11 movies that drive bisexuals wild and where to watch them

The upcoming film Materialists may be about a very straight love triangle, but the promotional images of stars Pedro Pascal, Dakota Johnson, and Chris Evans are a bisexual fantasy. There may not be a threesome in the film (or a make-out sesh between Pascal and Evan, though we can dream!), but the chemistry between the three leads is undeniable. From video footage of the actors dancing together to photos where the sexual tension between all three stars is palpable to a photo of Pascal holding Evans from behind, this photoshoot is making us think very bisexual thoughts. — (@) But Materialists isn't the only film that has caused a bi awakening or driven bisexuals wild. Between movies featuring bisexual characters and films with hot leads that have fans questioning their sexuality, these movies will have you feeling very h-word or rethinking everything you thought you knew about your sexuality. Universal Pictures The Mummy The Mummy is the prototypical 'bisexual awakening film' because of the undeniable hotness of the leads Brendan Fraser (Rick) and Rachel Weisz (Evelyn) in this campy Indian Jones-style action adventure movie. For those of us who saw this film for the first time of the precipice between childhood and adulthood and were desperately trying to figure out who we were, Rick and Evelyn being equally sexy was as confusing as it was delightful. Where to watch: Rent on Amazon Prime Columbia Pictures Wild Things On paper, the erotic thriller Wild Things seemed custom made for straight dude bros, but queer representation was scarce in 1998 when Wild Things debuted, and although the film isn't full of overt gayness, there is subtextual homoeroticism and a threesome scene between Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, and Matt Dillon. Yes, it was definitely filmed from the male gaze, but having sapphic content on the screen at all in the '90s was a surprise. The plot is ridiculous and hasn't aged perfectly, but between the sapphic make-out scene, the homoerotic energy between Dillon and Kevin Bacon, and Bacon's full-frontal nudity scene, bisexual millennials had their brain chemistry changed by this film. Where to watch: Rent on Amazon Prime IFC Films Y Tu Mamá También Y Tu Mamá También is the ultimate bisexual awakening road trip film. Starring the endlessly hot Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna, and Maribel Verdú, the award-winning film questions traditional definition of masculinity and the machismo ingrained in Mexican culture in the '90s, and contains one of cinema's best threesome scenes. In it, Verdú's character Luisa goes below frame to unfasten both boys' belts, while Bernal and Luna begin to passionately kiss above her. The young men have such a close friendship and have gone on such an emotional journey throughout the film that the scene makes perfect sense, and while there is awkwardness the next morning, having a threesome with two men making out on screen was basically unheard of in 1999, making Y Tu Mamá También a revelation for bisexual viewers. Where to watch: Netflix, Hulu Columbia/Allstar A Knight's Tale A Knight's Tale joins the pantheon of 'bisexual awakening film' alongside The Mummy since it's full of hot characters being horny on main, period costumes, campy violence, and delightful limbo characters. The Heath Ledger starring film features a gorgeous noblewoman (Shannyn Sossamon), a woman working in the male-dominated blacksmith field (Laura Fraser), a poet (Paul Bettany), and a touch-feely squire (Alan Tudyk). On the film's 20th anniversary, director Brian Helgeland alluded to the film's bisexual overtones in an interview with Variety, 'They're all broken-hearted except for Heath, who is in love. And they're all in love with Heath in a way,' he said. Where to watch: Philo, rent on Amazon Prime 20th Century Fox Titanic At first glance, you may think of Titanic as a very hetero movie, but since the film features Leonardo DiCaprio in his twink-era and Kate Winslet, who is a dream girl in any era, this falls squarely in the 'movies that drive bisexuals wild' category. Add on top of that Billy Zane in all of his hot, mustache-twirling glory (there's a reason people ship him and Leo) and this one is definitely for the bisexuals. Where to watch: Prime Video Jennifer's Body Jennifer's Body is the ultimate bisexual horror movie. Not only is this criminally misunderstood movie full of bisexual yearning with Needy (Amanda Seyfried) struggling with her attraction to her best friend Jennifer (Megan Fox), but being attracted to both Jennifer and Kyle Gallner's character Colin and his guyliner was a bi-awakening moment for many a horror fan. Where to watch: Rent on Amazon Prime Tri-Star Pictures Labyrinth In Labyrinth, David Bowie plays a goblin king who sports eyeliner, skintight pants, and a generous codpiece. Need we say more? Between Bowie and Jennifer Connelly as the main characters, this '80s fantasy musical is made for baby bi fans you can't decide between the two. Where to watch: Tubi, PlutoTV, Roku Channel, Hulu, Prime Video, Paramount+, Peacock Annapurna Pictures Professor Marston and the Wonder Women Professor Marston and the Wonder Women follows William Marston (Luke Evans), who created Wonder Woman, his smart wife Elizabeth (Rebecca Hall), and university student Olive Byrne (Bella Heathcote) as they discover that they are all in love with each other. This sweet bisexual story has everything you need: love, bondage, a polyamory. Plus, the fact that it's based on a true story should give bisexuals everywhere some hope. Where to watch: Pluto TV, Prime Video, Plex, and Fandango at Home Dimension Films Scream Scream was a groundbreaking movie for many reasons, including popularizing meta horror, and also served as a bi-awakening for baby '90s horror fans. Neve Campbell as Sydney Prescott has everyone of every gender crushing on her, but the palpably chemistry between supposedly straight characters Billy Loomis and Stu Macher had fans questioning their own sexuality — helped, of course, by how hot Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard were. Where to watch: Max MGM Challengers Starring Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O'Connor, gay director Luca Guadagnino's Challengers is a feast for bisexuals. Tashi (Zendaya) may not be explicitly queer, but she exudes dominant fem-top energy and the tension between the three leads, including the chemistry between the two male characters is palpable. Although we never get a sex scene between Faist and O'Connor, we do get to see them make-out with the encouragement of Tashi who lays back and watches. Plus, that sauna scene… Where to watch: Prime Video Alamy Cabaret If the costuming and makeup alone didn't scream bisexual energy, the fact that the heart of the film is a love triangle between cabaret singer Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli), academic Brian Roberts (Michael York), and wealthy playboy Maximilian von Heune (Helmut Griem), puts the film — and the Broadway play it's based on — squarely in the bi camp. Cabaret also features the subversive Emcee (famously played bi actor Alan Cumming on Broadway in the '90s), a sexually transgressive character who embodies queerness and plays with gender expression.
