Narrated by Lily Tomlin, this acclaimed documentary takes its name from Vito Russo's groundbreaking book. The filmmakers examine the subtext of more than 100 Hollywood movies -- including Spartacus, Rope and Thelma and Louise -- and chart the cinematic journey of lesbian and gay characters. Film clips are paired with director, producer and actor interviews featuring, among others, Gore Vidal, Tom Hanks and Whoopi Goldberg.

  • Thank God for this wonderfully thought-filled and quite honest "outing" of hollywood's treatment of the Gay community. It should be mandatory viewing in every school and house of worship in this country.

  • I remember first watching this movie when I was looking for a movie about gay and lesbians in cinema.
