Cokes: Hey, hey. Why is he crying?Roger: He's crying because he's a queer.Cokes: You a queer, boy?Richie: Yes, Sergeant.Cokes: How long you been a queer?Richie: I don't know.Roger: All of his fucking life.Cokes: Don't be talking mean at him. Ain't two months ago,maybe even yesterday, I called a kid who was a queer a lotof awful names. Now I just want to be figuring things out.Richie: I don't know what's hurting in me.I don't know what's hurting in me.Cokes: Oh, no, no, boy. You listen to me.
You're going to be okay. There's a lotof worse things than being a queer in this world.I mean, you could have leukemia. That's worse.

Nashville, The Player, M*A*S*H, Short Cuts, Gosford Park (not necessarily in this order)
3 Women!
Top 3:
Nashville -- really is that great
The Long Goodbye -- incredible movie
Gosford Park -- In addition to many fine qualities it has my two favorite lines of all time: "Difficult color, green. Very tricky." and "But none of US are going to see it." (RIP Maggie Smith)
Ater that: McCabe & Mrs Miller, California Split, Thieves Like Us, M*A*S*H
Nashville-a fucking masterpiece
Short Cuts
Gosford Park
The Long Goodbye
Three Women
Agree with all of those mentioned, but Streamers, Come Back to the 5 & Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, A Wedding and Images are also recommended viewing.
