List creator: dwhudson Created on: April 29, 2002 - 2:54 PM PDT Description: Not two rivals and an object; not a couple with tolerated lover. 3 people who decide to give it an honest shot. It works in Gloomy Sunday, Heart Beat and Lucky Lady.

	Jules and Jim (1962)			Not Rated
The ur-threesome, but only briefly. Then, it's Rival City. Note that it's not called Jules, Jim et Catherine. Mazursky riffed on J&J in Willie & Phil.
	Threesome (1994)
A sexual identity circus that falls way short of, say, Chasing Amy. Neither really count, so only one's here.
	Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
Very strong suggestion here that Butch and Sundance are sharing Etta Place; and that it's ok. With all three.
	Henry & June (1990)
More groping than loving here, but the experiment lasts longer than it does in most movies.
	Cabaret (1972)
They're drunk, they swirl over the dance floor. Smiles and kisses all around. Then, the morning after.
	Carrington (1995)
Another one in which it works for a while... then, not.
	Bandits (2001)
Hey, it works! Too bad the movie's not the greatest. BB Thorton is fun, though.
