Brother to Brother (2004)

Brother to Brother (2004) first debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, though it mades its way through the LGBTQ film circuits as well. The story begins when a gay, black artist named Perry (Anthony Mackie) is kicked out by his father. He befriends an elderly homeless guy named Bruce, who—coincidentally—was a major figure during the Harlem Renaissance and knew dudes like Langston Hughes, Aaron Douglas, and Wallace Thurman. As it turns out, the racism and homophobia Perry dealt with is pretty similar to the kind Bruce faced. Perry ends up getting transported back to the 1920s, so to speak, and gets to experience it all (and we mean it all) for himself. Not only does Perry go shirtless in several steamy gay scenes, but we see the same from Alex Burns while Ray Ford goes full frontal in a depressing (but sexy) bath tub scene. Reid Mihalko also graces us with his hot bod, showing his balls and butt in a sex scene turned nude fight. Brother to Brother might have more than one meaning, after all.
