Go Fish -- the film chooses not to spend time on the typical coming-out story and just works with the realities and romantic aspects of four lesbian women dealing with relationship issues. It has a few moments that are very "Lookit! I went to film school!" (shadows and a clock ticking and blah de blah), and the acting can be a bit stiff here and there (mostly an issue of editing, I think) -- but it's just an utterly charming love story -- you root so hard for the couple to get together.
The Living End A road trip movie, with the innovation that the "buddies" are two men who have both recently learned of their HIV positive status, and take off from the law and the realities of the disease. Some of the aspects of their relationship are awkward, some violent, some bordering on misogynistic, but overall it's an incredibly moving and provocative film. Similar issues to the one above in that the acting is occasionally stilted and the film could have used better editing, but well worth watching.
