Olympic Proportions (1992)

This coming-of-age musical features a strong representation of LGBTQ+ individuals coming-of-age.

So with the recent (rightful) public apologies to Britney from comedians and media for trashing her image in the 2000s, perhaps some people should also give Crossroads the fair chance it deserves. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, and that is fine. Personally, I will take my girl Britney and her movie, over the next testosterone "Dude Flick" any day.

Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale. Were the film to be directed by someone with experiences more similar to Anne, it would likely be more powerful--as it is, it feels like a man’s perspective of what it means to come to terms with your identity as a lesbian. 

Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film "Pyscho" is an American film classic that still resonates today.

Intergenerational friendships and community can be so powerful, and this was a great example.

Our trilogy at Seabrook High School starts with a rivalry between zombies and humans who eventually come together.
