about gay men at 4 stages of their lives.

Strapped (2010), male hustler is lost in a maze-like apartment building.

"A Single Man" lays on the homoeroticism with a trowel, especially in the scenes in which the Colin Firth character interacts with the Nicholas Hoult character. Also, the tennis court scene.

R110 - the scene with Jon Kortajarena was pretty smokin' too.

The Dirty Dozen 1967 Directed by Robert Aldrich/he directed Joan Crawford, Bette Davis and these guys....

Obviously, Leo is twinky in "Romeo + Juliet" (1996) but Harold Perrineau adds the right tension. DiCaprio spends more of the movie engaged in bro-affection than with Juliet.

Harold Perrineau in R+J. HOT.

Some of you don't understand the difference between homoerotic and full on gay or homosexual.

The Women

How about The Defiant Ones - Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier are prison escapees chained together. They hate each other at the beginning but they end up caring about each other during their escape. They share cigarettes, and cuddle up in the rain to get warm. After they chains are broken, Tony goes into a swamp to rescue Sidney from the approaching lawmen.

Agree with R82 on "Women in Love" and the nude wrestling scene for most intensely homoerotic (but not homosexual) film, directed by the great sensualist, Ken Russell. The same film features the most autoerotic (but not masturbatory) scene with Alan Bates running naked through the woods and "making love to himself in nature."

r115, we're only doing what the OP requested:

[quote] It can be explicitly gay-themed or not, but it must have the sexiest display of male flesh imaginable.

So there.

Well the OP is wrong, because it shouldn't be overtly gay themed.

[quote] Well the OP is wrong, because it shouldn't be overtly gay themed.

You can slurp my shit, bossy cunt at r120.

There will be no shit slurping today. It’s the same old argument as the definition of camp. Just find a legitimate production that made your heart pound.

Most of the superhero movies work in a healthy dose of homoeroticism - especially origin stories.

R115/r120, homoerotic can be either textual or subtextual. Seems you only think it can be subtextual, but that’s not the case.

I wonder if that guy was really jerked off in that scene in O'Fantasma since rumor is some of the other scenes had real sex in them.

r124 looked fake as hell to me.

Okage. A japanese movie. Saw it years ago and found it very hot.

Okage. A japanese movie.

I don't think anybody on this thread will disagree with my choice. Skip the movie. Get the dvds for Oz, the entire series. Just about every episode has it's rewards, with a very hot, revolving cast.

The Lion King

Five dances

From beginning to end

Contracorriente [Undertow]

Redwoods

...

R109 Thanks, that sounds right up my alley.

R117 Good call!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, DRAKE & JOSH if you like twinks and camp.

The Return of Lassie

Les roseaux sauvages de Téchiné

La meilleure façon de marcher by Claude Miller : two young men, one of them don't know who he is yet. Dewaere at his highest.

R136 that girl is beautiful and her looks are flawless. How does she get to look like that?

R137This was Christine Pascal : she was very young when she appeared in "la meilleure façon de marcher". She had the most expressive eyes and she knew how to accentuate them. She was a director too. She directed the most touching movie about a dying child (without pathos) "le petit prince a dit". She committed suicide.

Fight club is an overrated mess of a movie. There I said it.

R136

I found this scene rather suggestive but the rest of the film 'Themroc' was rather annoying.

R140, i've never seen "Temroc". I was talking about "la meilleure façon de marcher" with Dewaere and Bouchitey. The English title is "the best way to walk". Dewaere's character is attracted to Bouchitey 's character whom, he once caught dressed like a woman.

I agree with whoever said Days of Future Past. So much sexual tension between Charles and Erik damn

R142 and don’t forget about lovely cubby Shawn Ashmore playing gay Bobby Drake.

James Brolin and Richard Benjamin in Westworld. Bro Lin’s character may have pretended to be a pussyhound but you can tell he was hoping to get into Dicks ass.

Times Square Strip, 1982

r144 yeah the xmen are gay

Gallipoli was, in a way. I despise Mel Gibson but he and Mark Lee were both beautiful in it. If you've never seen it before it's definitely worth a watch. Music and cinematography are spectacular.

I don't think A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 has been mentioned yet. Seriously homoerotic. Freddy whips a guy who's naked in the locker room showers, the coach goes to a gay bar, etc. There have been many interviews and discussions about it. Like no one really realized how gay it was until after the fact. Plus it was such a mainstream movie. Only in the 80's...what a memorable time.

r148 don’t forget the hardon at the end of the fight scene! i’m still surprised they didn’t edit that out.

^^^ Are you talking about the man in black sweats pants at the end? Or is something edited from this clip, there’s a little time jump when they roll around?

r150 I’m talking about Mark Patton, who is gay, was known to be friends with Robert Rusler, and did not appear to mind rolling around with him, at least in 0:27-0:28 of the clip you linked.

Wow lol I never noticed that. It looks so obvious now lol.

I can't believe you people made it 150+ posts into this thread without mentioning The Covenant.

Robert Rusler was pretty in Nightmare in 1985 and he's still handsome today.

To add: Rebel Without a Cause Hercules (tv) Youngblood

I wish Moonlight was more homoerotic. It seemed like the main character was mostly celibate.

Interview with the Vampire

Fright Night

Laurel & Hardy: Sons of the Desert

[quote] James Spader is sexual with everyone.

Not I, bitch.

Seven men living together, working in the coal mines, none with a significant woman but all worshiping their princess. "Snow White" is as gay-themed (and if you are under 10 homoerotic) as you can get.

A Night in Heaven was one if the many 80s films that masked as a film for women but really aimed at gay men

Definition of "stud" "stripper" body sure has changed since then.

R163 That skinny, twink Christopher Atkins was never a 'stud'.

Jamón Jamón. Nocturnal bullfight scene in particular, but the whole movie.

r136, would you agree that it was the Patrick Dewaere character who was really gay, and overcompensating on the butchness?

Dewaere was heartbreakingly beautiful.

What hardon at the end of what fight scene in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2, R149?

Wow, 167 posts and NOBODY mentioned Fellini’s SATYRICON.

Philistines! The lot of you!!!!

OP here are the Turkish wrestlers from Topkapi. Melina Mercouri seems to think they are quite a turn on. The scene was a bit surprising for a 60s light comedy. Anyway, you can't accuse me of posing a link towards twinks

Unfortunately, they put a new age score (!) like some Loreena McKennit. It has nothing to do with the real score. Oh well. If anybody has a better clip than mine, please post it.

Wrestling is very homoerotic....

r167 meet r151

R166 sorry for the délayer. I think they were both gay but Bouchitey 's character was aware of his inclinations and Dewaere' s character was either asleep (waiting for something or someone to trigger it) or in denial. The time period in the movie was the sixties and sex revolution had not happened yet. About Dewaere, i like his insolence, his fragility and his dimpled chin.

^^delay

I think Dewaere did a few nude scenes before his early demise.

Pond scene in A Room with a View. Rupert Graves would be a delightful skinny dipping friend. I always fantasize about Freddy Honeychurch’s college days... that would be a homoerotic movie!

I've been recommending Cut Snake (thanks DL) and everyone who's seen it has loved it, and some have watched it more than once.

That was my rec R176 and I'm glad to see this movie get some attention. Sullivan Stapleton.... hmmm. He is much man.

What's funny is the older British guy in the scene with Rupert(that's gay in real life)has the bigger dick.

Anybody care to look at some actual definitions?

Homoerotic: concerning or arousing sexual desire centered on a person of the same sex.

Homoeroticism is sexual attraction between members of the same sex, either male–male or female–female. The concept differs from the concept of homosexuality: it refers specifically to the desire itself, which can be temporary, whereas "homosexuality" implies a more permanent state of identity or sexual orientation.

r172, interesting; my impression, based on the film's coda (set several years later), was that Bouchitey's character was a str8 guy who merely had a fetish for wearing women's clothes, while the Dewaere character was gay, deeply closeted, putting forth an excessively butch front and threatened by Bouchitey's nonchalant acceptance of his own sexual fetish.

.And nobody has mentioned Buster and Billie. Best nude scene of all.

R55, was that the guy from Daredevil in that scene from "Cut Snake"?

Red River- 1948

Lawrence of Arabia- 1962

The Sergeant- 1968

From Here to Eternity-1953- there is a scene on the road between a drunken Clift and Lancaster - in reality Clift was really drunk in the scene.

And although I am not a woman, if I was I would recommend" Les Diaboliques" with Simone Signoret- 1955, and of course " Calamity Jane" -1953 with Doris Day at her gayest.

R180 When he was interviewed about " La meilleure façon de marcher", Miller explained that what he wanted to film was the story of an humiliation based on an interview of Ingmar Bergman declaring that when somebody was humiliated, he or she was more likely to become more mature. At the end of the movie, Marc who is now an estate agent visits flats with Philippe and his girlfriend and he said "there are closets everywhere" meaning that both, Philippe and him had the opportunity to change their life but they didn't act on it, they chose the closet. According to Miller, both were gay but it was another time of shame and despair.

For fans of classic cinema, Gilda. (1946). The relationship between Johnny and Balin.

300 (2007)

Saw.

R178 That would be Simon Callow. I would have sex with him just for his beautiful voice.

This clip features some twee song, probably put together by a frau, but the film, Plan B, is FULL of sexual tension. Two straight Argentinian friends... spend some lazy afternoons together and explore. No definitions. They barely even acknowledge anything is happening, which makes it kind of hotter.

The same director dialed up the tension even more with his film Hawaii about a man at his family home who takes in a wayward neighbor to help around the house. There isn't even a formal sex scene -- it's all about the homoerotic tension and it is HOT. No, the guys aren't models, but the heat the filmmaker generates is unreal.

[quote]the heat the filmmaker generates is unreal

R190 It's unreal AND massively annoying. Eugenio's contradictory actions make no sense from any standpoint and by the end you just want to bitch slap the director.

[quote]Some gay audiences might describe the film as a 100-minute cock-tease while others might find Hawaii's earnest tone laughable or pretentious, or both

I totally get that view, R192. The ambiguity worked for me.

I feel like this SCENE needs no explanation, and though I do not believe the whole film is homoerotic you certainly can't get much camper than Dolly ❤️

Ravenous

Check out any movie with Ronnie Kerr. Effortless charisma and smoking hot body.

Are you Ronnie, R196 ?

This clip includes that ex-footballer, all-out-gay and wanna-be actor, Aussie lunkhead Ian Roberts.

Here to say Apartment Zero is definitely worth it. I haven't watched it in a couple decades, but it's stuck with me. I explained it once as, "This guy does what he has to in order to survive" to a right-wing tool that asked me for movie recommendations. He liked it, even with "the main character going fag".

avengers endgame

Really, R199 ?

If so I would watch it.

L.A. Tool & Die

Not "THE most," but -- TWO MOON JUNCTION, co-starring the amazing Richard Tyson.

WEIRD SCIENCE.

Very homoerotic, and yet homophobic at the same time.

That scene with Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) in female underwear, with his brother Chet in just a towel, was a very odd scene.

I don't even know why Wyatt was wearing the women's underwear in the first place. Not to mention that he could have changed into normal clothes right after waking up - but he didn't.

Instead, he chose to wear the panties into the kitchen to cook breakfast. That's where his brother Chet caught him in the panties, and proceeded to strip off his towel and told Wyatt to "cover up." Leaving Chet standing there naked in front of Wyatt in his panties.

Strangest scene EVER.

Shortly after this scene, Chet (Bill Paxton) is standing there buck ass naked.

Tell me why a director would find it necessary to put this in the movie?

And don't get me started on how handsy Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt were with each other in Weird Science.

Martyr - a religious Israeli movie. It's not a gay movie but has very homoerotic scenes.

R206 Anthony-Michael Hall brings homoerotic chemistry to everything he’s in.

My favorite is the UST he has with Noah Wylie in PIRATES OF SILICON VALLEY (1999). They don’t even touch at all, but the lustful long seconds of gazing and sultry conversations and flirtatious presentations say it all. It’s sone ways it’s thematically like a tech-hippie version of PERFECT BLUE.

I'm curious what OP means by homoerotic (apologies if addressed elsewhere).

Half of the responses seem to be listing movies that have clear gay sex and/or gay characters in sexual situations.

Half are more implied homoerotic moments - some in the script and some likely played by the actors for subtext - where physical yearning or attraction is implied/suggested/hinted at but perhaps not fully explored by words or actions.

Just curious, OP - if you're still around - which one you were looking for, or if both were acceptable answers.

As somebody mentioned, Marco berger specializes in this genre. Check out sexual tension volatile and taekwondo

[quote]That scene with Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) in female underwear, with his brother Chet in just a towel, was a very odd scene.

It’s an iconic Homoerotic scene.

In the 90s I attended a panel and Bill Paxton made a reference about a seduction within this particular scene. I always thought he understood that scene to be a little incestuous.

Whiplash.

Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (1958)

Considering the time it was made, plus Hollywood eliminating any hint of homosexuality from the original play, Paul Newman did a remarkable job on his own of bringing just the right touch of repressed homosexuality to his character. Otherwise, the movie wouldn't have worked with Brick rejecting a wife that looked like Elizabeth Taylor (IMO, she never looked better than here).

Midnight Run.

The Strange Ones with Alex Pettyfer. He is beautiful in this.

It's a good film and really makes you think. Did he or didn't he? Is there a protaganist?

R133 weren't Drake & Josh basically a couple all but officially in that movie and also irl on set? Which would tip it into just plain homo over homoerotic..

"Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence".

And wonderful soundtrack too.

This ain't bad, though I find it a little distracting when two actors' heads are mismatched sizes.

What about the shower scene and the strip search scene in MIDNIGHT EXPRESS (1978)

True, r6 - I remember there was even a film where a guy massaged J-C's feet for no real reason.

Captain America: Winter Soldier.

r162, that last scene where the hot daddy husband forced Atkins to strip naked at gunpoint and plead for his life was weird, and strangely titillating.

Fight Club, intensely homoerotic.

The Fourth Man. It’s on YouTube. Sexy thriller

Taekwando. Argentinian movie from the guy who brought you "Hawaii"

Just got a video copy of one of the most homoerotic movies of all time: the TV movie DRESS GRAY, with Alec Baldwin, Patrick Cassidy, Timothy Van Patten, et al. Highlights include the scene where Baldwin wrestles Cassidy into submission, and the scene where Cassidy obviously has plans to seduce the hunky Van Patten, but there's plenty more where that came from :-)
