If Brokeback Mountain hit the spot, these will too

Unspoken feeling strains against the rules of the world it's trapped in
The difference: A sisters' marriage-plot drama, not a decades-long secret love

A committed man falls for someone who upends the life he'd already built
The difference: Set in the present day, without decades of buried longing

Restraint and longing simmer between two people who can't act on their feelings
The difference: A hushed Hong Kong drama, not cowboys hiding love across state lines

A brief, consuming connection outlasts the ordinary marriage around it
The difference: Four days of longing, not a love stretched across two decades

Common ground: marriage crisis

A summer connection unsettles lives that were supposedly already settled
The difference: Playful and bohemian where Brokeback stays somber and repressed

An unplanned connection turns into something neither man expected to keep
The difference: One weekend's intimacy, not a love stretched across twenty years

Two men's bond keeps pulling them back together no matter the distance
The difference: A volatile, present-day relationship, not decades of closeted secrecy

A new arrival stirs feelings a young person doesn't yet have words for
The difference: A gentle teen coming-of-age, not decades of hidden adult longing

Both land stillness and romance at once


A cowboy's guarded heart carries a love he can never fully let go of
The difference: A framed love story told in flashback, not a lifelong secret
