Different For Girls (a man falls in love with a post-op transsexual woman).
Rep for Different for Girls, which was the first one I thought of. Best thing Steven Mackintosh has done I think – very impressive and fearless. I was thinking about the BBC radio adaptation of Beck today, which starred Mackintosh, and how terrible it was – horrible pronunciations of the character names and very flat as a production.

I quite like Guinevere as another unconventional relationship (Stephen Rea has a nice line in lascivious photographers ). Le Bossu has an interesting one as well.

Butterfly Kiss and Close My Eyes are also worth looking at – two great Saskia Reeves roles there.

Truly, Madly, Deeply is another one.

Some good horror examples:
Possession
Orphan
Prey
Hellraiser
The Company of Wolves
May
Audition

Oh and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen has a funny one .



David Cronenberg's M Butterfly (1993) Jeremy Irons falls in love with a transvestite/transsexual, not bad, let down by John Lone who doesn't convince as a woman.
That is a strange one – I think the point was actually more that Irons' character was pretty much the only one who was fooled but maybe I dreamt that .



Along the lines of the Gene Wilder post above, and I certainly think the original poster was looking for that because of the word "interspecies", I have another one to add. But first, let's get it straight that Dr. Gene in the Woody flick stole Daisy the Sheep from that innocent shepherd Titos Vandis (you know, Father Karras's brother in The Exorcist).



Anyway, before Woody did his sheepish thang, there was this wacko movie about a farmer-type guy who had very little luck with females of his own species, so he decided to see if his pet pig Amanda would do right by him and married her. Sorry, I'm just the "Messenger".

When Gene Wilder died, this was very quickly in my thoughts, as was Stir Crazy.



A couple of relationships that came to mind when i saw the title of this thread and I was a little surprised they haven't been mentioned yet:

50 Shades of Gray- Based on a steamy best seller, this is the story of a wealthy playboy who is into rough sex who finds himself attracted to a virginal college student who actually signs a contract detailing what the man expects from her in this relationship before it becomes official...I liked this movie a lot more than most people around here,


The Kids Are All Right- This was the story of a brother and sister being raised by their lesbian mothers who decide they want to meet the sperm donor who made their existence a reality. I loved the relationship between the two moms because we had seen lesbians onscreen before, but this is the first time I had seen a lesbian couple who were more along the line of soccer moms...they work and they put the welfare of their kids above everything...they come home after work every day and have dinner with their kids and later go upstairs get in bed, and have sex while watching male gay porn.
