B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Clea Duvall into the ol’ VCR. 

Listen. I’m a queer woman who grew up closeted in a small, conservative Texas town. 

Of course I love Clea DuVall. 

Clea DuVall has not only been in some of the most iconic movies of all time, she’s also starred in them. Also, lest we forget, she brought us the instant gay holiday classic, Happiest Season, and the adaptation of Tegan and Sara’s memoir, High School. 

She was one of my earliest crushes, and I know I’m not alone in that. 

Over the years, Clea DuVall has become a multi-hyphenate by acting, producing, directing, you name it. And, over the years, my crush on her has remained constant. 

Clea, thank you for bringing some of my favorite characters to life. 

Without further ado, here are some of my favorite Clea DuVall movies and shows, be it those she acted in or directed. 

Graham and Megan are another dream couple’s costume for me

But I’m a Cheerleader: Not to date myself, but I watched this movie on Logo, which we had through a Charter Communications digital cable box. 

The Faculty: I think some of my teachers were pod people, too. 

Happiest Season: Don we now our gay apparel. 

Girl, Interrupted: I loved this book so much as a teenager that I kept it in my backpack until it fell apart. 

Stokely is the personification of Avril Lavigne’s Let Go 

Zodiac: I Am Not Paul Avery, but I am a huge Clea DuVall fan. 

Little Witches: I thought I made this movie up for a long time. 

High School: Watching this in my Southern Baptist grandmother’s house with the door shut is definitely a metaphor for something. 

Buffy, the Vampire Slayer – “Out of Sight, Out of Mind”: For pennies a day, you can support teenagers that are phased out of visibility.
