Does Goodbye Charlie Count?
probably not, but, its still a good movie.

I actually really liked Transamerica. I don't like how the said being trans was a lifestyle but other than that it was pretty good.

Not specifically a tg movie, but a good movie...

A dog day afternoon, 1975, based on a true story of John Wojstowicz robbery of the Chase Manhattan bank in 1972, the robbery was committed to pay for his partner Elizabeth Eden's, SRS, which, he succeeded in doing so when sold the rights to the film.

Orlando (by Virginia Woolf), both the movie and book were truly brilliant.

I also liked many of the others folks have mentioned, especially XXY, Beautiful Boxer and Priscilla.

Favourite? I don't think I can call one favourite, maybe important is a better term.

This site and its many members do a very good job in patiently providing information and help on this subject, also by reccomending movies. You have moved me to find some of the movies and so far I have been able to watch "Different for Girls", "A Girl like me" and today "Soldier's Girl". Especially the last mentioned has struck me and left me in some sort of daze. I did not know the ending when I started watching it this afternoon. Normally when watching a movie with a bad ending I am comforted by the idea that it was just a piece born from the directors imagination. But this was no fantasy as proved by the widows website: it happened and still happens.
This movie outrages and saddens. The fake happyness of of movies as "Different for Girls" cannot neutralize the real horror that is written in blood.

Todays questions are once again why people cannot appreciate life in all its diversity, and why I did not see it so clearly untill a person stepped into my life to show me?

The best movie that hasn't been made yet is:

The first 20mins is trans related...going through the change etc etc.... and then the rest of the film is just adventures and normal day to day stuff....yet interesting, but very much typical stuff. Just to show people that being trans is such a small part of our lives and then we move on and live like everyone else.

Trans america.  Don't know why.... I just liked that movie.  =)

Bella Maddo looks hilarious  -- all trans cast incl the elderly and children

Different for girls -- world class comedy =D

I really liked The Crying Game... I thought that Jaye Davidson's portrayal of Dil was excellent.

I live in the US, and The Crying Game hadn't been released or marketed extensively here yet when I saw it in . I didn't know anything about it, I just happened to see it at a small artsy theatre that screened import films. So, I saw it knowing nothing of the film, at all... and I thought it was truly extraordinary. I didn't clock Dil as TS at all... until it was revealed in the film.

XXY was the same, I saw it screened at Facets in Chicago, knowing nothing about it. Another wonderful film.

I seem to get the most enjoyment out of films if I know nothing about them beforehand.

Ma Vie En Rose - I loved the imagery in that movie! But more for the fact that it reminded me so much of my childhood. There was a film I watched in the early 80's about a soldier that transitioned can't remember the name of the film, but it stuck in my memory - tried googling for it but could never find it!

some like it hot, lack lemon, tony curtis, marylin monroe. Not tg but has some interesting gender themes and of course its a classic ;)

I just watched Different For Girls and I have to say I really liked it.

I particularly love the part where Paul is going through Kim's things and finds her hormones and dilator.  :laugh:

I'm not sure if this counts, but I saw Connie & Carla a couple of nights ago, lots of crossdressing in this movie.

Being from Australia my fave would have to be Priscilla Queen of the Desert.

But I might change my mind in a couple of weeks.

She had been acting professionally for 9 years up to that point, lots of TV series stuff - including a bunch of 90210 episodes.
