Horror Express (1973)

As many of us know, Marvel Studios has taken an interest in women-led superhero films, but some of us are oblivious to the women behind the camera and pen.

The film centers around two young women, Becca and Sam, who were once high school sweethearts until they reconnect in their town.

One Christmas Eve, after a sudden snowstorm, a group of teenagers will discover how their lives will change forever.

The film is a simple love story reminiscent of stories like The Notebook released in 2004. Sylvie and Robert are rarely actually together in the film, however; time and circumstance keep them away from each other, and the audience waits with bated breath to see them find one another over and over.

These openly gay Hollywood figures risked so much by being honest about their sexuality: judgment, loss of employment, hate – even violence and death.
