Former Advocate arts editor Alonso Duralde wrote "101 Must-See Movies for Gay Men" as a means to educate those younger then us in the finer cinematic lessons that can be learned from the likes of Margo Channing, Edie Beale and Tyler Durden.
Film, as Martin Scorsese said, creates within us a common memory, and nowhere is that more true then among gay men with the cinephile gene. This entertaining book is not only a valuable starting point to brush up on the classics (Auntie Mame, Written on the Wind), but a great way to reacquaint yourself with old favorites you never realized were way queer (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory).
And be sure to check out this awesome video compilation of Duralde's "101".
