For young Sav Rodgers, the Kevin Smith cult classic, CHASING AMY, became a life raft.

It's probably the OG problematic gender-crossed serial killer movie, but there's more Queer connections to Psycho. Anthony Perkins was boyfriend to Tab Hunter before his star turn in Psycho, and died of AIDS in 1992. The film was also remade in 1998 by gay director Gus Van Sant.
When larcenous real estate clerk Marion Crane goes on the lam with a wad of cash and hopes of starting a new life, she ends up at the notorious Bates Motel, where manager Norman Bates cares for his housebound mother.

Opened Jul 17, 2025
Opens Jul 17, 2025

With her distinctive high-gloss sensual nudes and cooly elegant portraits of high society during the Jazz Age, Polish-Jewish artist Tamara de Lempicka (1894-1980) helped define the Art Deco style and the glamour and transgressive vitality of post-WWI Paris. Feminist, style icon, and bisexual libertine, Lempicka combined cubism, classicism, and surrealism to reinvent the female figure, not as an object but as the protagonist.
