Sorry for the delay in posting this list! Getting back to work got pret-ty worky for a while there.

Here are the slashy old movies we talked about at Friday's panel, "The Sweet Smell of Slash". It includes m/m and f/f, a few OT3s, plus a couple-few scattered in there that are more canon-gay or queer than slashy per se.

In case the clips piqued your interest, the ones I showed were from Blazing Saddles, Test Pilot, and Trapeze; and the "show me yours I'll show you mine" pistol scene we acted out was from Red River.

Some of the movies on the list have stories on AO3--and maybe you'll want to watch a lot and write some more!

Enjoy!

Thank you for posting this. Seven Samurai is just such an awesome film. The swordsman - I keep forgetting his name - is not a pretty face, but so so beautiful in action. And the boy is so in love with him. *happy*
