Movie Night - Beautiful Thing (Film4)

Let's join together for a good ol' night in with gay coming-of-age story Beautiful Thing.

Available on All4 for free, this is one of those Film4 beauties originally created for television but too good to be contained. It's the story of two young lads on a London council estate: bullied, introverted Jamie and the popular Ste exploring and learning to accept their sexuality and their affections for one another.

Starring Linda Henry (familiar as hard-faced bitch in Bad Girls, EastEnders, etc. ), Scott Neal and Glen Berry, the film may be starting to show its age but is a story many of us will identify with.

You can watch the Film4 UK trailer with unfortunate voiceover here or the American version here.

It runs for 90 minutes but because it's All4, the film will be punctuated by the occasional 2-3 minute ad break (useful for getting drinks or powdering your nose).

Chat

Before we start the film we'll have a short chat online before individually pressing play. At the end we will join together again, compare notes and share some highlights before calling it a night. A link to the chat will be sent out before the event.
