Many of you have probably never heard of or seen this movie, but it is one of the most iconic gay films of all time. It featured vogueing before Madonna did it. It popularized terms like "shade" and "read". It showed the world a glimpse of what gay culture in New York City was like in the late 80s. And it went on to win over 10 awards.

Paris Is Burning featured many drag queens that revolutionized the industry, such as Dorian Corey, Pepper LaBeija, Octavia St. Laurent and Angie Xtravaganza.

Get into the legendary classic, girls.

If you're interested in seeing it, but are too lazy to find it online or are too poor to afford a DVD or Netflix, here it is:

Such a monumental piece of art.

Originally posted by Toya I saw this for the first time on Netflix about 6 months ago.

Originally posted by KingsOfLeon1994 what if they did a part 2 (but not a direct sequel) like with the new age of vogue and had cameos from Azeali, Madonna, others but i'll have to watch this later i'm going to sleep soon

Originally posted by ManDown I'm so sad that drag shows are nothing like this now. They're usually so bland; at least the ones I've been to.

Originally posted by Rihhyonce I want to go to a ball sooo bad, but everyone that I know that's been to one say they're usually just a mess.

Originally posted by KingsOfLeon1994 i can't at ManDown spoiling it but i figured they were dead (sorry) but i'm gonna really have to watch this soon i keep hearing of it more and more by the day

It makes me sad to think that my generation will never be able to experience something so majestic.

Originally posted by ManDown Don't worry, Venus Xtravaganza is the only one that died during the filming of the documentary. The others died in the years that followed. It's so sad/weird seeing them so full of life during the movie.
