The film showcases queer people of color and the drag ball scene during the \u201cgolden age\u201d of drag. The doc\u2019s illustration of the dreams and aspirations of its young subjects offers strong commentary on the\u00a0intersections of race, sexuality and social class.<\/p>\n<p>4. Camp \u00a0(Dir.

The film follows several different LGBT narratives as the adolescents find themselves in the safe space of the campgrounds. While the film is mostly light hearted, there are some deeper themes that bear strong insight, but for the most part, this is a camp feel good story about life as a drama kid.<\/p>\n<p>5. In &amp; Out (Dir. Frank Oz, USA, 1997)<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"In &amp; Out - Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fxD7Ty5ZhQE?feature=oembed&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0&#038;modestbranding=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>When an actor misidentifies his former teacher as gay during his Oscar Speech, a media frenzy is created in the small town of Greenleaf, Indiana. It wouldn\u2019t be such a big deal except for the fact that the teacher, Howard Brackett, is engaged to a woman with a long history of self-esteem and mental health issues. This 1997 film explores stereotypes of LGBT people in the late 90s and offers a unique opportunity for the viewer to see how far the community has come.<\/p>\n<p>6. Kissing Jessica Stein (Dir. Charles Herman-Wurmfeld, UK, 2001)<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kissing Jessica Stein Official Trailer!\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NaPqnezhXT8?feature=oembed&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0&#038;modestbranding=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Jessica Stein (Jennifer Westfeldt) decides to answer a newspaper personal ad (this is before OKCupid folks, stay with us here) where she learns that the advertisement was placed by a woman named Helen Cooper (Heather Juergensen).\u00a0What makes \u2018Kissing Jessica Stein\u2019 so special is that it doesn\u2019t need to use specific labels to offer poignant commentary on sexual fluidity, as seen through the lens of late 90s romantic comedy.<\/p>\n<p>7. Capote (Dir. Bennett Miller, USA, 2005)<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Capote - Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cjvBYqp8b6U?feature=oembed&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0&#038;modestbranding=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>While this isn\u2019t an overtly gay film like some of the others on this list, it is perhaps the best film on the list.\u00a0Throughout Capote, director Bennett Miller (\u2018Foxcatcher\u2019) tells the story of Truman Capote as he writes \u201cIn Cold Blood\u201d\u2014delving into his relationship with the prisoners he\u2019s interviewing, and the\u00a0impact it has on his ability to find closure in his work.<\/p>\n<p>8.
