Several things can be true re: Oliver Stone’s ‘Midnight Express’ (1979): liberal filmmaker, utterly homophobic movie, weird homoerotic moments coupled with Islamophobia and anti-Arab (though this is Türkiye) sentiment.

Movie moments that made me gay: the strip search scene in Midnight Express where Billy Hayes is completely naked and at the mercy of Turkish customs officers. This after they have completely exhausted the search for drugs he intended to smuggle on his flight back to the US.
