We know finding bisexual male characters in TV shows can be pretty hard to do, but finding bi guys in movies can also be extremely difficult. Sometimes characters who might be bisexual are largely marketed as gay, while other characters fall into harmful stereotypes.
These 10 movies aren’t always perfect representations of bisexuality, but they do feature three-dimensional bi guys as major characters...
This semi-sequel, semi-remake of the iconic Wiccan '90s fave, The Craft: Legacy may not live up to the original's charm but there is one aspect that this film got right, its surprise bisexual character. While normally we don't love someone's sexuality being treated like a big twist, it's done so sweetly and so powerfully here, we are happy to make an exception.
When the girls join forces to cast a spell on the class bully Timmy (Red, White & Royal Blue's Nicholas Galitzine) they end up entering into a heartfelt friendship with the reformed troll, who one night opens up in a moving monologue about his bisexuality, and his struggles with his identity. It's heartfelt and beautifully real.

Sunday Bloody Sunday was a groundbreaking 1971 British drama that follows a middle-aged doctor, Daniel Hirsh, and a woman in her 30s, Alex Greville, who are both involved in a love triangle with bisexual artist Bob Elkin. John Schlesinger’s previous film, Midnight Cowboy, portrayed a character struggling with his sexual orientation, but the characters in Sunday Bloody Sunday are relatively well-adjusted and successful.

For some reason, Michael Chabon’s novels are never really that well adapted for film. The Mysteries of Pittsburgh movie isn’t nearly as good as the book, but there are two bisexual characters in the film—Art and Cleveland (though Cleveland was straight in the book)—so if you just want to watch a movie where there’s actually more than one bi guy, it’s worth streaming.

Love Songs (Les Chansons d’amour) is a moody French musical directed by Christophe Honoré with music by Alex Beaupain, and basically everyone is bisexual.

Spoilers ahead!
When Julie suddenly dies, Alice and Ismaël are left to grieve, and eventually, move on with new partners. Ismaël is still grieving, but when he meets Erwann, the fog starts to lift.
