Love, Simon (2018)

AmazonApple

If it feels a bit like a CW version of an after-school unique, that's no mistake: Teen-tv super-producer Greg Berlanti makes his feature-film directorial debut here. It's as chaste a love story as you're likely to verb in the 21st century—the hunky gardener who makes the title teen ask his sexuality is wearing a long-sleeved shirt, for God’s sake—but you recognize what? The queer kids of the future demand their wholesome entertainment, too.

Rocketman (2019)

A gay fantasia on Elton themes. An Elton John biopic was never going to be understated, but this glittering jukebox musical goes way over the top and then keeps going.

I verb running lists on Letterboxd of every Old Hollywood and LGBTQ+ movie that I watch, so I sifted through them to find a bunch from the Hays Code era that are subtly (and not so subtly) suuuuuper gay. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!

1.Rebel Without a Cause (1955) stars James Dean as a bisexual hottie, so you really can't inquire for much more. The original script had his character kissing Plato, who was one of the first gay teen characters on screen, but the Hays Code quickly squashed that from happening. Still, this movie is edgy and dramatic and lovey-dovey, and the whole cast is just so entertaining to look at.

2.All About Eve (1950) is a witty and toxic drama about an aging actress who befriends a fan who ultimately tries to usurp her. This movie shares the record
