The Women stars the greatest female stars of the ’30s (not a man in sight) as society dames who gleefully rip each other to shreds.
50 BEST GAY MOVIES MOVIE
It’s the movie that made me the queen I am today.Ĩ) The Women: The 1939 original, darling, not the anemic remake with Meg Ryan (shudder). One of the nuttiest movies ever made, based on the play by twisted sister Tennessee Williams. Gorgeously grotesque performances all around.Ħ) Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?: Real-life married couple Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton viciously and deliciously mind-fuck each other while torturing their guests at a boozy after-hours party.ħ) Suddenly, Last Summer: Homosexuality! Cannibalism! Dementia Praecox! and Elizabeth Taylor in a see-through white bathing suit. Another one you’ll be quoting for years.ĥ) Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?: Towering egos Bette Davis and Joan Crawford are aging sisters locked in a deadly power struggle. PLEASE.Ĥ) All About Eve: Bette Davis’ volcanic performance as a fading theater actress is at turns bitchy, bawdy, and tragic. Just mute the screen whenever Mickey Rooney appears.

Probably the most oft-quoted movie of all time.ģ) Breakfast at Tiffanys: Slightly dated, but Audrey Hepburn’s role as a flighty call-girl is still the be-all and end-all of New York chic.

(AND PLEASE DON’T WATCH THE TERRIBLE MUSICAL VERSION “MAME” WITH LUCILLE BALL)Ģ) Sunset Boulevard: Gloria Swanson as an absolutely demented silent film star trying for a comeback with the help of her creepy butler, Max, and a reluctant gigalo. You obviously haven’t got a camp bone in your body. Start here, and if you aren’t captivated, forget the rest of the list. (You don’t need to watch them in this order, but I’d start with the handful at the top and work your way down.)ġ) Auntie Mame : Rosalind Russell is Auntie Mame, the woman who taught gays to be gay. After the jump, I’ve listed the 50 most captivating, inspiring, and important movies that you absolutely NEED to see before you die. The camp classics that defined generations of gay men seem to have been all but forgotten lately. REPOSTED FOR YOUR SELF-QUARANTINING NEEDS:
