Hi there! I just surf in da internet, and get interesting list of transgender movies. All of them are in the IMDB, so you can find them!

Soap, En (2006) Tranny slice-of-life movie. Touching love between a transsexual woman and a genetic woman both floundering and helping each other.

Transamerica (2005)
Feliclity Huffman gives an Oscar-worthy performance of a transwoman reconciling her past on the eve of her final surgery.

Wild Side (2004)
Transsexual actor Stéphanie Michelini gives an extremely intimate portrayal of some of the joys and difficulties of being transgendered.

Beautiful Boxer (2003) True story of the public transition of a Thai boxer.
Normal (2003) Reasonably realistic story of a man transitioning within marriage.

Badge, The (2002)
Mysterious death of a transsexual woman. Somewhat educational look at what it means to be transgendered in America.

Cockettes, The (2002) Good documentary on a early San Francisco drag phenomenon.

Venus Boyz (2002) A fascinating glimpse into the worlds of drag kings and female-to-male transsexuals.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001) By far my favorite TG movie

Princesa (2001) Extremely realistic look at the life of a typical transsexual sex worker. Respectfully shows that being non-op is an acceptable choice.

Southern Comfort (2001) Excellent documentary on transsexual lives and relationships featuring a beautiful relationship between an MTF and a FTM.

Wonder Boys (2000) Contains a transgender minor character as the girlfriend of the character played by Robert Downey Jr. Notable in that her TG status doesn't become an issue or a joke.

Better Than Chocolate (1999) Nice, little story with a transgender character who's just another character.

Boys Don't Cry (1999) Very big and excellent biography of FTM transgender Brandon Teena.

Flawless (1999) Realistic story underscores the common humanity of a drag queen as discovered by a redneck character played by Robert DeNiro.

All About My Mother (Todo sobre mi madre) (1999) Just a fun movie involving a family member who has transitioned.

Ma vie en rose (1997) A touching story about a feminine boy who resists societal conditioning to be masculine.

Different for Girls (1996) A story of deep friendship.

To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar (1995) Drag queen road movie. Not very deep but who can resist watching Wesley Snipes and Patrick Swayze in drag!


Wigstock: The Movie (1995)
Penetrating documentary into the lives of drag queens.

Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, The (1994) A classic road movie with non-classic travelers.

M. Butterfly (1993) An amazingly good film.

Crying Game, The (1992) Love among the trannies.

Just Like a Woman (1992) Realistic look at some of the personal problems experienced by transgenders.

Orlando (1992) A rather boring movie IMHO, but main character experiences life from both sides and is therefore notable.

Prelude to a Kiss (1992)
Another movie where people experience life from both sides, but this one is fun, sensitive, and romantic.

Switch (1991) A remake of Goodbye Charlie. Very funny.

Rocky Horror Picture Show, The (1975) Classic cult rock musical. Completely replaced by Hedwig (IMO) but lots of fun and great music.

I Want What I Want (1972) A very early look at the subject of sex-change. Poor movie and completely unrealistic but interesting historically.

Myra Breckinridge (1970)
Main character changes her sex to exact revenge. Movie techniques are far ahead of their time.

Goodbye Charlie (1964) Another died-and-sent-back-to-earth-fix-mistakes movie but with a twist: He's got to do it in a woman's body.

Also, here are the list of transgender charachters in film and television - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transgender_characters_in_film_and_television

The Cockettes This wonderful documentary is really fascinating. Truly touching. No tags, no need to label GG, TV- TG- TS, just being what you are and getting to express yourself in total freedom. Highly Recommended.

Different for Girls, well... ok. Most of my friends like this one because of all the romance and drama; however it have always seemed to me like looking down the transgender condition, that is, the guy seems willing to do anything for money (including dating a ts woman), while the ts girl seems willing to do anything for love... (paying all the bills). Too bad.

Anyway, there are many tg-related films out there, it's nice to watch them with your partner, family or friends. It's always a good chance to come up with the topic.

There is a japanese tg film called "Close your eyes and hold me"... I think it does reflect a very interesting approach on love relationships among the tg persons.

Another good one from The Philippines: "Miguel Michelle"

And the interesting documentary "Ladyboys"

All the above available on youtube
