LIFE AND DEATH ON THE A-LIST THE STORY OF Tom McBride


This documentary is about Tom McBride an actor who died of AIDS many years ago.  The documentary is very interesting and sad as well.  What I have to admire is Tom McBride seemed to be very honest when he was on camera.  He seemed to have it all on took advantage of it.  Now I would of loved to of slept with him truth is he most likely would of never given me the time of day. 


This movie is a must see for any gay man it speaks VOLUMES about the bad behavior that SOME GAY MEN HAVE!

The documentary opens with Tom in his most golden and handsome state. He then gives you a glimpse of what it's like to be one of those gay men that are blessed with charm, manly beauty & intelligence.

You see the privileges that are bestowed upon him and then  you start becoming judgmental  

What I learned the most is something called  The "Gay Food chain".  What that is  there are A-LIST GAY MEN"
They are young handsome and horny.   Once this film starts you will observe that Tom seems to have it all but then you see he really doesn't! 

Tom Mcbride as the film goes on  Tom declines in health and looks. It is interesting to note that this man could have had at one point, just about ANY man he wanted yet, when he dies their is no husband / romantically loving soul by his side. 

The film reminds me that beauty fades!   It also makes me realize the true worth of holding and being held by another man that loves you!  A sobering film that is sometimes funny and sad with a subtle message to zip your pants and look for more in a partner that the perfect six pack.

The documentary is far from perfect but it is well made and once you see it you will never forget it!  



What is most appalling about this documentary is that its not on Netflix.  You can buy it at
