zingerella and I have determined by skientifical research (a.k.a. polling a bunch of our friends at Stitch n' Bitch) that two iconic movies of the 80s and 90s, Terminator 2 and Aliens, have helped a lot of lesbians figure out their sexuality and have nudged otherwise straight women just a little farther along the Kinsey Scale. All of the women involved in this conversation of a certain generation who had seen said movies agreed.
Oh, admit it.
But what we also realized was that we have no idea whether the equivalent sorts of movies exist for men because, well, male sexuality is very confusing. We sort of figure that there are certain Kinsey-shifting actors and movies out there, but we're not entirely sure what they are.
We think that this guy would probably do it, though.
So we require your input, O Livejournal friends and acquaintances. Which movies and actors made you gay(er)?

Oh yes, Bowie may have confirmed it for me, but there are other tasty treats to be appreciated.
The scene in George of the Jungle where Brendan Fraser is running with the horses...?
*swoon*

Date: 2009-01-20 06:49 am (UTC)More recently, because I'm a total fangrrl, I'm very gay for Gareth David-Lloyd, John Barrowman and David Tennant.
On a more general scale I'm gay for... well... all these people!
A few extras: Daniel Craig, Salma Hayek, Linda Fiorentino, Genine Gerafolo, Jodie Foster...
There are others which make me go gay.
It's things like this that make me happy to be fluctuating constantly on a Kinsey 3 :D
Awesome post (and comments).
