Fifty Years of Queer Cinema by Darwin Porter; Danforth Prince

Fifty Years of Queer Cinema

500 of the Best GLBTQ Films Ever Made

Darwin Porter; Danforth Prince

Out, outrageous, provocative, and proud, this comprehensive anthology and library resource reviews 500 of the best of Hollywood’s output of gay, bisexual, lesbian, transgendered, and queer questioning films, with a special emphasis on how gays changed the movies we know and love. Conceived as a working guide to what viewers should stock within their DVD queues, it reviews everything from blockbusters to indie sleepers, with about a dozen special features discussing the ironies, betrayals, subterfuge, and gossip of who, what, and how it happened when the film world’s closet doors slowly creaked open beginning in 1960.
