Cry Baby (1990) - a quirky, funny and deliciously camp John Waters-directed film that takes a very literal approach to the ~good girls obsessed with bad boys~ trope set in 1950s America, so underrated with such a great soundtrack! Some Like It Hot (1959) - Marilyn Monroe plays a whimsical, gorgeous, often-drunk singer of a travelling all-girls band as she attempts to woo a rich man and befriends the band's two newbies, who just so happen to be two cross-dressing men on the run from gangsters. need i say more!?!? Secretary (2002) - an awkward, fresh-from-the-psych-ward young woman takes up a job as a secretary to a demanding, strange, emotionally distant lawyer. what ensues is a whole lot of bdsm sexiness Pearl (2022) - you know it... and i know it...... im gonna be a star....... Shirkers (2018) - there's a certain emotional quality to this film that i can't help but feel is lana-coded; the nature of this film is pretty hard to describe, but the letterboxd synopsis for it does a better job than i ever could: "In 1992, teenager Sandi Tan shot Singapore’s first indie road movie with her enigmatic American mentor Georges – who then vanished with all the footage. Twenty years later, the 16mm film is recovered, sending Tan, now a novelist in Los Angeles, on a personal odyssey in search of Georges’ vanishing footprints."

i have never come across another person who also loves/knows this film one of my absolute faves!!!
