Rad Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Okay, so I guess almost everyone here has watched the movie, but I just watched it :) And I think that is one sweet movie..... Jamie & Ste & their journey to find themselves, before they found each other instead... There are LOTS of awwwww moments in the movies. But I like it most is when the two boys kissed for the first time But what I really like about this movie is the tenderness... How they react to each other, the looks, the body language, even the cries Usually cries in the movie annoy the hell outta me Oh, and it reminds me of the way teenagers used to dress back in the mid 90's For all of us who were teens back then or remember those days, I mean, gosh, Did we ever dressed like that???? Well, I can't say a lot about the movie without giving out spoilers So for anyone else who hasn't watch the movie, I recommend it! You can download it ! Cheers! Rad N.B : I got around 90% of the movie the rest lost in the British accent Link to comment
Guest Rustic Monk Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Yeah, this is one of my favourite movies Link to comment
Trab Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Haven't been able to find it, and have now wasted some 3 hours trying to download it. It seems there'r just about no seeds out there. There may be some in those sites where you have to register, but I'm not going to join site after site in order to finally find one that works.

The Pecman Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Trab, Beautiful Thing came out about 11 years ago (1996). It's widely available for rental on DVD very inexpensively, from Netflix and many others. I don't know of it available legally anywhere for download, but no doubt it's up on Bit-torrent and other similar sites. Link to comment

Guest Rustic Monk Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Man, there were a lot of awesome movies in the 90's. Link to comment
Guest Rustic Monk Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I know it's not a gay story, but The Amazing Adventures of Two Girls in Love was pretty good, too. Link to comment
Trab Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 None of the local (within 50 miles) video places has Beautiful Thing for rent. That's the only reason I'd even consider downloading it: non availability. I don't believe in pirating shows, but if they're no longer available, that's kinda an indication I'm not taking food from someone's table. I had a situation once, in which I tried to bring in a photographic unit which is completely unavailable in Canada. I was quoted $400 in import duties. I questioned it, and was told it was protections for Canadian manufacturers. When I asked for the names and addresses, so I could get it within Canada, I was told there weren't any. Next time I was on vacation I had a particularly heavy suitcase in the bottom of the trunk of my car. Just for your info, the $400 duty was the same amount as the value of the article itself. 100% duty. Bullshit. I just realized that I'm off on a tangent. My apologies. Link to comment
Tanuki Racoon Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I bought Beautiful Thing online (Amazon) with nary any trouble last year.... Link to comment
Trab Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Amazon sells movies? Sorry. I've never gone to their site. I thought they were just into selling books, and I just go to the bookstore for those. Link to comment
blue Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Yup, Amazon sells books, movies, CD's... they'd probably sell you your grandmother, if she'd let 'em. I'm not knocking them. Personally, I consider them one of the best, most satisfying online stores. ----- Beautiful Thing is avail. on DVD and was avail. on VHS. It's worth watching. It's one of the first "gay videos" I ever watched. :-o OMG! Two boys who like each other, dancing! Note: The sky has not fallen yet, contrary to excitable, yet foul and paltry, poultry sources.

Tanuki Racoon Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 For a movie with very little sexual activity it is VERY sensual. Link to comment
Rad Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 For a movie with very little sexual activity it is VERY sensual. True, very-very little sexual activity. But it IS very-very sensual. Besides, I really2x like the first time they kissed. It's soooo tender. Just two boys who like each other. And the way they looked at each other too. They don't even need to say anything. Their gaze spoke volumes Link to comment
Trab Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I'm looking forward to it, as I've ordered it from Amazon Link to comment
dude Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 The first kiss was tender... but so was the run back through the park from the gay pub... with Mama Cass singing Make Your Own Kind of Music... that was priceless. So was the final scene (dancing). One of my favorite DVD's. Link to comment
dude Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Thirdeye wrote loved this movie, another great British one is "Get Real" I agree Thirdeye. Get Real was really great too. Saw it with some local friends here in Borneo a couple weeks back. Hey guy, good to see you again. Your avatar wasn't showing up for some reason so I went and downloaded it and it loads from our board now. Another friendly service of AwesomeDude.com! Link to comment
Trab Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I'm getting goose bumps guys. I actually ordered Get Real and Beautiful Thing as a dual set, and shipping was free. This is going to be awesome. Link to comment
dude Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Next thing we'll be hearing is that Trab is seeing a doctor for his teenage 'spots' Link to comment
Trab Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Sorry, Dude. That one went right over my head. "Teenage spots" ??? Link to comment
blue Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Spots = UK slang for pimples, acne. ----- I've seen Get Real, and I'd recommend it, but it is emotionally tougher than Beautiful Thing. Get Real deals with the tougher side of real stuff. Beautiful Thing deals with some very real and tough stuff too, but in a different way. Link to comment

ACNE! spots on the face caused by those nasty hormonal changes set off by puberty! I have to admit... Americans don't use 'spots' it's used more by folks in former British Colonies, more recently liberated than those in North AmeriKa. Link to comment

Trab Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Wow. I got A Beautiful Thing and watched it the other night. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have done this with my 85 year old mother also watching. It's not so much that she was upset about the gay theme, which was pretty mild, and wonderfully poignant, but she couldn't stop talking about the swearing, the hatefulness of many of the people towards each other, and the downright hopelessness that was portrayed. I'm not concerned that this upset her, but more that she talked about it throughout the whole movie. I'm really going to have to watch it again, by myself this time. Link to comment
