The B.B.C.C. is when a Director finds it necessary to include their girlfriend (or wife) in almost every movie since a) they met, or b) one started to direct.
More than likely is that the actor/actress is a very accomplished. Although his/her career will be diminish in the wake of most cases of B.B.C.C.
Cases rarely involve a female director.
As seen in:
- Tim Burton films: Planet of the Apes (2001) to Sweeney Todd (2007)
- Rob Zombie films: House of 1000 Corpses (2003) to Halloween (2007)
The Uma Complication (or The U.C.)
Definition:
A rare strain of the B.B.C.C. where the director and actor/actress in question are not in any relationship whatsoever. Most case involve an old relationship between the two or an intense fondness, love, or lust for the actor/actress by the director.
For reference see:
- Quentin Tarantino movies with Uma Thurman
- Tim Burton movies with Johnny Depp
- Judd Apatow movies with everyone in Judd Apatow movies
- Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller movies
- Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson movies
- Wes Anderson and Ben Stiller movies
- Wes Anderson, Owen Wilson, and Bend Stiller movies

If you can think of anyone else I may have forgotten (which I know I have) feel free to tell me and I'll add them.
(I have nothing but respect for the Zombies and Tim Burton and Miss Bonham Carter. I just worry that over use by one single director will cheapen the career of such amazing actresses, and maybe take parts from actresses that might be more well suited for them.)

By the way, I just saw Sweeney Todd today. It was awesome!

Does the Tarantino/Uma Thurman combo count? I know they're not banging each other, but enough already.
Noted, and the definition has been amended.
I thought of another one...
The love triangle of Wes Anderson/Owen Wilson/Ben Stiller.
You are on fire! Added to the list...
