The Crying Game (1992)

  Penis.

That's the big reveal here, folks.  I spoiled it for you.  My bad.  Now we can move on.

Jody (Forest Whitaker) is a British soldier who gets captured by the IRA at a carnival.  They plan to use him to trade for one of their imprisoned compatriots.  Until the deadline, Fergus (Stephen Rea) is assigned to guard Jody.  Being a hospitable sort, Fergus soon befriends the man, leading to a conflict of interest when his superior, Maguire (Adrian Dunbar), orders him to shoot Jody.  Things go badly and Fergus soon finds it's in his best interest to disappear for a while.  Feeling guilty, he heads to Jody's hometown to look in on his girlfriend Dil (Jaye Davidson).  Fergus finds himself drawn in, despite his misgivings.  But the IRA has not forgotten about him and sends his old girlfriend Jude (Miranda Richardson) to bring him in for one more job. 

Pretty much the only reason anyone talks about this movie is because of Dil and the aforementioned penis but I would like to think that we've all moved beyond that now, 20 years later.  I would like to think that it's more than a simple shock, that it has a greater message like "Love can open your mind to things you never imagined" but maybe not.
