No homo, though.
Bend It Like Beckham (2002)
Rumor has it that Jess and Jules were actually supposed to end up together, but at the last second, the filmmakers shied away from a lesbian storyline. What we're left with is a nearly perfect film in which two women are SO OBVIOUSLY SUPPOSED TO GET IT ON, BUT DON'T. Their chemistry is palpable and we're supposed to believe they're both into their dude coach?? Please.
All the jokes about Keira Knightley's mom assuming she's a lesbian because she's ~sporty~ don't help matters, either. Every time Keira's character emphatically insists she's not gay, somewhere in the world a lesbian dies.
