[Guest gwenthlian]

nope none ^^ but I liked Ma Vie en Rose and XXY was a beautiful film

[Carolyn Marie]

I saw Soldier's Girl and enjoyed it very much. I can't recall the name of the actor, but I

thought he did a wonderful job of portraying the transwoman.

I missed all of those but what about "The Crying Game", "Normal" or "TransAmerica"?

Or for something a little odd, "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" or "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar". (These are more about Drag Queens but show them as real people rather than just caricatures.)

Love ya,

Sally

Oh and another great film was Boys Don't Cry, true story about an FTM. Very harrowing yet very honest in it's portrayl of what life can be like.

Oh yes, I have seen Transamerica(great movie), ty, I can't belive I left that out!

I haven't seen any of those, but I've heard a lot about Soldier's girl. So I googled it to find out more. Lee Pace plays Calpernia and I found a lot of comments about transwomen being played by non-TG men, and these roles still going to actors outside the TG community. But it (the movie) sounds like it's exceptionally tragic, so I'm not sure I want to watch it.

I have recently seen a film called "Another Woman" and it is played by a transwoman--Nathalie Mann. It came out in 2002.

I seen "Too Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar", I thought it was great.

As for the rest I haven't seen them yet but plan to now that I know about them

I saw Soldier's Girl. It almost had me crying at the end (hey, I'm an emotional guy ) Wasn't it based on a true story or something?

Yes Soldier's Girl is a true story, I have the dvd & there are interveiws with the real Calpernia & the real soldier's parents in the bonus material. The last singing performance of Calpernia in the movie interlaced with the brutal murder is just incredibly beautiful & moving! Even if you seperated that performance from the movie entirely, it will move you to tears!

I do recommend "Another Woman", it is about a doctor who goes to Africa, disappears leaving her wife and two children to wonder what happened to him, it deals with life after srs, being stealth and having to out yourself in order to have contact with your children again. This movie is a foreign language film and has sub titles.

Ma vie en rose maeks me cry! Everytime when it gets to the part where she tries to kill herself the parents say she can have anything, she wants to wear a skirt and they get peed at her right after she pit herself in the freezer! OMG! :'(

it is a good movie tho!

Surprised no one has mentioned 'A Girl Like Me - The Gwen Araujo Story' which airs occasionally on Lifetime.

I really enjoyed and appreciated 'Ma Vie En Rose'. Poor Ludovic, so certain that any moment, God was going to correct this huge mistake played on her by replacing her male body with the female body she knew was hers by birthright.

[Guest Sophie Jean]

A really must add Rent. All the characters are named according to the role they play in the plot. The character who is the group's saving grace is named appropriately "Angel," and is very definitely transgendered. Make sure you have a full box of tissues, because the movie does very seriously tug at the heart strings.

[Guest Tammy Maher]

I guess the one I'd throw in is Transgeneration about Transgender college students.

[Guest Kacee]

I've seen some of the movies y'all named. My addition is not a perfect fit to the topic, but in the ballpark. I absolutely loved "Holiday Heart" Ving Rhames is an amazing actor!!

Love Kacee

[Guest Tiffany Amber]

I need to see all of these however, here is a good one I seen on Showtime. Zerophilia it can also be found on Amazon.

I'm a big fan of Hedwig and the Angry Inch (both play and film) and both the book and film The World According To Garp (more the book, though...I read it when I was 11 and it was the first time I had ever heard of a transsexual and I just knew...)

[Shannonline]

I have a lot of related movies so If anyones on soulseek pm me

My currrent fav is an english movie 'different for girls', it's about starting life post-op and dealing with relationships for the first time.. really good!!

i have to omit red without blue, really gave me a powerful feeling bitter sweet

[Guest Isobelle Fox]

I recently caught Breakfast on Pluto, and so far its easily my favorite of the trans related movies I've seen. It doesn't do much to "educate" you about the condition as it just kind of happens that the main character, Saint Kitten as she likes to be called, is transgendered.

What I liked about it was the spirit of the movie. Its a bit of an epic in its own way, and its full of drama, adventure, mystery and good humor. Unlike so many T dramas, it left me smiling and feeling uplifted. I was pretty surprised by it, honestly.

[Guest Nikki A]

i've only seen ma vie en rose, which made me cry! nearly the entire dang movie is the parents in denile and stuff towards this little girl! i broke down around the suicide attempt scene!!

hugs, Nikki

lol, i already posted here and forgot! sorry everyone for taking up space!

hugs, Nikki

(looks like i dropped the z for an s in hugs somewhere along the lines XD)

[Guest Isobelle Fox]

Oh, and personally I would add the vampire film Let the Right One In to this category as well. Other people have had other interpretations, but its pretty easy to see it that story in this context. Its a brilliant movie and kind of a twisted but beautiful love story too. I really liked it.
