Considered the first feature from an African-American lesbian, I found it enjoyable and interesting. Not everyone agreed at the time.

SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959)
I had, um, some issues with this comedy about cross-dressing and/or dudes that want to sleep with Marilyn Monroe.
BRINGING UP BABY (1938)
Perhaps the best known of all screwball comedies, it is a bit too aggressively madcap for me.
SPARTACUS (1960)
As epics of Roman battles go, Spartacus is the thinking-man’s version. It also helped break the Hollywood Blacklist.
MADCHEN IN UNIFORM (1931)
Maybe the first feature film dealing with themes of homosexuality, it feels surprisingly fresh today.
MULAN (1998)
The original, animated Mulan stands out as maybe the most “grown up” movie of the “Disney Renaissance.”
