I always have thought about this ...yeah there are many movies which says the problem and life of a LGBT community by why not a movie which just portrays a love story of a LGBT people ....like any other normal love story ......A happy ending feel good love story which has LGBT ppl as Hero/heroine...??!!! Why not a movie like this? or is it there?
Boy meets girl is the story of a beautiful transgender girl and her journey to find love. I highly recommend it
Homophobia is still alive and thriving in America. And it's assumed by many that we're all gay or in denial. The crying game, brokeback mountain, etc., there aren't a whole lot of men who want to go see ANYTHING that isn't straight. There is a market for it, but it's simply not enough for the big studios, otherwise someone would be making those movies. That's the beauty of the free market; if there's a demand for it, it will be made. So people who want LGBTQ media made, are in the same boat as crossdressers who want crossdresser/straight girl bars, clubs, and websites. There simply aren't enough people who want it, to support it.Quote:

Check out the web series "Her Story" with trans woman Jen Richards. On U tube.
Why not one wherein the hero/heroine is a spy or adventurer? :)
Yup that's what I meant ...a very normal love,action or any story with lgbt ppl as a lead .

If this is the case even with the super power US then I cannot imagine the status of LGBT ppl in country like India since we are so much conservative.
Boy meets girl is a great movie and the Trans girl in the movie is actually trans.
I recommend it highly.
Plenty of homophobes on this site as well.
Secrets of a good movie -
1) Bruce Willis / Brad Pitt (or Angelina Jolie)
2) big guns and lots of shooting
- story line not required :)
It would be especially neat if the heroine had to use some of her padding or accessories to fix a problem or make an escape. :)
Take a look for "Just Like a Woman". 1992. Adrian Pasdar and Julie Walters.

I recently watched Boy Meets Girl and Her Story and I enjoyed both of them. I highly recommend them.
A T friend of mine in LA recently completed such a movie. She wrote, produced, and appears in it. I believe it will be released soon. But, no idea if any one will pick it up to show. The majors certainly won't.:sad:
Please try to remember it's not their fault. We're a product of our life, and how we grew up usually is the strongest influence on that. There are some feelings (racial, for example) that we can get past, but when it involves ourselves, and how we fear others may judge us, it can hit a little too close to home and if you add in the confusion between straight and gay it can become very, very difficult to deal with. I was lucky to grow up in a rather liberal, open minded environment, close to a major city where pretty much everything is accepted and tolerated. Not everyone is so lucky.Quote:

Not as good as "Boy Meets Girl," but it is nice to see a movie that portrays crossdressers as real people who can love and be loved.
I own "Just Like a Woman". It meets all the criteria.Quote:

I got mine on eBay.
But, I don't think it has been released in the US.
In Mamma Mia, one of the four romances was gay.
The Danish Girl also leaps to mind.
Is it a genuine DVD from the studio or just a bootleg transfer of the VHS tape version to DVD? I have the VHS tape that I bought many years ago but I'd like a higher-definition version, Blu Ray preferably, but I doubt that will ever happen. DVD is about the best we can realistically expect.Quote:

All these movies some how has a LGBT themes ...what I meant is a normal love story which is apart from LGBT centric issues ...all the movie necessarily portrays or explains certain issues of LGBT community ..... my thought is something like a movie where "a man falls in love with a crossdresser(m2f/f2m)" or anything normal love story or any other story be it a spy story like Kate Simmons mentioned!!!
Just Like a Woman did indeed come out officially on DVD, both in the UK AND the US (I have the UK region 2 PAL version.) The official US region 1 NTSC version is very rare and was going for a serious amount of money. The region 2 DVD goes for about $25-30 right now, and some US sellers have it. Easy enough to play in the US with a little technical knowledge.
Momma Mia seems to fill the bill.Quote:
