Latter Days--A must see gay romantic movie

There are thousands of romantic movies around, millions even--ever since the introduction of motion picture in the 1860's, but most of them tells of a love story b/w a straight guy who falls for a straight gal or vice versa. After a few conflicts in the story they still end up together and THE END.

But there are only a handful of romantic films which tells the story of two guys in love with each other, in which we gays can relate--Talking about the good times and the kilig moments. hehehe. One of them is the must see Latter Days. I just saw this film recently and man i was so kili! Kilig to the bones ika nga.

The "Grandly Romantic" (New York Times), "Sweepingly Romantic Story" (Los Angeles Times) Latter Days is a gay romantic drama set in Los Angeles, released in 2003. It portrays the seduction of Aaron (played by Steve Sandvoss), a Mormon missionary, by Christian (Wes Ramsey), an LA party animal who falls in love with him. The film, written and directed by C. Jay Cox, stars Steve Sandvoss as Aaron Davis, Wes Ramsey as Christian Markelli, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Elder Ryder, and Rebekah Johnson as Julie Taylor. Mary Kay Place and Jacqueline Bisset have supporting roles.

Latter Days premiered at the Philadelphia International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival on 10 July 2003. It was released across America over the next 12 months, and was released, mostly at gay film festivals, in a few other countries. It was not well received by film critics, although it was popular with most film festival attendees. In 2004 T. Fabris made Latter Days into a novel, which was published by Alyson Publications.
