Movie: The Queen ( 1968 )
The 1967 Miss All-America Camp Beauty Pageant, a nationwide contest for drag queens held in New York City, is presented, including the behind the scenes logistics by both the organizers, led by Jack Doroshow who performs under the drag persona "Flawless Sabrina" and who also acts as the pageant Mistress of Ceremonies, and the twenty-eight contestants. From the organizers' perspective, the logistics chiefly surround trying to find space, not only to accommodate everyone, but one that is safe as the act of drag is still considered criminal in certain states. Their collective story does not end with the announcement of the pageant winner. Beyond the pageant itself, the contestants speak candidly about certain issues in relation to being involved in the world of drag: what it takes to prepare oneself for show as a drag queen; their homosexual orientation, most identifying as gay; their non-drag life especially during this time of conscription; and why most would not even consider gender reassignment surgery despite their attraction to dressing up as glamorous women.

Movie: What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael ( 2019 )
Pauline Kael, the New Yorker film critic for 25 years until the early 1990s, was a lightning rod of American culture.

The movie also shows 20th-century movies through Pauline's eye, and shows Pauline's own life through moments of other movies. The filmmakers had complete access to the subject -- through Gina James, Pauline's only child and the executor of her estate; friends and colleagues; and Pauline's personal archives. With over 30 new interviews, including David O. Russell, Quentin Tarantino, Camille Paglia, Molly Haskell, Alec Baldwin Greil Marcus, Paul Schrader, John Guare and Joe Morgenstern.

Movie: Hitler's Secret Tunnels ( 2019 )
During WWII, the Nazis built a vast network of secret tunnels all across Europe, not only for movement, but to house top secret projects. Seventy years after the fact, the exact location of all the tunnels are unknown as the Nazis, with defeat imminent nearing what was the end of the war, destroyed all evidence of the tunnels so that the Allied forces would not discover the extent of their secret work. The entrances to many of the tunnels were filled in and documents destroyed, with any known tunnels those the Nazis could not hide before their defeat, and existing maps largely those made by the Allied forces after the war. For modern day explorers Mike Scott and Luke Mahoney, usually focused on treasures of precious metals, the discovery of a map indicating a tunnel system thus far unknown and the associated secrets of the Nazis is too big a lure to ignore. The map, the tunnel system labeled B3c with a code named Jonas, and associated documentation indicate that B3c was of highest priority and that it probably housed some aspect of the Nazis' secret weapons system development. Even if they can authenticate the map and the associated document, locating B3c may not be easy with changes in landmarks, either from natural or man-made forces over the seven decades. But the process may take them in directions they could not even have anticipated.
