In honour of Pride season, here are five classic gay porn flicks from recent years you’d be proud to display on your shelf. They’re all honest-to-god movies, with story and acting and direction and production and all that good stuff. Not to mention screen-searing sex.
Big Rig

The gay porn road movie to end them all. Having boyfriend trouble, Colby Taylor leaves to drive across country. Along the way he picks up delinquent pretty boy Jason Crew. The acting and chemistry with these two is irresistible, and the fairytale finale of Taylor and Gus Mattox screwing in the back of the truck is a huge turn on. The “Extended Cab Premium Edition” includes a bonus scene featuring the greatly missed Danny Roddick.
Doggie Style

Oddly, another break-up tale, but one that is gorgeously romantic and optimistic. The GQ-handsome and enormously hung Shane Collins loses both his job and boyfriend but finds an adorable stray mutt named Boner. Local vet Travis Carlson wags his tail more than the dog, and Shane learns the joys of the local dog park. Eventually he meets fellow pet-lover Brett Matthews, leading not to just puppy love but a deep connection — and even deeper fucking.

Shane Rollins is sentenced to serve time for a crime he did not commit — you could say he gets fucked by the system. The police probe their suspect deeply; even defence attorney Ty Hudson gets in on the act. But the scene that will really blow you away is between Rollins and cellmate Trevor Knight. Mike Roberts is the pervy prison guard who jerks off while watching this scene, and let’s face it, who wouldn’t?
More of a Man
(All Worlds, c1r.com)
This 1990 award winner starring the legend Joey Stefano was re-released in 2007. It details Stefano’s difficult coming out process. Fed up with sleazy encounters at rest stops, he’s inspired by a barfly drag queen (played by a young Chi Chi LaRue, who even provides a musical number) to finally accept the love of a man. The climactic scene between Stefano and Michael Henson actually takes place at a Pride parade – right inside one of the floats.
Wrong Side of the Tracks

In this two-part masterpiece from directrix Chi Chi LaRue, official “sexiest man on the planet” Johnny Hazzard plays a poor, beaten down, small-town boy who runs away to the big city only to find that big Hollywood dreams don’t match up to reality when you’ve got no money. The centrepiece is an amazing, sweat-dripping fuck with Tyler Riggz but the whole thing is elevated by an intelligent, philosophical script and simply brilliant acting by Hazzard. Bravo.
