Off the top of my head, here's a few pics which feature men and women blurring the division between the sexes. Anyone have any favorites or others to add?

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
The Birdcage
Boys Don't Cry
Mrs. Doubtfire
Some Like It Hot
Victor/Victoria

One of my favorite quotes from John Waters is "Divine went from playing a drag queen to playing a middle-class housewife. If that's not acting, I don't know what is." http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif

JOHN WATERS IS THE MAN!!!
Has anyone seen Mondo Trasho?&gt;
That was his first flick.......Divine, and Mink Stole were both there....quite a bit of fun to see....
~~I think it was supposed to be this metaphor for the old sex symbols being replaced by the new gen. (like the Garb. to Monroe...) and how their values differ....well, at least I TRIED TO MAKE SOME SENSE OF IT!!!!
SPOILERS FOR MONDO TRASHO!!!!!!!!!
(not that it would matter to most people...sane people!!)


The first ten minutes is some "old stock-Like" footage (the movie was made on a budget of about twelve dollars.) of a chicken getting its head cut off.....no Dialogue whatsoever.....just some """""RE-MIXES""""" of some Lieber/Stoller songs, and Doo-wop stuff. ...and devine doing some really Crazy Stuff!!
