* ''[[Barbie and the Diamond Castle]]'': The whole movie is about the [[Power of Friendship|power of Barbie and Teresa's friendship.]] They live together alone in a cottage in the woods, and in the end choose to keep this lifestyle instead of being princesses in a literal Diamond Castle. The handsome twins that should be their love interests never get any further than comic relief, as the girls are completely indifferent to them. |

* Quite a subtle example in ''Barton Fink'', also involving John Turturro. The only real suggestion for much of the film comes when Charlie shows him some wrestling moves. However, toward the end, {{spoiler|when the police believe he was an accomplice to Charlie's murders}}, they suggest that the pair may have had a sexual relationship - which Barton denies by clarifying that they 'wrestled together'. An odd example - very few people in the audience would suggest there was much [[Ho Yay]] there, but characters in the film do. |

* The two main characters of ''[[Bride Wars]]''...soooo much. Especially when they were shown together as children. Considering the first line of the trailer (paraphrased) is "The story I'm thinking of involves a bride and a bride?" It's hard to read that part as anything else. |

* Is it possible to have [[Ho Yay]] between two characters who technically never meet? If so, then the old musical ''Brigadoon'' managed it. Come on, you know the formula: Jeff, the more cynical of the pair of outsiders, is not only uninterested in the girl that ''takes him back to her home'', but actively disgusted by her attentions. Harry, Brigadoon native, hates life and wants to leave Brigadoon. If either one had been female, you ''know'' the script would have found a way to let Harry leave with Jeff. |

* ''Canone Inverso - Making Love'' is an Italian movie about a genius violinist, Jeno, pursuing his female love interest Sophie, a pianist. A wonderful love story, no doubt - except that a lot more attention is paid to an extremely close friendship Jeno forms with another violinist David in a music college in Prague; no need to repeat the old jokes about boys in boarding schools, because this movie cheerfully commits all of them, even the common showers. |

** The [[Ho Yay]] is unbelievable, which really isn't surprising for an European movie. There's a scene when the whole class of boys plays jazz improvisations together and when a professor walks in, they start shouting that they're making love. Then there's a scene where Sophie makes a speech about love for music, saying that you love something when you realize that you cannot live without it anymore; Jeno says: "She's talking about us," meaning Sophie and himself, and David says, visibly puzzled: "But she doesn't know we're friends!" |

** When David, a wealthy boy, invites Jeno to his home, the two discover that they're actually half-brothers, adding some incestuous taste to the already rampant [[Ho Yay]]. David breaks their friendship out of jealousy for Jeno's better violin skills, but later in the movie, we learn that while Jeno, who was Jewish, died in a concentration camp because he wouldn't be parted from also Jewish Sophie, David, consumed with guilt, spent the rest of his life mourning for Jeno, actually travelling around under Jeno's name, playing Jeno's old violin and searching for Jeno's and Sophie's lost daughter. |

* ''[[Jeepers Creepers]] 2'' is the epitome of this trope. Director Victor Salva stops at nothing to show the football team members, who are ''16'', taking their shirts off. In almost every scene. It doesn't help that they make plenty of dick jokes, argue about who is gayer, and there's a particular scene where the boys lay in top of the bus shirtless together, sun tanning. This made audiences uncomfortable, not due to the ho yay, but the fact that the characters are 16, mainly because many know that Salva is a convicted pedophile and child molester, having been arrested for videotaping himself having oral sex with Nathan Forrest Winters, the underage star of his film ''Clownhouse''. |

{{quote|"Despite Scott's homophobia, the movie has a healthy interest in the male physique, and it's amazing how many of the guys walk around bare-chested. The critic John Fallon writes 'at a certain point, I thought I was watching soft gay erotica,' and observes that when four of the guys go outside to pee, they line up shoulder to shoulder, which strikes him as unlikely since they are in a very large field. True in another movie, but in a film where the Creeper is likely to swoop down at any second and carry someone away, I would pick the tallest guy and stand next to him, on the theory that lightning will strike the tree and not you."}} |

*** Quite the contrary. As an openly gay director, Schlesinger stated that part of his intention with Midnight Cowboy was to show that two men could be friends without being homoerotic. This is in addition to the various interpretations of Joe being a closet-case. Though the movie has plenty of hoyay, Rizzo and Joe are specifically formed against that. |
