The Celluloid Closet Trailer

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.

@AbbyJenna Hell, even the trailer is "restricted", because don't ya know, seeing two guys or two girls kiss on screen might make the little ones' heads explode!
