Ditto for To Wong Foo, which is kind of a lesser Priscilla. Including it would have been a redundancy.

And for those of you about to squawk, “Why isn’t The Birdcage on the list?” please note that, while we admire the film, it is exactly the same movie as the far superior La Cage.

Queer cinema is evolving - slowly but surely - into a mainstream entertainment, but it’s still one that pushes the envelope and achieves a richness of culture that goes far beyond the norm. It’s telling - encouraging, even - that two of the films to make this second round weren’t even in release at the time of the first - Lisa Cholodenko’s Oscar-nominated The Kids Are All Right and Tom Ford’s magnificent, visually opulent A Single Man. Yes, there are classics that allude to homosexuality - Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train and Rope, Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot - and a handful that are slightly more direct in their queer suppositions - Tennessee Williams’s Suddenly Last Summer, Lillian Hellman’s The Children’s Hour - but gay movies are essentially a 40-year-old phenomenon. What’s interesting is that in the history of cinema, explicitly queer movies didn’t really venture into the cultural landscape until the mid-’70s, coming to full fruition in the mid-’80s and, especially, ’90s.
