Prayer for Bobby is a film based on true events. The film is about Mary Griffith a christian mother coming to terms with the death of her gay son Bobby Griffith who killed himself by jumping off a bridge due to his mothers religious intolerance to his homosexuality.
The first time I watched this film I pretty much cried throughout the whole thing. It starts off by showing you the story of Bobby and how he felt and allows you to get to know him, then he kills himself and it shows you the story of Mary coming to terms with his death and then becoming a gay rights campaigner.
This film is a must see for any gay person. It stars Sigourney Weaver as Mary Griffith and Ryan Kelley as Bobby Griffith, they are very good actors who really make you feel like you know the characters. It makes you feel some sort of connection to the characters.
The DVD is available in my stores if you wish to buy it, just click on the link in the top right hand corner.

Shelter
I first seen shelter years ago before I came out, somebody I was speaking to online sent me a link to a clip of the film and I liked what I seen.
I very quickly made the decision to buy the film and watch it and it was and still is one of my favourite movies. It is a very touching story about a guy stuggling with his sexuality and falling in love with his best friends older brother.
Aside from his clear romantic interest in Zach, Shaun also encourages his new friend to pursue his interest in art and to reapply to California Institute of Arts, where Zach says he was denied a much-needed scholarship the previous year. As Zach struggles to navigate his deepening relationship with Shaun, his family drama, and his own ambitions and dreams, he gradually transforms from a dutiful, quiet, and put-upon youth to a vibrant, intelligent, and loving young man.
I would really recommend Shelter to anybody who is just looking to watch a good movie.
