To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar (1995)
Director: Beeban Kidron
Writer: Douglas Carter Beane
Stars: Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze and John Leguizamo
Summary: Ms Vida Boheme, and Noxeema Jackson win a drag queen contest in New York and are given tickets to Hollywood to participate in a Drag Queen beauty pageant.  They meet a boy-in-a-dress, Chi-Chi Rodriguez.  Feeling pity on the poor boy, they girls decide to take him along and turn him into a full fledged drag queen.  They dump their plane tickets and grab a 1967 Cadillac convertible and head out.  When the car breaks down, they find themselves stranded in the tiny midwestern town of Snydersville.  The three try to make the best of their unfortunate circumstance, and when their glitz and glamour wake up the sleepy local citizens, the stage is set for an outrageously funny weekend.

Okay, so I stole some of that summary from the box.  I never say I’m good at these.  In anycase, this is one of my favorite gay movies.  Besides the face that Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo make wonderful drag queens.  Which for these macho men (well, maybe not Leguizamo) being so feminine is a little shocking but they do it so well, you can only just go with it and laugh with glee.  I’ve always liked this movie better than Pricilla as to me it’s more memorable to me.  I know I really liked Pricilla but I can’t remember what happens.  Stockard Channing is wonderful as is the rest of the town of Snydersville.

5 Stars.  I can’t help myself.
