Chasing Amy

Chasing Amy is a 1997 romantic comedy film about two comic book artists: Holden McNeil (Ben Affleck), a heterosexual male, and Alyssa Jones (Joey Lauren Adams), a lesbian. Written and directed by Kevin Smith, it chronicles how they fall in love and the difficulties they face. Holden's best friend and partner in comics is Banky Edwards, played by Jason Lee, who disapproves of the relationship.

The movie is notorious for having brought the sexual technique of fisting into the public consciousness, and was originally inspired by a brief scene from an early movie by a friend of Kevin's, Gwen Turner 's Go Fish , wherein one of the lesbian characters imagines her friends passing judgement on her for "selling out" by sleeping with a guy.
