Song for Sunday - 1st Feb - Shelter

Stick with me on this one as there are a few vid's to look at. But they are all needed and worth watching.

The Backlot (formerly After Elton) have updated their Top 100 Greatest Gay Movies list, something that they do every few years. This years list is quite a shake up as more and more decent gay themed films are getting made and getting an audience. This is particularly great as it means there are loads of films on the new list that I now want to get around to watching.

Go have a look at the full Top 100 list here. Comment below on the films that  you've seen, want to see, hated or loved.
Also, if you like LGBT film you should probably go have a look at CGiii - the most comprehensive LGBT film site.

In the Top 10 are some really great films, including my personal favourite Shelter. I love Shelter because its about real-life, working class folk and the things that they have to deal with and have to consider when making choices about life. It also has a really good soundtrack.

The trailer for Shelter gives you an idea about the film:




From the soundtrack comes not 1 but 2 Songs for Sunday (mostly because I couldn't choose between them, so decided to include both). They are very different in style but lovely versions of their genre, so worth listening to.

First up is Lie To Me by Shane Mack:



Next is Teenage Romanticide by Dance Yourself To Death:
