If you know a gay man over 50, you've probably heard this film quoted endlessly. "Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!" is one of many pearls of wisdom from Rosiland Russell as Mame, a progressive woman of the 1920s who takes in her orphaned nephew.
Mame Dennis, a progressive and independent woman of the 1920s, is left to care for her nephew Patrick after his wealthy father dies. Conflict ensues when the executor of the father's estate objects to the aunt's lifestyle and tries to force her to send Patrick to prep school.

It's not just the camp value of Lillian Gish with a shotgun--this film is the only directorial effort from closeted actor Charles Laughton, and through that lens you can't help but see more in its serial-killing preacher targeting women whose sexual freedom he resents.
In Depression-era West Virginia, a serial-killing preacher hunts two young children who know the whereabouts of a stash of money.

Perhaps the first Queer film from India, this story of a young man in a bisexual love triangle was heavily censored on release and believed lost until a print was found in 2019.
Based on a novel by Hindi writer Kamleshwar Prasad Saxena, it centers on a love triangle between two men and one woman on the margins of society.
