I Love You, Phillip Morris (2009)

It's the comedic life story of con man who so happens to be gay.

Non-gay films with gay characters. This doesn't mean only movies where the protagonist is straight, but also movies where a gay subject matter is not the main theme, so no gay romance movies or coming out stories, for example. Not even if a romance movie fits into other genres as well, because the main plot is still the romance. Romance is allowed in this list only as a secondary aspect of a movie. Straight romance movies are allowed, though, if they have a gay character.

Also, only when explicitly shown or stated in the movie itself. And I'm giving preference to characters that matter in the movie.

But really, I'm not that much into movies, so I ask the help of the people that find this list. If you know of a movie that should be here, comment below and name it to me, please!
