As a 17-year-old transvestite-in-training, The Queen blew my mind upon its release in 1968.
Here was a film about a womanless beauty pageant at a time when any information about crossdressing was very difficult to find, leaving girls like me who lived out in the boonies to wonder if we were all alone in the world. The Queen indicated otherwise.
Here is the link to Rolling Stone's story about restoration and re-release of this important documentary: The Link.
