Last week's So Gay! wrap-up left off with this past year’s best coming out stories. Today we’ll cover the best in gay movies. We think you’ll recognize some films you forked over 10 bucks to see.

5. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Whether it’s their ability to relate to young Harry’s sense of isolation or his oversized magic wand, The Gays just love Harry Potter. Like the book series, the films are getting progressively darker as Harry himself matures into a man. Soon he'll be legal.

4. Rent. Musical numbers? Check. An AIDS storyline? Check. Director of first two Harry Potter films? Check. A Sex in the City connection? Check. That and more make this movie one big ol’ gay event.

Phil Hoffman

3. TransAmerica. One of our favorite Desperate Housewives straps on a penis in order to portray a character who only wants to get it lopped off. Felicity Huffman is the pre-op tranny who finds out her long lost son is gay hustler. The only thing that would have made this any gayer would have been a cameo by Madge herself.

2. Capote. Phillip Seymor Hoffman turned in a sublime performance as Truman Capote, one full of nuances and all too accurate mannerisms of the famous writer. But let’s not forget Catherine Keener. Her portrayal of carpet muncher Harper Lee was an absolute scene-stealer.

Which brings us to the number one So Gay! Film of the year…

Janet Jackson denies she popped out a daughter 18 years ago. Sounds like she's following the Michael Jackson school of thought: Deny! Deny! Deny!

• Boston wants to spend $100,000 to attract more gays and lesbian travelers. What a waste of money. We can't think of a better promotional campaign than being the capital of the only state with legalized same-sex marriage.

Henry Rollins claims he isn't gay. Yet in the same interview he raves about the homo-heavy flick Capote. He also loved Flightplan, In Her Shoes, and, like us, is just peeing his pants in anticipation of Brokeback Mountain.

• And speaking of Capote, it's been nominated, along with Brokeback, for Best Feature in this year's IFP's Gotham Awards. Good going, fellas.

• In attempting to ban gay marriage in Texas, Republicans have worded the law so it could potentially ban all types of marriage. Hmm, this sounds familiar. (Fourth item)
