Despite being made under the Hays Code, this movie is uncharacteristically clear about its gay themes. Based on the Tennessee Williams play and adapted to the screen by Gore Vidal, Elizabeth Taylor plays a young woman who is institutionalized in order to keep the (gay) secrets of her recently-deceased cousin.
The only son of wealthy widow Violet Venable dies while on vacation with his cousin Catherine. What the girl saw was so horrible that she went insane; now Mrs. Venable wants Catherine lobotomized to cover up the truth.

"Honey, I am more man than you'll ever be and more woman than you'll ever get" is the iconic snap-back from gay-and-proud Lindy in this cult Black comedy about the employees at a Los Angeles carwash.
This day-in-the-life cult comedy focuses on a group of friends working at Sully Boyar’s Car Wash in the Los Angeles ghetto. The team meets dozens of eccentric customers – including a smooth-talking preacher, a wacky cab driver and an ex-convict – while cracking politically incorrect jokes to a constant soundtrack of disco and funk. Some of the workers find romance as the day moves along, but most are just happy to get through another shift.
