Ho Yay/Film: Difference between revisions

* ''[[9|Nine]]'' is rather thick with [[Ho Yay]], much of it being the result of [[The Woobie|5]] being veeery physical with the other characters.

** [[May-December Romance|5 and 2 are boyfriends]]. I don't think you can even call it subtext, it's just right there:

*** Hell, one of 5's first lines in the movie is "If 2 were here, he would have done a better job."

*** And his completely breaking down after {{spoiler|2 was killed.}}

** It seems like it had to be intentional when Jude says, "I love the bugger," considering that "buggery" was originally used to refer to [[wikipedia:Bugger|anal sex.]]

* ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'': Some of the Genie's actions towards Aladdin could be considered flirtatious. But then again he's a very playful genie.

** Genie '''tricks Al into kissing him''' during ''Friend Like Me'' and later '''forcefully smooches him'''.

** The scene where Genie mistakes Pete for Aladdin.

* ''[[Alien (franchise)|Alien]] Resurrection'': Ripley and Cal. After spending the previous three movies interacting exclusively with males and a surrogate child, Ripley wastes no time in becoming very chummy and touchy ''very'' quickly with the cute little {{spoiler|android}} girl whom she first meets when Cal attempts to kill her, while Cal goes from wanting her as dead as the rest of the aliens to letting Ripley stick her fingers inside of her (not like ''that'', perverts) and confiding her deepest feelings and fears {{spoiler|about not being human.}}

* Ron Burgundy in ''[[Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy]]'' has Champ wrapped around his finger. In one scene Champ says the following to Ron:

'''Brian Fantana:''' Take it easy, Champ. Why don't you sit this next one out, stop talking for a while. }}

* ''[[Anchors Aweigh]]'' has quite a bit of this. Clarence and Joe are rather touchy-feely and are quick to gush about each other to Aunt Susie. Given, Joe's trying to set Clarence up with Susie, but still. One gets the feeling that if this movie were made today, the two sailors would probably have ended up with each other. Or there's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcZ5wjyPh70 this] interpretation.

** Even better, when Ali makes a move on Everett, he shoots her down, saying that the two of them can't be together, because they're "both with Virgil". ...'kay.

* ''[[Arthur Christmas]]'': Phillip the elf certainly has some (unreciprocated) feelings for Steve.

* ''[[The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford]]'': Ford's "admiration" of James often borders on sexual tension.

* ''[[The A-Team (film)|The a Team]]'', considering that other than explosions, it mainly consisted of hot guys clutching each other while sniping about the female love interest.

* ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]'', in addition to teasing Steve Rogers/Tony Stark, threw the fangirls a big old curveball with Tony Stark/Bruce Banner. There's also Agent Coulson admitting he watched Steve sleep...

* Enjoy Roger Ebert's review of ''[http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19950407/REVIEWS/504070301/1023 Bad Boys]'':

* ''[[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.

* ''[[Blades of Glory]]'' is pretty much built around [[Ho Yay]], though it goes with the territory of having a male-male figure-skating pair.

* ''[[Blazing Saddles]]''. Oh, dear sweet [[Saiyuki|Bakazaru]], ''Blazing Saddles''. Bart/Jim OTP.

'''Jim:''' Oh, I don't know. Play chess... [licks his lips] Screw... }}

** Also, they ride off into the sunset together! Granted, it was in a car (a limo, maybe? It's been a while), but still! And they started off on a horse!

* 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.

** Any fans of [[Sherlock|Sherlock BBC]] who slash Mycroft Holmes and D.I. Lestrade will agree that it's completely possible. They never appear together on screen once.

* The entire cast of ''[[Bring It On]]'' (2000). Among other things, one male character claims to "speak fag fluently" and two female friends are referred to as "dykeadelic".

** Not to mention the main characters. it was easy to forget that the brother was the primary love interest.

** At least one critic has pointed out that it's much more likely that a teenage boy would {{spoiler|kill himself}} because he couldn't come out to his parents than because he couldn't follow his dream of being an actor.

* Kim and Zoe in ''[[Death Proof]]'':

'''Zoe:''' Deal. }}

* Machine-Gun Joe from ''[[Death Race]]'' is "one angry homo", but the Hoyay really shows up at the end when Joe and Jenson {{spoiler|escape the prison and run away to Mexico together to raise Jenson's daughter}}. Not to mention Joe even has a cutesy nickame for him: "Igor".

** Likewise in ''[[Goldeneye]]'' when Alec is trying to seduce Natalia on the train, and he says "James and I shared everything...''Absolutely everything...''"?

* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]], like a lot of things, in ''[[Dirty Work]]'':

* There's a scene in the [[Keira Knightley]] film ''[[The Duchess]]'' where the title character, Georgianna, Duchess of Devonshire, is talking with her friend Lady Elizabeth (Bess) Foster, about Charles Grey; Bess insists that Grey loves her, and tells her that sex can be pleasurable (Georgianna's husband being a cold, unloving man), and then proceeds to 'help' her imagine Grey by undoing her robe and kissing her back as Grey would do. What makes the scene particularly weird is that Bess later becomes the Duke's lover.

** It's entirely possible that the historical Georgiana and Bess were lovers, if not probable.

* The film ''Feds'' features two females who are training to become FBI agents. Dewitt and Zuckerman, the characters, develop a [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|very close friendship]] that borders on les yay. When clothes shopping, Zuckerman says Dewitt has "great legs" and Dewitt leaves a date pissed when he talks bad about Zuckerman. Not to mention the constant physical affection the two show towards each other (hugs, arms draped over each other's shoulders, amongst other things).

* Pips and Zak from ''[[Fern Gully]]: The Last Rainforest''.

* Tyler Durden and the protagonist in ''[[Fight Club]]''. It turns out that {{spoiler|[[Split Personality|they're the same person]],}} but that doesn't reduce all the [[Ho Yay]]. The narrator ''bathes'' in front of him.

** Apparently, the [[Ho Yay]] was intentional. The director wanted the audience to be made uncomfortable by the subtext so they wouldn't anticipate the [[Twist Ending]].

* Freddy and Jason in ''[[Freddy vs. Jason]]'', the fight in the boiler room, where Freddy is moving a floating Jason with his crotch (I'm not kidding). Then after Jason is defeated that time, Freddy leans very close to him, it's to take off his mask, but still.

* This bit from ''The Frisco Kid:''

'''Tommy:''' Come here, darling. }}

* Idgie and Ruth of ''[[Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe]]'' are much closer to each other than to any man. Idgie in particular is extremely devoted to Ruth, and Ruth outright says that the reason she left her (abusive) husband with Idgie was because she loved her. [[Or So I Heard|Apparently in the original book they were lovers]].

* ''[[The Green Hornet (film)|The Green Hornet]]'': Britt and Kato are Belligerent Hetero Life Partners with a side of [[Digging Yourself Deeper]] on Britt's part: "He's not...my ''man'', he's my...we're platonic male friends."

* ''Green Street Hooligans'' has this between the Harvard good boy Matt and the football gang member Pete. They start off with a fight and reluctance to be together (Pete needs to be paid, Matt needs a place to stay) but Pete soon takes a keen interest in Matt after he sees him fighting alongside the gang. Pete and Matt become friends so fast the gang members are shocked:

'''Bovver:''' Nah, I'm starting to wonder about you two. I mean if I didn't know any better I'd say you was a couple of gay boys.'' }}

*** When Matt is outcast from GSE because {{spoiler|he is accused of writing about them as an insider due to his Journalism degree}}, Pete risks his friends, reputation and place in GSE to defend Matt.

* Ron and Nick in ''The Dilemma''.

* ''[[Hancock]]'' was full of subtext between Ray and Hancock, the hated hero whose image Ray tries to clean up. Besides the complete devotion and faith Ray has to Hancock and Hancock's trust in Ray, there is the bedroom scene (Doesn't help that Ray is pretty much drunk, and Hancock helps him get into bed) and {{spoiler|At the end, Hancock somehow gets Ray's All-Heart logo on the 'moon' for him.}}

'''Ray''': OK, but that's all you're getting off of me. }}

* Alan from ''[[The Hangover]]'' is Ho Yay personified.

** It's further exploited at the DVD [[Hilarious Outtakes|gag reel]], which finishes with Ho Yay shots of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

** [[Word of God]] says it was deliberate, or is at least very conscious of it - [http://edgarwrighthere.com/2009/10/the-steamy-hot-fuzz-slash-fiction-tweets-october-19th-2009/ and even approving].

''"I cannot say how much we all enjoyed writing these. You slash fiction writers are having way too much fun."'' }}

* ''[[Ice Age]]'' - With Sid being the cause of a lot of it. Not to mention Buck and Rudy. And let's not forget the '[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|interesting]]' scene in the plant between Manny and Diego...

*** [http://godofwine.livejournal.com/92171.html Here] is where you can find a list of all the scenes in which Arthur/Eames is supposedly present.

** Saito/Cobb.

* Blatantly portrayed in ''Infamous'', with a twisted relationship complete with steamy kiss between Truman Capote (Toby Jones) and Perry Smith ([[Daniel Craig]]. Yes, [[James Bond]]). More subtle in the ''other'' Truman Capote biopic, ''[[Capote]]'', but still present. Capote's real-life relationship with Perry Smith, one of two murderers he interviewed and corresponded with for five years while writing ''In Cold Blood'' has been the subject of much speculation for decades. Some of Capote's friends alleged that he'd been in love with Smith, and their letters to one another definitely come across as romantic. We do know that Capote bribed guards to allow him and Smith to be in a cell alone together, that Capote was unable to watch Smith hanged, and that Smith left him all his belongings after his death. At least Capote is confirmed to be homosexual in real life.

* ''[[Interview with the Vampire]]''. The sexual tension between [[Brad Pitt]] and [[Tom Cruise]]. This is made [[Memetic Mutation|over 9000]] times funnier by the fact that [[Tom Cruise]] had ''no idea'' they were canon lovers. AT ALL.

** Just to add to the [[Tom Cruise]] and [[Brad Pitt]] gayfest, it's probably pretty damn intentional that Lestat and Louis' vampires-playing-house routine mirrors a really bad marriage, right down to the "[[The Baby Trap|if we have a kid together, he'll never be able to leave me!"]] deal.

** There's also some serious tension between Louis and Armand. So much so that even Claudia calls them on it.

Claudia - "He wants you as you want him. He's been waiting for you." }}

** My God! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWUxsUxMZ0E This scene] with Louis and Armand isn't subtext, it's text. Plain bold text. Armand clearly ''wants'' Louis, and Louis admits his offer tempts him. Then the almost kiss, the caress, the "You want me to quicken you once more." Come on guys, come on.

* ''[[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''.

** Critics made plenty of note of this. Says [[Roger Ebert|Ebert]] in his [http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20030829/REVIEWS/308290302/1023 review]:

* ''[[Jennifer's Body]]''. It's an [[Porn with Plot|erotic thriller]] starring [[Anything That Moves|Megan Fox]]...what do you expect?

* [[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|Baloo and Bagheera]]. There's the whole scolding-mother carefree-father thing being played, the long and emotional eulogy Bagheera gives Baloo when the bear [[Disney Death|"dies"]] to protect Mowgli, and come on. Baggy outright asks the guy if he would marry a panther!

** Haldir and Aragorn, anyone? They seem to hug an awful lot...Or maybe that was just once.

** Merry and Pippin. Seriously, as if their tearful separation in ''Return of the King'' isn't enough, their reunion after the Battle of Minas Tirith? With Pippin tearfully cradling Merry and then covering him with his cloak? My goodness. Just check out the dialogue:

'''Pippin:''' No, Merry. I'm going to look after you. }}

*** And neither of them ever had another love interest, either.

*** 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.

* In ''[[Mission Impossible]]: Ghost Protocol'', Ethan very soulfully and intensely looking at Brandt during a conversation about secrets: "You tell me yours, and I'll tell you mine." The fact that [[Tom Cruise]] is [[Top Gun|no]] [[Interview with the Vampire|stranger]] to Ho Yay...

** It's not just Ethan that he has subtext with. There's this slashtastic quote directed at Benji after he asked why his codename is Pluto.

** There is also the scene at the Burj {{spoiler|when Ethan is climbing back down the outside of the hotel and ends up hanging from the open window, Brandt holding onto his leg}}. Let's just say that he isn't exactly shy about climbing all over Brandt to get back to safety.

* ''[[Moon Child]]'':

** The abandoned cabin in the woods where they meet in secret because their friendship is forbidden to talk about their hopes and dreams, come up with plans, and drink a lot of absinthe and do drugs ''totally'' isn't [[Make-Out Point]]. We swear. (Also, the photographic composite of Justin's and Richie's faces just looks like a prediction of [[M Preg|what their kids would look like.]])

* ''[[My Blue Heaven]]'': The two male leads troublemaker Vincent "Vinnie" Antonelli and FBI agent Barney Coopersmith show this in one scene in the form of this exchange after Barney saves Vinnie from gangsters.

'''Barney:''' You saved mine. }}

* Don't know if it belongs here or in Theater, but ''[[My Fair Lady]]'' anyone? As [[Will and Grace]] put it:

** The movie itself said it even better.

'''Higgins' Mother:''' ''"You're a pretty pair of babies, playing with your live doll."'' }}

** There is a scene where Higgins imagines Eliza's new dress and uses Pickering as stand-in. He touches his hips, breast and shoulders while he imagines new details for the dress and ends up giving him an ''appreciative'' look once he is done.

** Discussing Eliza's options once the bet is over, Higgins has this little insight:

** And lets not forget Higgins' little song titled "Why can't a woman be more like a man?", in which he continually uses Pickering as an example: "Would you be hurt if I took out another fellow?"

** And then we have the fact that Eliza/Higgins is easily the most chaste love story in all films. It takes until the last song for Higgins to even realize that he even ''likes'' Eliza, and then at the last scene she just appears, The End. No big finish kiss or anything. It could easily end with Eliza marrying Freddie while becoming Higgins and Pickerings BFF and with Pickering and Higgins bookending it in their library chatting about language once again.

** The sequel is better. No, they weren't ''really'' going to kiss, but yeah...

** It didn't help when {{spoiler|the sand in the hourglass was suffocating Jedidiah, and he was trying to tell Octavius about how their relationship progressed "from enemies to friends and some stuff that will make you cry."}} Subtle.

* ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]'': of all the citizens of [[Halloweentown]], the Mayor seems the most worried when Jack goes missing -- and it doesn't look like just as a professional or as a friend, either. Also, there's really no reason why, when he decided to show, Jack had to announce his presence to [[Big Bad|Oogie Boogie]] looking like [[Foe Yay|he's trying to seduce him]].

* ''Nowhere Boy''- the film about the childhood and teenage experiences of [[John Lennon]]- has this between John and Paul in spades. 'course, John and Paul always had it, everywhere.

*** Upon their first meeting- while fighting, no less- Jack questions Will's sexuality. Now take into account the suggestive "not all treasure is silver and gold, mate", and Jack GIVING A HEART to Will... Elizabeth who?

** Also Jack Sparrow and Cutler Beckett. "Each left our marks on the other" indeed.

'''Jack:''' ''(grinning)'' Me! }}

*** Of course, he adds the word "dead" right after, but still.

* ''[[The Prestige]]''. Mostly [[Foe Yay]], with a side of fangirl squee.

* ''[[The Princess Bride (film)|The Princess Bride]]'' has Count Rugen (the guy who killed Inigo's father) and Prince Humperdink. In loads. Especially the scene outside of the secret passage tree to the torture chamber when the Count is getting ready to torture Westley.

'''Count Rugen:''' [''also sincere, with a worried look''] Get some rest. If you haven't got your health, then you haven't got anything. }}

** And Inigo and Fezzik are so adorably married. Their rhyming game! And the way they smile at each other! And when Fezzik takes care of Inigo after his epic bender! They're basically two halves of one useful, adult person. There's the [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl|Huge Guy Skinny Guy]] thing, but let's just [[Squick|not think too hard]] [[Hot Skitty-On-Wailord Action|about that]]. It's not that they're ''doing it'', it's that they're [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] to a mind-boggling degree.

* ''[[Queen Christina]]'' starred rumored bisexual Greta Garbo as the titular [[wikipedia:Christina of Sweden|queen of Sweden]], who frequently dressed like a man, never married, and was also rumored to be bisexual or a lesbian. With a set-up like that you'd expect it to have some [[Ho Yay]], and you'd be right to. The real Christina is suspected to have had a love affair with Ebba Sparre, one of her ladies, and there's pretty much no other way to interpret their relationship in the movie. They kiss several times, and when Christina discovers that Ebba wants to marry a man she flies into a rage. Then when Christina is [[Sweet Polly Oliver|mistaken for a man]] at an out-of-the-way inn, a serving wench makes it very clear she's available. And the other way around, the Spanish ambassador Antonio certainly [[Sweet on Polly Oliver|seems interested in "him,"]] and agrees to sleep in the same bed with the "young man" before finding out he's a she.

* ''[[The Quick and the Dead]]'': Gene Hackman and [[Russell Crowe]]. Yes, as a matter of fact, it is [[Squick|kind of icky]].

* If you squint at the relationship between Mindy and Rose in the obscure [[David Cronenberg]] film ''Rabid''. Mindy is determined to take care of her, seems to have stripped her naked when she was feeling ill, suggests she take a nice hot bath... For Rose's part she was violently against Mindy being her next victim, even when she didn't think {{spoiler|it was lethal.}}

* Don't forget about the 1999 black comedy ''[[Ravenous]]'' that is about cannibals in the 1840s out in the Sierra Nevada wilderness. The entire plot is basically [[Big Bad|Ives']] attempt to persuade main character Boyd into embracing being a cannibal and joining his side in his plan to get a reliable food source. According to director Antonia Bird's commentary, her original ending for the movie was {{spoiler|the camera zooming out of the barn from Ives and Boyd's dead bodies as if following their souls as they flew off together into the ether}}. She was forced to change it when people claimed it was "too romantic" of an ending. She didn't think it was romantic at all.

** The new film's Kirk and Spock have some moments, too. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by {{spoiler|Older Spock commenting on how deep and meaningful his friendship was Kirk was, how important it was, how it changed him forever...}}

** What about Kirk and McCoy in the new film? Ohhhhhhhh boy.

'''Bones:''' Study my ass. }}

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irXv3rTJ5qo Nimoy on Spock].

** The Beadle's face during "Poor Thing", when Turpin is on the street attempting to woo Lucy with flowers, makes it look like he's envious of the attention Lucy is getting from the judge. And when Turpin tells him he plans on marrying Johanna, the Beadle looks shocked and then...extremely disappointed. Hell, there's a number of moments between those two that suggests the Beadle holds more than respect for Judge Turpin.

* ''[[Sweet Smell of Success]]''. Listen to the dialog carefully - it seems that Sidney was Hunsecker's boy toy for a while, and Hunsecker has blackballed him because he's a jilted lover. What to make of this line:

** Later, JJ says this to Sidney:

*** Of course, then there's the way JJ incestuously protects his sister...

* ''[[Tank Girl]]''. Tank Girl and Jet Girl meet in prison ([[Prison|Women in Prison]]). Tank Girl regularly seems to be flirting with Jet Girl, and even kisses her at one point to convince a guard that they're lovers so he'll leave Jet Girl alone. Tank Girl also tells Jet Girl jokes to try to make her laugh.

* Wartime [[Ho Yay]]: In the WWII film ''[[The Thin Red Line]]'', [[Token Good Teammate|Pvt. Witt]] (Jim Caviezel) and [[Knight in Sour Armor|Sgt. Welsh]] (Sean Penn) seem to have a bond that goes above and beyond a commander and his soldier:

(Earlier in the same scene) '''Witt:''' You care about me, don't you, sarge? I always felt like you did. Why do you always make yourself out like a rock? One day I can come up and talk to you and the next day it's like we never even met. }}

** And one of the last lines of the movie, where Welsh can only be talking to Witt {{spoiler|after Witt died.}}:

* ''Third Star'' has James (played by [[Benedict Cumberbatch]]) slashing it up with absolutely everything and everyone. Miles often behaves like his ex, while Davy actually lives with James and his parents and couldn't possibly care more for James if he was in love with him, which he pretty much is anyway. One scene shows him helping James get dressed, while the ending sees him holding {{spoiler|James in his arms twice, once when he's merely unconscious and once when he's already dead}}, staring off into the distance, completely heartbroken.

* ''[[This Is Spinal Tap]]''. Look at Nigel's expression of disgust whenever David's Yoko-Ono-esque girlfriend Jeanette shows up. Or at him watching David all the time. Or at him saying they're closer than brothers. Yeah... ''somebody'' has unrequited love here.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekXxi9IKZSA Somebody else noticed.]

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHklGtW3rwU As did Quentin Tarantino]

'''Hollywood:''' Don't tease me. }}

** Val Kilmer's also aware, as he mentioned during an interview promoting ''[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bang]]''.

'''Val Kilmer:''' Well, not counting ''Top Gun.'' }}

** It doesn't help that they're...[[Village People|in the Naaaavyyyy!]]

** Also, as of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Megatron and Starscream appear to be up to their old tricks. "Starscream, I'm home!"

** Yet another from ''Revenge of the Fallen'', listen to what Megatron had to say as he pinned Sam down to a table mid-movie:

* Mike Ribble and Tino Orsini in the 1956 film ''Trapeze''. Words don't do justice to the looks they throw at each other.

* ''[[The Troll Hunter]]'': Maybe a little between Thomas and Hans, particularly when Hans is fixing his wound.

** Flynn/CLU 2.0 from ''Betrayal'' and ''Legacy''. CLU's behavior is staked somewhere at the intersection of a [[Knight Templar]] [["Well Done, Son" Guy]] (as 'the son'), [[Foe Yay]], and a strange version of [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] / [[The Unfavorite]] (especially notable in the ''Betrayal'' comic, re: the ISOs).

* Noelle and Abby in ''[[The Truth About Cats and Dogs]]''.

'''Abby:''' Thank you, honey. I know you would. }}

* ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' is already covered under the literature section, but Edward's flashback to Carlisle [[Emergency Transformation|turning him into a vampire]] has Edward making an honest-to-god orgasm face. Complete with creepy rape vibes.

* Every single movie [[Kevin Smith]] ever set in "[[The View Askewniverse]]" features the [[Comedy Duo]] of Jay and Silent Bob who are [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] who seem to be on the cusp of becoming a full-fledged homosexual relationship. It was only used as a plot point in ''[[Chasing Amy]]'', though it was [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] heavily in ''[[Clerks]] 2''.

** In An Evening With Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder, Kevin kind of lampshades this. Talking about his wife's Playboy shoot, he at one point, totally an [[Ass Pull]], suggests she dresses like Jay and he dresses like Silent Bob:

** There are two main male characters in every movie, as well, and they're always [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] who seem ready to tie the knot. This was actually a plot point in ''[[Chasing Amy]]''.

** [[Word of God]] is that Jay probably ''is'' bi.

** See also:

'''Jay:''' Dude, not all the time. }}

*** Ditto Banky. Hell, Banky and Hooper seem to end up together, if the end of ''[[Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back]]'' is to be believed (they've got their arms around each other as they walk out of the movie theater).

* ''[[Wings (film)|Wings]]'' (1927) features one of the earliest examples of a man-on-man kiss on the lips, at the end.

** The girl in the triangle was never pursued by either. Rather, the title cards pretty much spell it out:

"I knew it - - all the time - - " }}

* ''[[Withnail and I]]'' with even non-slashers believing that Withnail is in love with Marwood. Marwood, in return, has affection for Withnail, treating him like a small child and looks as if the goodbye is causing him extreme amounts of pain.
