Three Dollar Bill Cinema's "I Love The Nightlife!" April Film Series continues Thursday, April 17 with "Some of My Best Friends Are"..., presented at Northwest Film Forum at 7 p.m. and followed by a post-screening party at Madison Pub.
In his book, "101 Must-See Movies for Gay Men," author Alonso Duralde writes about the film, "If this unavailable-on-video gem ever screens anywhere near you, cancel all plans and go, go, go."
Set on Christmas Eve 1971 in a Greenwich Village gay bar, "Some of My Best Friends Are..." features hilarious performances from "Golden Girls'" Rue McClanahan as a rich 'fag hag,' Warhol superstar Candy Darling, "Buck Rogers'" Gil Gerard and beloved out icon Fannie Flagg.
Three Dollar Bill Cinema's "I Love the Nightlife!" retrospective film series focuses on the portrayal of the underground gay social scene through vintage queer film. The series concludes Thursday, April 24 with "The Detective." In this 1968 film, Frank Sinatra stars as an honest but conflicted cop, tough on crime but struggling with a law enforcement establishment where racism and homophobia are the norm. While investigating the murder of a wealthy and well-connected gay man, the mystery takes a turn with surprising results.
Tickets are $10, $9 for Three Dollar Bill Cinema members, and $32 for a series pass. The Northwest Film Forum is located at 1515 12th Ave in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood.
"Some of My Best Friends are..." plays Thursday, April 17 at 7 p.m. at the NW Film Forum (1515 12th Ave). Tickets and more info at www.seattlequeerfilm.org
