Priscilla, and the rest is queer history!While this movie probably inspired the previous film, another camp classic about three queer performers traveling across the country should always be added to the list. This film has long been regarded as a queer classic, making this a wonderful addition to your watch list.The film is free to stream on Pluto TV.When this film was released, the girls, gays, and theys were never the same!Based on Patricia Highsmith's 1952 novel The Price of Salt, notable for being one of the few queer novels to feature a happy ending (something that was taboo in publishing at the time), this 2015 adaptation by director Todd Haynes is an unequivocal queer masterpiece.When shop-girl Therese meets a soon-to-be-divorced Carol, her life is flung out of order, and what follows is one of the best queer romance films of all time.
