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 Freaky Friday (2003), directed by Mark S. Waters. Think body-swap comedy meets mall-punk rebellion, with a dash of early-2000s angst and one very cursed fortune cookie. Starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan at their absolute chaotic best, fueled by chunky highlights, pop-punk bangers and enough early-aughts fashion to fill a Delia's catalogue, Freaky Friday is a sharply funny, surprisingly heartfelt ode to empathy, generational miscommunication and the horror of discovering your mum thinks your crush is cute. It's part teen comedy, part suburban fever dream and all kinds of iconic.

To quote Letterboxd user Jack, "and if i was to say the concert scene is one of the best film scenes ever created then what".
