Today I went to a movie with one of my friends and I went dressed. It was so much fun having a girls day. After the movie we got our nails done and went to Starbucks and now we are hanging out. My question though is are there any movies about crossdressing or that have cross dressing main characters?

Tootsie with Dustin Hoffman
Mrs. Doubtfire with Robin Williams
Some Like It Hot with Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis
Ed Wood with Johnny Depp
Charley's Aunt with Jack Benny
To name only a few.
Glen or Glenda, early 1950's.
Dallas Buyers Club
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar

They're drag queens rather than crossdressers, but one of my favorite movies is Too Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. I remember when it came out and I mentioned it to my martial arts instructor. He said he couldn't bring himself to watch it if it had Wesley Snipes and Patrick Swayze acting in drag.
I used it in a school paper about the concept of empathy as expressed in multiple artistic forms, along with an otherwise unrelated painting and a short story.

Transamerica. There is a U.K. movie that was really good, but I can't remember the title right now. I think you'll find more in the media forum!

Perhaps I am extremely lucky...
The ONLY CDing movie I have ever seen is 'The Crying Game'. I can't think of any better example of "never judge a book by it's cover". And with all the sex and violence most kids are able to/likely do see see these days...
I think it should be REQUIRED watching for all boys and girls over the age of 10. IF, you decide to rent or stream it, DO NOT do any research or read the trailers, because they will "ruin" the movie.
I somehow feel few others here have seen it for whatever reason...
I will tell you that Forest Whitaker is in it and I don't think he has ever been in a "bad" movie.
Silence of the Lambs ??? Kidding....kinda....
My favorite--- "Just Like a Woman" with Adrian Pasdar & Julie Walters
Genny the British movie you're thinking of is "Different for girls"
I found one called "Normal" from 2003 that seemed honest and very un-hollywood, I enjoyed and it did make the wheels turn a bit.
Kinky Boots ... I've lost count how many times I've watched it

Just Like a Woman. The best movie I have seen, perhaps the only movie I have ever seen that has a heterosexual crossdresser as the main character.Originally Posted by Genny B
Can't believe Rocky Horror hasn't been mentioned..
What about the Hot Chick? Technically NOT crossdressing based on the plot but since Rob Schneider is lead I guess it falls in the category..
Did I miss seeing this one posted - The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (Two drag queens and a transsexual travel across the desert to perform their unique style of cabaret).

This is a very comprehensive list: http://www.tgmovieguide.org/
'Kinky Boots' is a good one, though - more DQ than CD...
My thanks to the sadly absent Kate Haylette who first posted that link....

Rocky Horror comes to mind. Have never seen it though,
Where does M.A.S.H. fit? Klinger dressing as a woman to get a Section 8 probably had people thinking that you have to be nuts to dress as a woman...................................Hmmm! On the other hand there may be something in that (lol)

I remember going dressed to go see To Wong Foo. I think that was one of the very first movies I went to while dressed totally femme. Had GGs sitting in front of me that had no idea there was a CD sitting behind them while they were watching a movie about CDs/DQs. Been to many a movie since them while all dolled up.
Here, let me Google that for you..

"I'm a work in progress..."
Everyone has mentioned most of the movies, I do not think there are any current ones running.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
I believe any movie should be fine, rite?
What about Psycho? I haven't heard anyone mention that one.
Kaylyn, I guess you have timing, the night you posted this question, one of my local TV station showed both Shakspear in Love and The Bird Cage, and PBS ran Some Like it Hot. Algoma

Ticked Off Trannies With Knives. Watched 5min of it off of Netflix and couldn't take anymore. Transamerica was decent.
