Come on .. lets fess up and confess our desires in movies
Offer up your favourite lesbian movie, the scene you liked most from that movie and why you love it so much. Also feel free to list all the movies you've seen and loved from the list shown in the poll.
Movie: Fire Scene: Where Rhada and Sita flirt with each other openly yet it code within the kitchen. So adorable. Why: Because it explores opening your heart to chance, the pain that can be felt but also the gentle and also explosive exploration of a new desire. I think its been beautifully done and commend the director for making this movie despite the sheer controversy surrounding it (which perversly wasn't due to the women loving women aspect, but rather a clash of religions I believe.)
Well .. I'm an avid lesbian movie fan and although most are terrible in quite a few ways each have their own highlights. My latest favourites are: Desert Hearts, The Hunger, Fingersmith, Tipping the Velvet and Foxfire.
Enjoy and I can't wait to see the poll results. Maybe we can set up a movie night offering a movie that most have not seen, I have about half of the movies on this list in my dvd collection ;)
I haven't seen most of the movies there, but three or so I have:
Better than Choclate - which I love. especially the songs! I think it is both sad and funny nad inspring all at the same time. And I love the bit where the straights are shagging and she shoves the butt plug up his ass as he is ****ing her! Amazing! lol.
But I'm a Cheerleader: Hilarious! 'I like Balls'. Funny, well observed and interesting.
If these walls could talk 2: Moving (I nearly cried) and well written, acted and observed. I like the the song that Ellen and Sharon Stone dance to at the end as well. What is it called again?

I LOVE Better Than Chocolate!! Just a fantastic feel good film, and I love the opening song 'Sexy'..Really want to get the soundtrack! I also think If These Walls Could Talk Two is incredibly moving and I love the portrayal of the relationships in the 1st and 3rd stories. And Gina Gershon in Bound is absolutely bee-yoo-tiful!xx

i know i know, i just feel bad cos i got the DVD, tried to watch it, and then BOOM - it breaks, lol. i guess it's my sense of natural clumsiness that leads me to think im usually the cause of all damage that happenes in 100 mile radius, lol
when i was a kid, i managed to break 20 plates, about 5 glasses, and a couple of cups...all with one cup, lol. how is THAT for damage? lol
me xx
