Angels in America was a fantastic film. Even though it's not on my list of movies, I still watched all 6 hours of it and absolutely adored it. For one thing, it portrayed Mormonism with perfect realism. As a person who has experienced and participated in that religion I know it quite well, and I'm used to movies making it out to be evil or fucked up. Well, it's not. It's just a religion, like any other religion with beliefs and morals. The only difference is that I find Mormonism, so far, to be the least hypocritical religion I've ever come across (with the exception of UCC, which is my belief structure)
But I digress. Angels in America is set in the 1980's and focuses on the AIDS crisis in NY. It blends together the Mormon belief of modern day prophets with the gay populace. I know this sounds messed up, and to some degree it is confusing, but if you watch the film it makes sense.
WARNING: there is anal sex, extremely bloody scenes, and a whole crap ton of nudity and sex. I myself was not bothered by it, but some of you might be.
