As Donald O'Connor told us, "All the world wants to laugh." There's plenty of gloom and sadness in real life; why would I want to watch it for two hours on a movie screen? The trick is to find a comedy movie with beefcake, minimal hetero-romance, and gay characters who are not offensive stereotypes. Heck, I'll even take gay subtexts.
These are my 18 favorite movies with gay characters or subtexts, at least those that I've reviewed here or on the G-rated site.
Only from 2016-2026. If I went earlier, the list would include: After Hours, Auntie Mame, On the Town, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Some Like It Hot, To Wong Foo, Victor/Victoria...
Get Duked (2016): An anarchic, hip-hop inspired comedy about four city boys lost in the woods, being chased by a paranormal entity or a crazed tourist. Two of them fall in love.

Why Him? (2016). Conservative dad meets his daughter's eccentric fiance. Meanwhile Adam Devine and Griffin Gluck have a gay subtext romance that's off the charts.
Game Over, Man (2018). Gay gangsters, the Workaholics guys, and five minutes of Adam Devine's divine d*ck. What's not to like?
Crazy Rich Asians (2018). A soap opera involving crazy rich Asians, with beefcake, a gay stereotype, and some gay subtexts.
The Dead Don't Die (2019): Zombie Apocalypse in a small town, played mostly for laughs, with some gay subtexs. And when you search for it online, you get Josh O'Connor's junk.
Spies in Disguise (2020). Animated feature with Will Smith and Tom Holland as gay-subtext buddy spies. Also there are penguins.
Pixie (2021) Gangster's daughter is forced to flee across the Irish countryside with a gay subtext couple, Ben Hardy and Daryl McCormack. They give us the rarest of queer codes, staying together at fade-out rather than going their separate ways or getting girlfriends. Pixie flies off to art school, and the guys ask "Where shall we go now?"
