Your favorite "Gender Bending" movie.

[ARIES666]

From "Glen or Glenda" in 1953 to "Connie and Carla" in 2004, transgenderism, crossdressing, female impersonation has been featured on the "big screen". I checked my "Videohound" movie guide and found over 100 films in the "Gender Bender" category. Most seem to be comedies. What is your favorite movie in this category?

For me, "The Crying Game" is the best. Jaye Davidson was incredible in the role (nominated for an Oscar, I believe). The story was great. The message it sent was even better (Love conquers all).

In truth i haven't seen a lot of them, The first one i saw was on TV when i was very young it was Goodbye Charlie and i kept thinking lucky bastard and then i rember seeing Switch which i think was a remake on HBO and the other one was on the SCI-FI channel a few years back DR JEKLE and MRS HYDE i believe that was the title, So i haven't seen many Jennifer

Seed Of Chucky. Chucky's son/daughter has a gender crisis. Mix that with murder and Jennifer Tilly and you have an awsome film.

But that's only because I don't think I've ever seen anything else in the genre.

I actually didn't know that Gender Benders was its own movie genre. Curiouser and curiouser. I'm more familiar with Gay and Lesbian titles but I would imagine that some of these could, at a stretch, be considered gender benders. I did see and thoroughly enjoyed The Crying Game. I also loved Transformation, which is the subject of another thread on this forum. I have not seen Boys Don't Cry but I can't imagine a movie starring Hillary Swank being anything but but good.

There is a great movie guide that is put out every year called "Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever". It is published by "Thomson Gale". One of the sections in the guide consists of a category index which they call "Flicks That Flock Together". Under "Gender Benders" you will find movies like "Tootsie", "Some Like It Hot", "Pink Flamingos", "Adventures of Priscilla", etc, etc, etc.

Probably my favorite is "Ma Vie en Rose." "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" is also up there.

Someone needs to start making fan art of lois einhorn, she is the sexiest ts ever in a movie

[connie]

Of course Rocky Horror, and Hedwig, I also love Kinky Boots, it is also very good. Really liked Connie and Carla, sorry, not much on the serious side though.

Terror Firmer, classic Troma trash with a "gender bender" theme. The best is still The Crying Game, though. Rocky Horror is also a favorite, as is anything with Divine in it.

Out of all the movies mentioned, I have only seen The Crying Game and Rocky Horror Picture Show. I cannot recall much about The Crying Game as I watched it a looooong time ago. Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of my favourite movies. I have watched it numerous times, and I own both the DVD(and Shock Treatment, the "sequel") and the music soundtrack to it. What an awesome movie!

Ma Vie En Rose and The Crying Game are my fav's. I cried when I watched ma vie en rose and I think that when the crying game first came out, they had the greatest tag line for the movie. If I remeber correctly is was something like "She was the only man he ever loved". I know a lot of the girls here probably don't appreciate that line, but at the time it really got my attention.
