Wouldn’t classic movies like A League of Their Own, Dangerous Liaisons and Thelma and Louise have been infinitely more satisfying if there were just one lesbian character among them? With our post from earlier this year, 10 TV Shows We Can’t Believe Don’t Have Gay Characters, as a springboard, we’ve reimagined 15 now classic movies using Gina Gershon’s super-smoldering Corky from Bound as the gold standard of cinematic lesbian characters.

This week’s episode of The Real L Word, those lovable lesbians of Weho, takes us to the halfway point of the second season, which is either good news or bad news depending on which side of the polarizing line you fall. This week Cori and Kacy get sperminated, Whitney makes a dildo mold from her guy friend's "dong," Romi goes to Vegas and Sajdah talks lesbian sex and scissoring with her mom.

It's the holiday film season, which means Oscar bait! Here's a round up of films that feature strong female roles, just plain amazing actresses, groundbreaking female directors and at least two films with lesbian under and overtones.

Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine, Kimberly Elise, Thandie Newton, Phylicia Rashad, Anika Noni Rose, Tessa Thompson, Kerry Washington, Whoopi Goldberg, and Macy Gray star. 

This week the pop-culture depraved duo prattle on about Ross' gay dreams involving Catherine Zeta-Jones and Ellen Degeneres, Tracy putting on her best lesbian and bowling with the cast of SVU, the Olympics' opening ceremony and k.d. Lang representing for the dykes. Plus, Emily Blunt's mouth, a musical theater diva / primetime television mash-up and a special section devoted to the hot trainwreck that is the new "We are the World," including Celine Dion, Barbara Streisand, Pink, Jennifer Hudson, Fergie and more!

In honor of the gay community's high holy night, Halloween, SheWired has compiled a list of the Top 10 Scary Movies to Make the Gay Girls Scream  to add to your queue of female-fronted thrillers-and whether they're supernatural beings or the product of a nasty virus, we've got everything covered from werewolves and vampires to zombies, demons and ghosts.
