Welcome to Camp Classics, where we celebrate the films that queer culture has embraced for their unapologetic camp, iconic performances, and unforgettable style. Each screening dives into the movies that have become queer cultural staples, whether they were made with us in mind or not.

This month’s camp pick is Girl 6 (1996), directed by Spike Lee.

Think hustle meets heartbreak, but with stilettos, phone sex, and a Spike Lee edge. Girl 6 (1996) follows a struggling actress (played by Theresa Randle) who finds unexpected empowerment and identity in the world of phone fantasy. As she navigates sleazy auditions with sleazy directors (cue Quentin Tarantino cameo), anonymous intimacy, and the seductive pull of the persona she’s created, the line between performance and reality starts to blur. Stylish, provocative, and underscored by a Prince-curated soundtrack, Girl 6 is a bold exploration of fame, desire, and the price of being seen.

To quote Letterboxd user fina1girlz, "you would never think a movie about a phone sex worker could be so poetic and such a fucking vibe... and the cameos in this are iconic"
