Directed by Bryan Singer, Bohemian Rhapsody is an enthralling celebration of Queen, their music, and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek), who defied stereotypes and convention to become one of history’s most beloved entertainers. Following Queen’s meteoric rise, their revolutionary sound and Freddie’s solo career, the film also chronicles the band’s reunion, and one of the greatest performances in rock history. “Bohemian Rhapsody” on its list of the 500 greatest songs ever.

“We're Playing for The Other Misfits. They're The Outcasts, Right At The Back Of The Room. We're Pretty Sure They Don't Belong Either. We Belong To Them."

This quote from Bohemian Rhapsody pretty perfectly sums up their enduring appeal. Queen was a band of misfits who were creating entertainment for the other misfits. They related to the people in the crowd who were never the stars, and tried to make them feel like stars.
