everytime I watched the show, I just couldn't take my eyes away from Lucy Lawless. but ironically she looked so NOT feminine, those days I wasn't sure what aspects of her attracted me so much. then many year passes it was finally Jolie in Gia :)

I knew then that I wanted a  1900 car and i wanted to steam those windows up. And Hello Kate Winslet, is bib worthy.

I think my first crush was Jennifer Love Hewitt in I Know What You Did Last Summer. And then it was like Alyssa Milano in Charmed and then definitely Jessica Alba in Dark Angel was when I first started acknowledging I probably wasn't straight. A few years later, I watch the OC and that Marissa & Alex kiss definitely got me feeling [insert word I cannot put my finger on at the moment] inside. And then I watched DEBS. That's when I finally came out to people. I think it helped cause I was in that transition from high school to college.

I find it hard to believe that people come to the realization that they're gay from a single movie. But maybe I'm wrong. I just know I'd known all along since around middle school and sort of eased myself into the idea rather than *BAM!* "Oh, I think I'm gay!"

My very first lesbian movie crush was Lesley Ann Warren in Cinderella.  I saw it when I was 7 years old and remember thinking:  she's so pretty, Prince Charming, not so much so...uh, oh.   I still think the same thing when I see her to this day.

I was totally smitten with Linda Fiorentino in VisionQuest and again as Sascha in Gotcha! Likewise, I fell for Mary Stuart Masterson in Live to Tell and by Some Kind of Wonderful I was thoroughly gone and have never gotten over it.  Frankly, for my generation, all of John Hughes 80s teen angst movies were the stuff of fledgling lesbian dreams. 

Show Girls

last goodbye kiss turned me on!

I still remember watching the trailer on a class I was like 9 or so, I saw Angelina Jolie and I fell in love, no joke lol ...then I watched the movie a few years afterwards and yup, I was attracted to girls :)

"i don't suffer from insanity...i enjoy every minute of it"

My one had to be All Over Me. Clude is so amazing, I just fell in lust with her. Wow and Lucy mmmmmmm

Im going to have to say that it was But Im a Cheerleader, it made me want to go to that camp, not to de-gay me, but to hang out with all the girls!

"I'll grow my hair, I'll wear a bra, I'll even cut my penus off for you!" She Has a Girlfriend by Reel Big Fish

It was whilst watching "The Mask of Zorro" that I remembered watching "The Darling Buds of May" when I was younger, really young like 8 or so, and I used to watch it for Catherine Zeta Jones every time it was on my Mum and Dad recorded it so that they had the whole series on tape and I'd watch the videos and fast-forward the bits that CZJ wasn't in. *swoon*

still crazy after all these years

i got totally obssesed with Fried Green Tomatoes. I was too young to see any clear lesbian subtlety but got the biggest crush on Mary Louise Parker. She's gorgeous!!
Then i got older and Xena WP began airing, and there she was Renee O'connor.... my goodness

"I need some psycholesbian theraphy"

"Ghost World". Now, I watched it with my boyfriend at the time...and he was Sri Lankan...and the opening credits feature this teenage girl dancing to a Bollywood musical.

He was a little upset with me, since I was the one who picked it out.

After getting over that trauma, we started exploring each other's bodies the way teenagers do. I had to hide my face in my hands to keep from giggling at him. And then we started fooling around, but I kept on getting distracted by the movie. Especially Thora Birch's sex scene. I honestly remember the movie much better than my first sexual experiences with him.

I'm the worst girlfriend in the world.

i would say L.A. Law back then when it was first time they showed 2 women kiss on tv. I was surprised and thrilled and wanted to see more of that. i liked L.A. Law with different people. since then, i always want to see lesbian characters on tv and movies and see they make love or kiss...it's more fun than 2 straight people (woman and man) kiss because i see that many times...it's so boring and old same news. it felt long time ago.

I'm pretty sure it was Daryl Hannah in Splash back in the day.  I thought she was stunning and b/c she played a mermaid, it also started my lifelong love and interest in everything fantasy and mythological.

OHH!!  another big indicator from around the same time: Tanya Roberts in Sheena Queen of the Jungle.  I still get tingly everytime I happen to pass by that movie on TV. :0)

For me, it'll always be Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle as I sat through that whole film thinking "my god, the Angels are so hot, I want them so badly". Although the first lesbian movie that got me going was probably Lost & Delirious.

It wasn't a movie for me...

It was my girlfriend while she forced me to watch The L Word season 1 over a cup of coffee at her place. We did that for like three days and I must say, those where some of the best times I've ever had (and don't think dirty... all we did was enjoy each other's company).

Sadly enough I only came out of denial about 2 years ago... so I've yet to watch that many Lesbian movies. But I do like Imagine Me & You.

~:.kC.:~

Titanic. I saw it for the first time a couple of monthes ago and now I'm OBBSESED with Kate Winslet. Does anybody know where i can sign up for a 12 step program?? LoL

mmm kate...im so gay!

There were probably many others, and this isn't even a movie, but when Alias used to be good, I often found myself watching and drooling over Lena Olin. That was when I realized, "Yeah...not straight."

I was alone in my apartment..my roommates had gone away and I was flicking through the channels looking for something to watch, I stopped on no particular stn in general and watched a yellow train pull up to a station and a nice looking lady in a gray suit got off and looked around....The title drifted across the screen. I've never heard of or seen this movie before and had no inkling as to what it was about...hmm might be interesting.....It was Desert Hearts.  Halfway through I remember staring at the tv totally bawling my eyes out saying no no no no no....but a flood of memories immediately cascaded through my mind, and I knew..."that's what's wrong with me" I thought.....for years I had absolutley no clue.  I had crushes on guys but nothing as powerful or tormenting as how I felt about certain women in my small world.  Still...I didn't clue in.  Nobody spoke of it in my world.  No Idea such a thing existed!  Thank you to the Desert Heart People!!!  My gf and I will be celebrating our 10th anniv next year and I couldn't be happier!!! 

(Sorry so long...I tend to blather on sometimes lol)

I liked girls from the age of 6, but never really thought of it being this really big thing, until I watched the TV series Bad girls when it was first broadcasted, because I remember liking girls, but wasn't too sure on the whole lesbian scene, and that basicually just confirmed things for me.

Also the TV  series Sugar Rush & of course The L Word were eye openers for me.

Helen(BG),Kim(SR),Alice(TLW) what a good combination :)

 Man it's all Christina Riccis fault!!!

I had a major thing about Wednesday Admas god help me...I was also a major fan of Xena...and Wonder woman...I never had a chance did I *sigh*

Dance like no ones watching...but drink lots of vodka first

Don't think it was a movie for me either. But I think it comes a little from whatching Buffy for as long as I can remember. Like, girls liking girls has never been "unormal" to me. It is so wierd, I just thought about it, but Alex in The O.C was like the hottest girl I new for months and i told it randomly to friends, and neither me nor them picked up the clue that I might be gay.... And this I just realized now. lol.

The thing, on the other hand, that made be question my sexuality for the first time, was when I had the biggest crush on a girl I met at summercamp when I was 13. Atleast I think that was the first time... Can't really remember anymore...

I guess for me that would have been Marina on L Word...

the first time I watched it made me finally admit that there was something in women I would never ever find in men

so that discovery took me some 24 years ;)

Girl Interrupted.  I felt things my dorky high school (guy) crushes couldn't begin to come close to.

Actually, the movie that made me realize I'm gay was You've Got Mail, haha.

Cause I had a crush on Meg Ryan ._.

I mean, I've always known that I felt atracted to girls, but had never admited it to myself. So I must say that Neve Campbell changed my concepts.

Of course it took me a few years to find out that my own city was secretly (not that much) a big gay one, that a lot of people I knew was very much gay and that I could stop losing my time trying to fall in love with boys and start breaking my heart (not that much) with girls.

Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman made me wonder...I mean if I ignored Richard Gere at his most charming and handsome age...

Also, I had such a huge crush on Joey when I watched "Dawson's Creek". I always thought Dawson was crazy to look at Jen with Joey there!!!!

Well, there wasn't one film or experience that led me to such a big revelation about my sexuality. You know what did it? My friend lent me her password for SuicideGirls.com. This was a few years ago, when everyone still thought it was just a cool place to look at naked alt chicks and no one knew what an exploitative and terrible operation they run. Anyway, after at least a month of spending every day on that website looking at pictures of naked women, I had my epiphany.

Because I'm bisexual, for a long time I wasn't in touch with my attraction to women; I didn't really give those feelings a second thought.

But I remember being in grade school and seeing Titanic and being completely arrested by Kate Winslet. I remember writing in my diary that seeing her naked gave me strange feelings and I didn't know what they were. But, like I said, I never gave it much thought, especially because at that particular time I was in total, utter DICAPRIO FANGIRL MODE. So embarrasing!

To this day, I'd like to note, I still get, er, peculiar feelings when I see Kate Winslet!

Also, Todd Haynes's film Velvet Goldmine was incredibly important to me in high school. It didn't make me discover I was queer, but it enabled me to start thinking honestly about sexuality- my own, and sexuality in general. Plus, it's a loving homage to one of my favourite musicians (David Bowie) and made me appreciate Oscar Wilde, whose work more or less changed my life. It's a tremendous film, and I still adore it.
