Polls Out For Summer ! [ie June] (Patreon)

As we head into the wild camp yonder of Queer NYC movies we have picked 3 classics that highlight New York City in unique ways!

Highlander

“There can be only one!” Russell Mulcahy, the director of SoC favorite Razorback, turns New York City (in particular Silvercup Studios in Queens) into a fantasy battleground. A mysterious immortal man battles other mysterious immortal men on the streets of New York City for a chance at a mysterious prize. Starring Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, and Mr. Krabs himself Clancy Brown as the villainous Kurgan.

Something Wild

Businessman Jeff Daniels is in love, and in danger, when he hooks up with free-spirited Lulu (Melanie Griffith), for a few days of fun and sex. Then her sketchy ex-boyfriend Ray, played by the recently departed Ray Liotta, gets into the picture and things go completely off the rails. Jonathan Demme, acclaimed director of Silence of the Lambs and Stop Making Sense, helmed this intriguing mix of romantic comedy and thriller.

CHUD

An acronym for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers, where toxic waste has transformed people living in the subway tunnels of Manhattan into monsters. It’s up to John Heard, the dad from Home Alone, and Daniel Stern, one of the burglars in Home Alone, to stop them before its too late! A fun, gory bit of 80s New York City.
