Your favorite "Gender Bending" movie.

I remember one movie I saw when I was younger but I can't remember the name. All I can remember is this scene where the main characters is standing in front of mirror naked and says "I'm still the same person, just a different sex".

Yes, "Dressed to Kill" WAS a good movie! (I had completely forgotten about it)
I remember seeing it a long time ago and thinking it was a great movie.
Hmmm, maybe that explains a few things...

Also "Ed Wood" is a GREAT movie! One of my favorites.

I'd have to go with "Some Like It Hot." It is the only gender-bending film that also happens to be among the greatest movies ever made, irrespective of theme or genre, and it may be the finest comedy (or at least one of the two or three finest) of all time.

Perhaps it would have been better to have a thread such as "Gender-Bending Moments OnThe Big Screen".

Rememeber Marlon Brando in "The Missouri Breaks". A oddball western with Marlon as a hired gunslinger. There is a classic scene of him dressed as a "grannie"...guns and all!

And, Anthony Perkins in "Psycho" is great fun (and scary)

Some people liked Wilem Defoe in "Boondock Saints."

I would have to say the spanish film, Bad Education, staring Gael García Bernal who makes one beautiful woman. Or Hedwig and the Angry Inch, punk rock musical that puts Rocky Horror to shame.

I'm not so big on "gender bending" moves but I have liked some of the,

Priscilla Queen of the Desert
Victor/Victoria
spring to mind. My issue is, often Hollywood just gets stuff so very wrong.

One movie I absolutely LOVE and recommend HIGHLY is Paris is Burning. It's a documentary, so not really "gender bending" exactly.

I also liked The Crying Game for everything EXCEPT the Trans* story line. It was played for shock, the reaction of the guy once he discovered the "dirty secret" was to hit her and vomit, her ex BF was in a dream sequence laughing at the main character after the discovery. The parts about racism in Ireland, the IRA/UK conflict, English classism were all well done.
