Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974) Queer Film B+
Michael Cimino’s directorial debut - he also wrote the screenplay - was an enormous critical and commercial success and paved the way for his Oscar-winning triumph The Deer Hunter four years later. Blending humor, melancholy, and violence with a nod to the American road movie, the film boasts great buddy-film chemistry between Eastwood and Bridges.

That Certain Summer was the first network TV movie to depict a gay man as a loving parent rather than a deviant or tragic figure. Its restraint is its power, thanks to the expert direction of Lamont Johnson, who had a way with queer topics, and the acting of the three leads. With Hope Land as Nick's mom.
