The 15 Loveliest Lady-Lady Love Scenes in Movies

Wild Things Columbia Pictures

Sometimes, two ladies make out with each other in major motion pictures. Other times, they not only make out with each other — they simulate sexual intercourse with each other.

9 Movie Moms We Wish Were Ours

Easy A
Sony

We love our mothers. We wouldn't be here without them. As the years tick by, we become grateful for all the stuff that Mom bugged us about at the time – eating our vegetables, not sitting too close to the television, wearing warm clothes, paying attention in school, etc.

He lost a wife to a horrible virus that caused victims to seize up and foam at the mouth ("Contagion"), he bought a zoo (uh, "We Bought a Zoo"), he talked a lot of trash about the Bourne franchise in GQ, and his long-awaited film "Margaret" caused a stir among fans and critics who fought the studio for a wider release.

Now Damon has revealed his first casting pick for his directorial debut, and it's a goodie. Frances McDormand, who won an Oscar for performance as a pregnant crime-solving cop in "Fargo," is the first official cast member in the currently unnamed project. Get More »
