The 16 Best Bisexual Movies You Need to See

It’s not easy to find a movie with bisexual characters. It’s even harder to find one that offers a positive and authentic depiction of bisexuality. All too often, when a film has bisexual or pansexual characters, they’re often depicted as greedy villains. This is because sexual fluidity is equated to moral fluidity, notes The Washington Post. If bi folks aren’t depicted as evil, then often they’re the butt of a joke that insinuates bisexuality is merely a phase.

This sucks for bi people. We want to see stories where we’re represented in a real and positive manner. In our day to day lives, we experience so much biphobia, so seeing authentic depictions of bisexuality help us remember that we’re not alone—that there are other bi folks out there. It also helps us realize that it’s not all bad. Bisexual people, too, can have a happy ending and find the love of their lives.

In honor of #BiWeek, we’re celebrating films that have done a great (or at least reasonably decent) job at depicting bisexuality on the silver screen. Sure, not all of these films have a happy ending—Call Me By Your Name, in particular, left me left in tears. Nevertheless, all of them, including Behind the Candelabra, Imagine Me and You, and Chasing Amy, offers a more authentic and diverse depiction of how bisexuality manifests. After all, there’s no one right way to be bisexual.

With all that said, here are 16 movies that showcase bisexual identity.
