The Hunger (1983) - Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve
You know that inexplicable desire you have to be seduced by a gorgeous French vampire? You can probably trace it back to The Hunger. In this queer classic, Deneuve is Miriam, a sexy bloodsucker on the prowl for a new mate. She meets scientist Sarah (Sarandon) at a book signing and puts a spell on her—literally. Sarandon finds herself sipping brandy while Deneuve plays Delibes’ Lakmé on the piano. Her description of the opera becomes a classic pickup line (try it!) that has Sarandon out of her skimpy white t-shirt within the beat of a thudding human heart. As the score reaches a crescendo and gauzy white curtains whip around them, they share an immortal kiss that will change Sarandon’s life. Yes, from that moment forward, Sarandon will be the standard answer to the question, “Which woman on the planet do you most wish were a lesbian?”
Henry and June (1990) – Maria de Medeiros and Uma Thurman
“I want to be innocent, like you June” purrs French writer Anais Nin (Maria de Medeiros) to June Miller (Uma Thurman) as they slow dance in a gay nightclub. Henry Miller broke literary taboos, but it was his estranged bisexual wife who took Anais Nin to dizzying new sexual heights. Clothed in velvet dresses, drunk on red wine and their romantic imaginations, Anais and June finally ditch their husbands and whip each other into an erotic frenzy in the back streets of Paris. On the night before she sets sail for America, world-weary June tells Anais, “I’ve done the vilest things, the foulest things. But I’ve done them superbly.” Anais (awed by June’s animal magnetism) and June (in love with Anais’ poetic soul) dissolve into a tormented, languid kiss on the dance floor. If you’ve read Nin’s erotica, you’ll recognize June in all the tall, knowing blondes who seduce petite, demure heroines. And you’ll know what happened after this kiss…
High Art (1998) – Ali Sheedy and Radha Mitchell
Before there was Shane on The L Word, there was Ali Sheedy in High Art, scrawny, hipster cool and slouching her way into the cute straight girl’s bed. In director Lisa Cholodenko’s jaded expose of the precious world of art, Lucy (Sheedy) is a photographer whose brilliant career was sidetracked by an addiction to heroin. Rediscovered by art magazine intern Syd (Mitchell), Lucy falls in love as much with Syd’s joie de vivre as her luscious good looks. Their awkward, halting conversations in front of strung-out junkies (including Lucy’s girlfriend) are tortuous foreplay for the moment in which Lucy finally kisses nervous Syd—and Syd is surprised to find herself kissing Lucy back.
Wild Side (1995) – Joan Chen and Anne Heche
This movie was made before Anne Heche decided she was bisexual—hell, it was made before she decided she was gay! This pervy little thriller stars Heche as trick-turning sex addict (and banker!) Alex, who meets Virginia (Chen) at a business lunch. She doesn’t know that Chen is the wife of one of her “clients”—a whack job Mafioso (hammily played by Christopher Walken). After a few glasses of wine, Chen follows Heche into the powder room and the resulting kiss is a classic—the impulsive, feral Heche passionately devours the impossibly gorgeous and sophisticated Chen. Needless to say, they end up in bed--having effectively redefined the term “power lunch.”
Mulholland Dr. (2001) - Naomi Watts and Laura Harring
Who cares that the movie is another one of David Lynch’s protracted surrealistic fantasies? Sure, there are rotting corpses, unexplained parallel universes, and Billy Ray Cyrus sporting his trademark mullet. But what makes this film memorable is the palpable chemistry between Betty Elms/Diane Selwyn (Watts) and Rita/Carmilla Rhodes (played by former Miss USA Harring). Betty is a naïve Canadian actress who comes to Hollywood in search of her big break. Instead, she has a chance encounter with beautiful Rita, an amnesiac bombshell who can’t remember her real name or how large stacks of cash wound up in her purse. As the two unravel Rita’s sordid mystery, good girl Betty falls for the enigmatic brunette. When the moment of truth arrives, Betty breathlessly asks Rita, “Have you ever done this before?” Rita replies, “I don’t know. Have you?” Betty drops the Girl Scout act, gasping “I want to do it with you” as the two plunge into a long, hypnotic kiss.

"The Hours" with Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore - an extremely good movie, well worth watching (more than once).

You HAVE to see "Bound." I'm a proud gay man and it turns me on! You will thank me later, girl.
Also, "Gia" is pretty good too. You might also enjoy "The Watermelon Woman" and "Better Than Chocolate."
