Review:
The hilarious story of three drag queens in the Outback doesn't have much in the way of bear interest until the middle when they meet up with woofy Bill Hunter.

Review:
Intense drama about a former skinhead (Norton, in an Oscar nominated role) who tries to save his younger brother from following in his footsteps. Superb acting and photography, but this movie is not for the faint of heart (especially the prison scenes.) Norton cuts a handsome figure with his cubbish goatee and fiery demeanor... until you notice the giant swastika tattoo on his chest. Ethan Suplee ("Mallrats") has a supporting role as one of their skinhead friends. But the eye candy aspect is incidental -- this movie is a must- see because it tells such a powerful story.

Review:
Live-action film, mostly about two *real* bears - an orphaned cub and a giant male Kodiak. Features some hunters (pretty bearish themselves) who make things tough for the bears.

Featured Bears: Brian Dennehy |

Review:
A Peter Greenaway film, before he became really self-indulgent! This British director was responsible for one of Brian Dennehy's great screen roles as the eponymous architect of the title. Not a barrel of laughs, but a great performance, which shows what Dennehy can do when given some leeway from the usual tough guys he is normally asked to play. Also, viewers will also witness a full-frontal nude scene!!!

Review:
Brendan Gleeson is a terrific actor and this is one of his most bearish roles: a beefy bearded Scotsman. He joins William Wallace in his quest to drive out the English tyrant, King Edward I.

Review:
A pair of aimless surfer dudes who just want to drift through life, discover girls (ick) and decide to settle down. This rather silly romantic comedy/drama has a double treat for bear lovers - primarily there's oh-so-cuddly cub Sean Astin with tons of shirtless scenes (and he's getting nicely hairy here). And then there's his mentor (in both surfing and Life), the always-woofy Brian Dennehy, who does a couple of scenes shirtless or in a wetsuit!

Review:
A positive bearfest from beginning to end. Unfortunately, most of the bears in the cast are in fairly minor, if not to say minute, roles. Plenty of Celtic bears populate the gangs and the streetpeople of the less than salubrious environment of New York in the nineteenth century. Look out for the fight sequence, with one particularly magnificent daddy bear, that ends in chaos. One for future video referencing using the stop button!

Review:
James Gandolfini plays a character called 'Bear' in this movie. He is extrememly woofy and has a full beard. Just one look at this guy will convince you that he should be in your movie list and of course part of every bears video collection. He also plays Tony Soprano in the wonderful 'The Sopranos' in which you do get to see his nice hairy chest.

Lots of soldiers sporting bushy beards and huge moustaches. A powerful epic film with some excellent acting, especially from Jeff Daniels.

Review:
Hail the all-conquering bears!!! The sword and sandal epic reinvented by Ridley Scott, a Bear director, gives Oliver Reed his last chance to shine on the big screen. Aside from that, there is Russell Crowe's naked torso to salivate over, Richard Harris doing his Daddy Bear bit, with Derek Jacobi in a toga for the first time in twenty years. Special reference should be made of the opening scene with the hirsute German tribe led by the most magnificent bear to be seen in recent movie history (Chick Allen). He's huge, boys!!!

Featured Bears: Ian Holm |

Review:
Ian Holm has never looked so ...adorable as he has in Greystoke, a rather pretentious attempt to make a serious drama out of the story of Tarzan's origin. Ian Holm plays a lost French expeditionary who is rescued and nursed back to health by Tarzan. I forgot all about Tarzan whenever Holm's character was onscreen. He goes through stages in the film, early on he wears some GREAT, classy mutton-chop sideburns and safari gear. Towards the end his character has a curly, full beard which is pretty hot too. The highlight for me, though, is Holm rowing a boat with his mutton-chops and his shirt off. Tanned, sweaty shoulders and salt & pepper chest hair. I'd rescue him right away!

Review:
Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of Shakespeare's "Henry V" features the EXTREMELY woofy Brian Blessed as the Duke of Exeter. Watching this man stroll into the court of the king of France dressed in full body armour will quicken the pulse of any bear! The movie is great also, and it's what high school students ought to be watching rather than poring over blocks of flowery Shakespearean text.

Sean Connery plays the Russian sub commander. A few other bears as eye candy in the background.

Review:
A 6-tape set from the A&E mini-series. But bears, Bears, BEARS! Big bears, small bears, old bears, young bears, good bears, and naughty bears. I've only listed as FEW of the ones that popped out from a quick look at the credits. (It's especially fun if you insert bear subtext in the interactions between Gurth and Little John.) This mini-series blows away the 1952 Liz Taylor movie.

Featured Bears: Ed Harris Robert DeNiro |

|
Review:
Beside the fact that the first time you see Ed Harris, he is in his underwear (with a hang over). You get to see Robert DeNiro at his bearish. And he dose strip to his underwear in the middle of the movie as well (but not with Ed Harris). DeNiro is a truck driver and there are a few beary truckers in the backgroud. But even without the bears in it, this is a good movie. But I don't think I have seen Deniro and Harris look any bearish as they do playing blue collar type guys as they do in this movie

Review:
Based on the Greek myth and starring a cubby Todd Armstrong as Jason. The movie's better remembered for its cutting-edge special effects (for 1963 anyway) than its acting. But there's plenty of Greek eye candy.

Review:
This is a really good movie that doesn't take itself seriously and is a wonderful homage to b- movies. I think anybody who has enjoyed Jaws and Piranha will love this film. The best bits for me are the insults and threats shared between the two bears in the movie, Brendan Gleeson (Braveheart) and Oliver Platt (Three Musketeers). Plus there is a wonderful scene where Brendon Gleeson is wandering about the woods in his underpants, yum.

Review:
Philippe Noiret is the premier French Bear movie actor who stars in this film dealing with the aftermath of the First World War. Poignant and funny and plenty of Philippe. Other notable appearances are in LE COP and many many French movies. Simply one gorgeous Bear!!!

Review:
Yes, Peter O'Toole as a bear, playing Henry II with Hopkins (just as woofy) as his son Richard. Katharine Hepburn is outstanding as Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Review:
Funny yet moving portrayal of 8 gay men spending Memorial Day, Independance Day, and Labor Day together at a country home. Sort of a gay Big Chill or Four Seasons. Some may find the characters too stereotypical, the performances too cliched... I LOVED IT... laughed and cried. John Glover as good twin/bad twin, and Jason Alexander as the pudgy Broadway showtune-singing AIDS victim are excellent. From Terrence McNally's Tony-winning play.

Featured Bears: Sean Connery |

|
Review:
Probably one of Sean Connery's finest hours, although poorly distributed when first released, this is now regarded as a modern classic. Certainly one of John Huston's best later works, ranking alongside THE DEAD and PRIZZI'S HONOUR. Adapted from a short story by Rudyard Kipling, two soldiers, played by Connery and Michael Caine, leave the British army to seek their fortunes in Afghanistan. To cut a long story short, by a quirk of fate Connery's character is proclaimed as a god. Everything goes swimmingly until power goes to head - and he literally loses it! Notable also for a shot of Connery's bare ass!

Featured Bears: Adam Fogerty John Forgeham |
| |
|
Review:
First starring vehicle for Vinnie Jones, British footballer turned movie star, produced by the same man that made Lock, Stock and Snatch with Guy Ritchie. A remake of the Burt Reynolds' American football/prison movie which I can barely remember but this Brit flick has the added charm of some beefy support from the likes of John Forgeham as a Daddy Bear who runs the prison from the inside and Adam Fogerty as a mad bear called Mouse! Also, features the comedy eyebrows of David Hemmings, still rolling from his appearance alongside Olly Reed and Richard Harris in Gladiator.

Featured Bears: Billy Connolly |

|
Review:
Connolly plays John Brown a Scottish servant to Queen Victoria (Judy Dench) who is still mourning after Albert's death. Although there's no evidence their relationship was anything other than platonic, it nevertheless caused quite a scandal, to the point where satirists began refering to Victoria as "Mrs. Brown". Connolly is fantastic, very adorable, and there is a delightful scene of him swimming (nude!) with his brother. A 5-star movie.

Review:
Beyond its appeal as an insightful comedy, PTV portrays a sexually repressed patient who reveals his steamy fantasies in a way some/most bears might be able to relate with. And the bear finds happiness in the end!

Great love story movie about a lazy backward town in upstate New-York. Pruitt Taylor Vince plays Paul Newman's buddy in this tale! Some great scenes with Vince playing a really luvable part, and besides which, looking incredibly woofy with his beard

Yet another Shakespeare movie with great eye candy! Othello (Laurence Fishburne) wears a lovely goatee that goes so well with his big musclebear-ish build, and i'll be damned if Iago (Kenneth Branagh) isn't one helluva cute cub....*sigh* it's always the con men and murderers, eh? i remember watching this in my high school english class and practically swooning during Iago's "put money in thy purse!" speech...my god, he's gorge!

Review:
Featuring Oliver Ford Davies as Sio Bibble, the cute daddybear governor of planet Naboo; Liam Neeson as a lightly-bearded and overly-serious Jedi master; Ewan Macgregor as a young, puckish Obi-Wan; Ray Park as Darth Maul in some jaw-dropping saber fighting scenes; and Natalie Portman's Queen Amidala, whose wardrobe will turn any drag queen green with envy.

For all you who like your daddy bears big, Scottish and hairy, James Cosmo, the veteran Celtic thespian, appears as Mr Renton, father of the character referred to by Begbie as Rent Boy!

Review:
O'Connor is Woof City. He plays a guy who has a fling with the main (unfortunately, female) character. He has a very full goatee, mustache, hairy chest (B4, easy). There's only one shirtless shot, but several hints of chest hair and the movie gets bonus points because his character is a trucker.

A classic scene in this movie has Reed and Alan Bates wrestling nude (and VERY homoerotically).
