I shall be returning often :) ! There is one film that , once you take a deep breath and look beyond the moments of cringe-tastic acting,  is one of the nicest films I've yet to see. <em>Shelter </em>is a very beautiful and touching story of self discovery, a little bit of angst, a smattering of anguish and a real nice ending. I believe one review  stated that it refreshing that there came a film that was just normal and that it didn't scream of queens or warn about promiscuous sex and  STIs. Its simply a romantic drama that brings a smile to my face and yes, even a tear (k maybe many a tear).  Add to that a really nice soundtrack that I "actually" (*ahem*) purchased. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKsCvcvoZcE" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKsCvcvoZcE</a>       First and foremost, Love the site! very well done to all of you … I shall be returning often :) !

A group of it watched it before, everyone was in bits and pretending they weren't. I cry every time I see it, and it takes a lot for a movie to make me cry!

[youtube=<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8m8zg0Vg5Y" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8m8zg0Vg5Y</a>] It's an amazing movie, set in three different decades and documenting the lesbian experience of different women through the ages. Set in 1961, 1972 and "present day", the segments are all connected by the setting being the same house that they have all lived in. The 1961 segment features Vanessa Redgrave, and will make you cry your eyes out. I'm not going to say anymore, because it will ruin it, just watch it. The 1972 segment stars Chloe Sevigny, Natasha Lyonne and Michelle Williams and will cause you to think about certain issues, and centres around divisions in the feminist movement in college, who don't want to be associated with lesbians. The "present day" part of it has Ellen DeGeneres and Sharon Stone, and features a sex scene between them that made it into a "hottest lesbian sex scene" list! This part is about two women's struggle to concieve a child. All in all, it is an amazing, must-see film for everyone, not just lesbains, and I think that every politician debating Civil Partnership should be forced to watch the 1961 segment!! My favourite one isn’t in the list, it’s “If These Walls Could Talk 2″.
