I also came in to mention the volleyball scene in Top Gun, wherein Tom Cruise checks the time by flexing all his arm muscles.
The Mos Eisley Cantina scene from Star Wars IV?
Interstellar Gayness!
And pretty much the whole of the recent TV Spartacus.
The pilot talking to the little boy in the, uh, cockpit in Airplane!
Batman and Robin with nipples on their suits in the George Clooney Batman movie.
I was surprised that the scene linked to from “5000 Fingers…” was that dance number. I don’t find that scene gay at all. Unless you find any dance scene from any movie or musical performed exclusively by men to be ‘gay’.
Now “Do-Me-Doe Duds” is a different story:
Disclaimer: I’m not gay and “5000 Fingers…” is one of my favorite 50s movies.
The “squeal like a pig” scene in Deliverance.
That was a rape scene, not a gay scene. Homosexual rape isn’t “gay” in my opinion. The rapists in that movie would have happily raped any stranger they caught alone in the woods. They’d have raped a *real *pig. I never got the impression the rapists were gay. I doubt they even have a term for the concept.
On second thought, you’re right. I withdraw the nomination.
Jane Russell’s big number in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The song really ought to be called “Ain’t There Any Guy Here That’s Straight?”
I missed that in the film, though I remember it from the book.
Gonna have to watch that movie one more time.
Seconded. Especially considering it’s Jane Russell.
The scene in Casablanca in which Captain Renault is explaining to Ilsa that, “Well, Rick is the kind of man that…Well, if I were a woman, and I were not around, I should be in love with Rick.”. In fact, the character of Renault is generally as floppy as a fish, to the point that one suspects he was written that way intentionally.

Well, someone already suggested A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, but let me add my voice. I discovered its gayness when I wrote a review for it back in 2002 (as part of a review of the whole series). Here’s a list I made:[ul]
[li]The “hero” has the androgynous name “Jesse”.[/li][li]Jessie screams. A lot. At an unusually high pitch.[/li][li]In one of the first scenes, Jesse’s good friend Grady pulls Jesse’s pants down during a baseball game. Naked man-ass shot number 1.[/li][li]Because of that, their coach orders them to do push-ups. Exact words, “Assume the position.”[/li][li]Lest you think I’m grasping at straws with the above, Grady and Jesse then discuss whether the coach is gay.[/li][li]An “unpacking montage” with Jesse, including close-ups of him butt-bumping drawers closed and doing a “yankin’ my crank” movement.[/li][li]Dialogue: “Grady, do you remember your dreams?” “Only the wet ones.”[/li][li]Jesse sneaks out at night, looks for a bar, and ends up at a gay club. And guess what, the coach is there![/li][li]Coach makes Jesse run laps and shower. This leads into Coach’s death scene, which includes Coach being tied up with jump ropes, stripped naked, and his ass snapped with towels. Naked man-ass shot number 2. Total number of boobs in the movie, by the way, is zero.[/li][li]More close-ups of Jesse’s crotch in his underwear.[/li][li]A freaked-out Jesse runs away from his girlfriend to Grady’s house. Dialogue: “Something is trying to get inside my body.” “Yeah, she’s female and she’s waiting for you in the cabana. And you wanna sleep with me.” Grady then agrees to watch Jesse sleep.[/li][li]Then there’s more gibbering and crying and stuff until the very chaste ending.[/li][/ul]
The director apparently didn’t even like horror movies, which is pretty clear from the finished product; established horror conventions are ignored in favor of shots of bare man-ass and teenage boys in their underwear.
If you’re looking for a single scene, I’m gonna go with the coach being stripped in the shower and getting his bare ass snapped with towels. That doesn’t belong in any mainstream movie, much less a horror movie.
Heh, look what I found on Youtube. Now I’ll have to see if I can track down a good coach scene.
I don’t remember having seen that movie. Seems like I would have eventually, but it doesn’t ring a bell.
The fraternity initiation/spanking scene in Animal House.
The tux-clad dancers led by Dom DeLuise in Blazing Saddles.
All of Roger DeBris’s and Carmen Ghia’s scenes in The Producers.
I think Kelly McGillis was the only person in that movie who liked girls.
I’m pretty straight but Commando leaves me confused for up to 24 hours after each viewing.
There’s a movie from the late 40’s entitled Brute Force which I saw a couple of years ago. It’s a flick about a brutal, abusive prison headed by a brutal, abusive warden. The warden is played by Hume Cronyn, and a couple of scenes distinctly imply that he’s getting a sexual thrill out of tying up and torturing the prisoners. It’s unusually explicit for a movie of its time, and Hume Cronyn was most convincing in his role as depraved sadist.
I laughed.
Oh come on, lilac and pink boxing gloves? The limp wristed xylophone performance? This is the 50’s, remember, with stereotypes a-poppin’.
