VIP Fave Q Movie Pick
Where we ask today’s hottest queer and queer-friendly filmmakers, stars and community leaders to answer the question:
“One of my favorite LGBT movies is...”
Ellen Huang (founder, QueerLounge)
“My favorite LGBT movie is Tipping the Velvet. I recently rented it, and it is a 3-part BBC mini-series. I just loved the bawdy, fast-paced, always adventuresome tone of the movie. It was like a lesbian version of Moll Flanders and follows a young girl, Nancy, who lives in turn-of-the century England who falls in love with a female performer who does male-impersonations. The two become a performing duo of “men,” though later Nancy becomes a male prostitute, and later a sex-slave to a rich woman who makes her wear a golden dildo… you get the picture! My first big crush when I was a kid was Diana Rigg of The Avengers, and her daughter Rachael Stirling plays the lead in Tipping the Velvet. So, the truth probably is that my love of this film also has something to do with my twisted, unrequited love for Rigg!”
