Good morning and Happy 20 to the movie called 54 starring Ryan Phillippe - a movie which turned at least twelve people that I know gay as the hills. The film, when released on August 28th 1998, was mostly met with mehs, on all but one front anyway - in particular nobody could much dispute "Ryan Phillippe, Sex God." Those of us who'd been paying attention with I Know What You Did Last Summer and Cruel Intentions certainly knew it but 54 cemented his status as the Platonic Twink. The movie didn't really deserve success though, since they infamously butchered 99% of the gay content - a movie about Studio 54 as straight as the bridge-and-tunnels? No thanks, movie. That said I still haven't gotten around the watching the Director's Cut that's supposed to right some of these wrongs - should I? It's only ten bucks on Amazon...

Ryan has aged well, no? I'd go as far as to say he's hotter now (Daddy af!)
The Director's Cut doesn't do too much to excite. There's some implied sugar-daddying and a little bit of kissing with Breckin Meyer.
i'm a yes on the directors cut - it's a much better movie without the studio enforced neve campbell romance [she's barely in it]; well worth the ten bucks
