Obviously I need to catch up on some of these movies since there are many I have never even heard of that every one is mentioning. What was Come Back to the 5 and Dime Jimmy Dean Jimmy Dean about? Was that the one where the three draq queens were going across the country in a great big Cadillac and the car broke down in a small town?

No, you're thinking of To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar (1995), starring Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo. This was more or less a remake of the 1994 Australian feature The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. In spite of all the charms of the former title, I think Priscilla is a more nuanced and rewarding film.

I saw the stage play too but didn't enjoy it as much as the movie.

Ah, yes, "Picnic at Hanging Rock." One of my favourite Australian movies. So atmospheric and mysterious. And who could ever forget that beautiful main theme on the pan pipes? Exquisite. Having said that, however, can it actually be classified as a "gay movie"? I mean, certainly, it's set around a group of school girls having a picnic and Miranda is particularly beautiful, but I can't specifically recall any "gay" content. Would you also consider "The Devil's Playground" to be a gay movie, Scott? Personally, I would not, even though it is set in a Catholic boys' boarding school. I am open to persuasion here. It's been a long time since I saw either movie.
