  • "What I am Michael is a 32 year-old, ugly, pock marked Jew fairy, and if it takes me a little while to pull myself together, and if I smoke a little grass before I get up the nerve to show my face to the world, it's nobody's god damned business but my own. And how are you this evening?" is one of the greatest lines ever uttered in a film. And my god it is delivered magnificently here!

  • F*kn brilliant!!! This movie was an important and positive part of my coming out, regardless of the so-called "negative" stereotypes which some people in the community got their panties all tied in knots about.

  • harold and larry, hank are the only ones that save this movie. others are a bit on the weak side

  • One of the alltime best film entrances.

  • @LEAFtea57 You want to be a 32 year old ugly, pock-marked, jew fairy or just stoned? :)

  • There are so many great lines in this movie. I heard the gay community was in an uproar for he most part when this movie came out because of the stereotypes. But, I think they were trying to cover all sorts of types of gay people from the flamer to the closet case etc...It also showed just how prevalent substance abuse was among the community. Remember, this was just one year after Stonewall.

  • I have seen this dozens of times, but still, the end sort of eludes me. What is the importance of what Michael wrote on Harolds card? Why such a secret? And then the straight dude in the whole movie...Did he really mean to tell Michael he had loved him in college or was it all in Michael's head? Was this movie all about self-loathing and guilt about being gay?

  • I frikkin LOVE Princess Hallie!

  • Hard to believe that this is the same actor who played Motel the Tailor in Fiddler on the Roof.

    Hereeeeee's Harold!

  • I AM Michael in this; I was 13 when this movie was out and it was rated M..what a classic and t s not re-shown enough!

  • Also, you should include the scene when Harold says "turning, turning".."I'm turning on, you're just turning"

    LOVE This!
