Bisexuality is more visible on screen than ever before, so it’s high time we highlight the best bisexual movies you can find on streaming platforms. After all, what better way to Netflix and chill with your HER date than with these movies featuring bisexual characters? So before you spend hours deciding on what to watch together, look no further for a list of bisexual movies to watch on Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, and more.
Bisexual representation still has a long way to go, especially in movies. Unfortunately, many films fall prey to stereotyping when they feature bisexual characters.
Some of the films we highlight do a better job than others in portraying bisexuality without contributing to biphobic tropes, and we’re definitely a fan of movies that make an active effort to crush biphobia. So keep that in mind as you dive into these titles!

Before sharing our list, it’s worth actually giving a definition of what we mean by bi movies. What are the criteria, considering the goal of authentic, nuanced conversations about bisexuality?
This list of bisexual movies consists of:
Without further ado, here are 27 bisexual movies to watch on Netflix, Hulu, and beyond!
LGBT+ movies are very dramatic a lot of the time, whether it’s because it’s a coming-out story, internal conflict, or external conflict. Sometimes the drama has nothing to do with sexuality at all – which is a breath of fresh air! Scroll for some iconic bi drama films that have all kinds of conflict.
Disobedience follows the story of a bisexual woman (Rachel Weisz) who returns to her Orthodox Jewish community and rekindles a relationship with her childhood friend (Rachel McAdams). Together, they navigate the judging eyes of family and community members.

Vampire movies are pretty much a genre in their own right. But one thing vampire movies know how to do is drama. This film, starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, is based on the novel by Anne Rice, which tells the story of a vampire, Louis de Pointe du Lac, who recounts his life to a mortal reporter.
Opposite Louis is Lestat de Lioncourt, the histrionic vampire who is also bisexual in all senses of the word in the original novels, but the movie only hints at the homoerotic nature of the two main characters. You’re in luck, though, because the 2022 TV reboot series Interview with the Vampire on AMC is a lot less shy about showing the real queer nature of the story – and is also a blast to watch.
Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles, the 1994 film, is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.

Charlize Theron plays an overworked mother of three, including a newborn baby, who happens to be bisexual and embarks on a complicated and heartwarming relationship with her night nurse, Tully, in this comedy-drama. It’s a down-to-earth and charming look into a woman who just needs a break.
The film’s comedic timing and tone is reminiscent of Juno, which is no surprise since it comes from the same director and screenwriter, Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody, respectively. It also stars MacKenzie Davis, who plays Tully and has been a bi fave since the “San Junipero” episode from Black Mirror, so why not see her work in this film?

Okay, Spider-Man has never been confirmed as bisexual in any iteration. But fans and the Amazing Spider-Man himself have asked the question, “why can’t Spider-Man be bisexual?” Andrew Garfield asked this question in a since-removed interview with Entertainment Weekly, but the internet is forever, and we’re still talking about the interview years later.
I like to rewatch The Amazing Spider–Man knowing that Garfield is an ally to the bis, even after the fallout of the interview. Sometimes, you take whatever you can get, which shows how much further bi representation has to tread on the big screen.
