This is one of my favorite films of all time. Although some think it is dated, I think it still stands up as an examination of various types of people and how they deal with being gay in a world dominated by breeders. The first time I saw this I loved the first half, but felt uncomfortable with the second half when Michael turns on his friends. On repeated viewings ,I found I could relate to Michael's plight. He wanted to be loved and accepted by society, but he felt this would never happen since he was gay. And since he was miserable, he wanted to inflict his anger and misery on others. Of course this backfired and he ended up alone and with a hangover at the end of the movie. I agree with Michael Jones in that I have known people like "The Boys in the Band".A perfect 10 of a film!
