For Pride Month 2026, we're going back to the nineties, the decade that brought the queer community both joy (New Queer Cinema, the growth of direct action movements) and pain (the height of the AIDS epidemic and the continuing homophobic backlash against queer liberation). We're exploring the scuzzy-sexy underbelly of the decade with four modern queer classics.

Gregg Araki's unclassifiable HIV drama / road movie / sex comedy was a faggy grenade thrown into the culture wars of early-90s America.

Told in Araki's signature crunchy-poppy style, The Living End portrays two HIV-positive lovers embarking on a nihilistic crime spree. With this film and his Apocalypse Trilogy, Araki found a radical new way to express the rage of the AIDS-era queer community, helping to birth the New Queer Cinema of the early 90s.

A gleefully irreverent take on the most serious of subjects, The Living End is a reminder that political cinema can make a difference to the conversation while still offering a fucking great time at the movies. 

"A queers-on-the-lam portrait that deserves a place in movie history." – B. Ruby Rich, Village Voice

Desperate, uproarious, it has the power of honesty and originality." – Janet Maslin,  New York Times

"A stylish, eloquent lovers-on-the-run movie with a radical urgent twist." – David Ansen, Newsweek
