Know Your LGBT History - Bound

For my sisters - Bound (1996), an awesome film noir involving a lesbian couple (Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon) in a scheme to steal $2 million from the mob.

Incredible, uncompromising portrayals by Tilly and Gershon make this movie a classic. And yes, it has a happy ending (sorry folks, but if you have read this blog, you know how I stressed the importance of members of the lgbtq community seeing positive gay-theme movies with happy endings):

  1. The HOTNESS that is Bound knows no, um, . . . ;-)

    [Not one, but two, count 'em, TWO of the greatest lesbian sex scenes ever (feature) filmed! The second to toe-curling Big O!]

    Filled w/ classic lines, too:

    Violet, admiring Corky's butch Ms Fixit hands: "I bet your car is over 20 years old."

    Corky: "Truck."

    Violet: "Of course."


    Corky shaking hands on being intro'd to Joe Pantoliano (when we know Corky's hand has just been inside his wife! *LOL*)

    ...and then the classic ending line:

    "You know what the difference is between you and me?" "I can't think of a thing." {Getaway!}

    Well, as you can tell, I *LOVE* this movie!

    Thanks for giving Bound some props. :-)

  2. Have you seen "Get Your Stuff"?

    It's a cute movie about a couple who are asked to watch two brothers "just for one day". Then it's "one more day." Eventually, the men and the kids bond, and they become a happy family.

    "Get Your Stuff" on IMDB
