Even by his own standards, David Lynch’s 2001 film is weird as hell. Supposedly, it was the pilot for an ABC series that Lynch later reworked but it’s hard to imagine any network able to use something so bizarre.
In her breakout role, Naomi Watts is Betty, a bright-eyed gal coming to Los Angeles to find fame and fortune. She runs into Rita (Laura Harring), an amnesiac who appeared to survive a murder attempt and is hiding out while trying to figure out what to do next. The two women are soon on a search for answers that leads to a murder and an ending that has confounded viewers ever since its release. But before that, we get the big addition to the theatrical version as a naked Harring comes to Watts in bed and soon joins her. It’s both funny (“Have you ever done this before?” “I can’t remember”) and romantic, Lynch shooting in nicely as they come together, two odd spirits uniting.
Another scene takes place in the strange finale that both actresses handle with slightly different personas but either way the image of the blonde and brunette going at it is a reason a movie so damn strange remains a must-watch.

A popular film with lesbian audiences, this 1999 drama features Karyn Dwyer as a single gal who connects with Christina Cox’s artist. The two soon gel together with a moment of covering their naked bodies in paint and rolling around on a canvas. Their first few attempts are blocked by comedic stuff like Cox’s trailer carted away but they finally do connect while at a club, stealing away to the ladies’ room for a hot encounter.
It’s a classic “sex in the restroom” scene with Cox nicely selling the ecstasy of Dwyer kissing her down and the realistic touch of women overhearing them and just smiling to enjoy the show. The rest of the film nicely showcases their growing relationship amid various issues that shows how nicely done that hot encounter is.
