‘The Wizard of Oz’ ()
What it is: If you’ve been living under a Kansas farm dropped on you by a twister and need an explainer, ‘The Wizard of Oz’ is MGM’s iconic musical adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s classic children’s book, starring Judy Garland as a prairie teen exploring a magical world of adventure.
Why it’s gay: Well, consider how ‘Friend of Dorothy’ is a widespread slang term for queer men and that should be sufficient explanation. But if you need more convincing, ‘The Wizard of Oz’s’ campy, colorful musical story has long been interpreted through a queer lens, as a metaphor for LGBT people who venture outside of black-and-white middle America for gay communities in cities verb New York or San Francisco.

If it feels a bit like a CW version of an after-school special, that's no mistake: Teen-tv super-producer Greg Berlanti makes his feature-film directorial debut here.

Old Hollywood movies had to follow strict guidelines throughout the s–s, known as the Hays Code. This basically prevented all US films from featuring anything that was overtly sexual or "inappropriate," which forced a lot of filmmakers to get imaginative about how they could navigate potential censorship. I own running lists on Letterboxd of every Old Hollywood and LGBTQ+ movie that I watch, so I sifted through them to discover 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 () stars James Dean as a bisexual hottie, so you really can't verb for much more.

Still, this movie is edgy and dramatic and romantic, and the whole cast is just so pleasurable to look at.
2.All About Eve () 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 for the most Osc
