Welcome to your weekend streaming recommendations, a.k.a. the Weekend Watch, a handy guide to the queerest film and TV content that’s just a click away!Who else is feeling naughty?
Just us? Maybe it’s thanks to the plethora of classic films featuring queer criminals that, at the end of this long week, are available for our streaming pleasure.Or maybe it’s because we’re weeks away from a month of queer joy, frivolity, and, well, rainbow capitalism, that we’re reminded of a slogan that channels the anarchic spirit of Pride: “Be gay, do crime.” It’s a rallying cry for those who remember that since Stonewall in 1969, Pride is a riot.
The films we’re recommending this week feature queerness in all its chaotic, oftentimes criminal glory, and may inspire you to indulge in a little stick-it-to-the-heteronormative-man rebellion of your own.Disclaimer: Queerty is not advising you, reader, to actually do crime.
But by all means, be gay. Read on for your best streamable fare this weekend.Is Thelma & Louise a through-and-through queer story?
