Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle turns 20 years old this month. Feel old yet?Even though the 2003 sequel failed to match the success of its predecessor, it’s safe to say that no other early-aughts film franchise did as much for “camp” as Charlie’s Angels.
Yes, the 2019 reboot gave us queer Kristen Stewart. But it’s hard to the beat the over-the-top ridiculousness of director McG’s iteration, which can mostly be defined by illogical CGI explosions, sexuality, and the number of goofy costumes that stars Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu wore.

Whether you were thirsting over the menagerie of eye candy (We’re talking about you, Luke Wilson), crushing on the Angels themselves, or living vicariously through their bombastic adventures and flawless wardrobes, Full Throttle was for the gays.
