If you want a cult classic that leans into the camp factor, you can't find a much better movie to watch than To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar. If the basic premise of "Three drag queens, played by Patrick Swayze(!), John Leguizamo(!!), and Wesley Snipes(!!!) go on a cross-country road trip, stopping in a small town for car repairs and helping organize a local festival" doesn't float your boat, you might want to look elsewhere.
The three are headed to a national drag queen pageant, snagging an autographed picture of Julie Newmar off of a restaurant wall for good luck. Unfortunately, their car breaks down in a small town, and much of the film's comedy comes from the three larger-than-life queens trying to fit in among a quiet, roadside community.
Despite the subject matter, To Wong Foo never really delves into anything too tasteless or falls far into the trap of "jokes that were acceptable in 1995 but aren't now." It's silly and relatively harmless, with a great nostalgia factor. Plus, Wesley Snipes in drag will never be not amazing.
