"I literally walked out of the theatre saying – 'oh shit, I'm bi'."

Recently, we asked members of our Buzzfeed community which movie or TV show helped them realise they were bisexual. Here are some of the best responses:

1. Wonder Woman

Warner Bros. Pictures

"I’d been questioning for a while but watching Gal Gadot deflect bullets and jump out of buildings really clarified things for me."

— rebeccak4c613680b

"Seeing Gal Gadot and Chris Pine in all their glory; I literally walked out of the theatre saying – 'oh shit, I'm bi'."

— alexandrakblack

"When Gal came out of that trench in the costume with her hair down being a total badass, I definitely realised then I liked women."

— nikkiz

2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

The WB

"During season six, I realised I had the same feelings seeing Willow and Tara in bed together as I did Buffy and Spike."

— sunshine193

"Faith in Buffy – I simultaneously wanted to be her and be with her!"

— emmagemma

3. Merlin

BBC One

"I have always known I like men, but the thing that made me realise my undying love for women was Katie McGrath as Morgana Pendragon!"

— hufflepunktrash

4. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Universal Pictures

"When I was 10, I was deeply obsessed with Chris Evans as Lucas Lee in the movie, but the scene I replayed over and over was when Brie Larson as Envy Adams sang "Black Sheep" at a gig. I came out as bi five years later and realised just why I loved that scene so much."

— ninacap89

5. Thor: Ragnarok

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

"The scene where Tessa Thompson struts up the catwalk in her Valkyrie battle armour, fireworks in the background, hair flowing, ready to kick butt. I was so flustered it even distracted me from Chris Hemsworth and his dreamy arms!"

— katerumtruffle

6. Jennifer's Body

20th Century Fox

"I was already identifying myself as bi, but after watching this movie for the first time, I was sure like never before."

— pulaunicorn

"My confirming moment when Jennifer says 'I go both ways'."

8. Little Women

Sony Pictures Releasing

"Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Timothée Chalamet, and Florence Pugh – a beautiful movie with beautiful actors!"

— shawnmendesisthebest

9. The 100

The CW

"For some reason, when I first started questioning my sexuality growing up I thought, 'well I like boys, so I can't be a lesbian', and kind of put an end to it. That was until I started watching The 100 lol. I felt kind of funny towards Clarke, and then when she got with Lexa it all made sense! Yay for bi representation!"

— ampsincl96

"I will say that watching The 100 for the first time and instantly developing a crush on Raven, and eventually on Murphy, really helped to push me out of denial."

— human_being1757

10. The Mummy

Universal Pictures

"The Mummy and The Mummy Returns without a doubt shaped my sexuality way before I even realised it. '90s/'00s era Rachel Weisz (forever gorgeous) and Brendan Fraser – the greatest pairing anyone could dream of!"

— chmeesh

"Oh The Mummy for sure – Evelyn being all prim and proper with that accent and those clothes, Rick being all macho and hilarious. Yes please!"

— stacyl48c05d6f3

11. Scream

— valkyrie_77

13. Victorious

"Beck and Jade were such a sexy and self-assured couple and I don't know... there was something kind of queer about them too? I just loved them together but I also fancied them as individuals! (I was younger then lol)."

– yeahsurejan

14. Ocean’s 8

Warner Bros. Pictures

"Most of the movie left me feeling very sexually confused but also absolutely in love with Cate Blanchett."

— katerumtruffle

"I could admire a beautiful woman before I saw this film, but this was the first time I’d had... physical reactions. Thanks Cate!"

— stipyit

15. Doctor Who

BBC

"It wasn’t even that I fancied both leads, but seeing Captain Jack kiss both Rose and The Doctor in the exact same way gave me a real 'wait, you can do that?' moment."

— tristanoscars

16. Labyrinth

TriStar Pictures

"The totally biconic answer is Labyrinth. Did I want to be Sarah or Jareth? Did I want to be with Sarah or Jareth? Both. All of the above. Goblin king, take me away!"

— ruthr4f0723bfa

17. Avatar: The Last Airbender

Nickelodeon

"In hindsight, young me was very into both Katara and Zuko from ATLA, I just didn't realise it. I shipped them together, but I also shipped myself with each of them separately, and I also wanted to be both of them? It was a very complicated hypothetical love triangle."

— isabeldaly

18. Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones
