What's the best tranny movie you guys saw?

[Heather Moorland]

Well obviously I don't mean porn. :yayo: I was reading the other tread about the latesd movie people saw an people are talking about just any kind of movies. I guess thats fine bu why not relate it to the subject of this site?

Ok I think thats transpeople/shemales (what ever) is misrepresented and under represended in mainstream movies and limited to fringes movies. Not that these are not good, but they dont reach a wider audience. And ofcause there is the general problem with hollywood that they don show sex senes because they dont want to offend the evangeligcals.
Well ofcause there was Ed Wood and "Some like it hot" witch was actually quite daring for its time.. But anyway .. (excuse me I have been drinking Charles House scotch and Redbull. Ugly combination) Well anyway is there any tranny movies out there that has made an impression on you (apart from strict porn)?????

I don't even know if I would say it's a good film but it reminded me of my childhood

[betts]

never seen any

[Dino Velvet]

"The Badge" with Billy Bob Thornton was pretty good.

[robertlouis]

Apocalypse Now.


What?

[Jackal]

The Crying Game was just a good overall movie, although it became remembered just for the twist ending.

[robertlouis]

Kinky Boots, recent British film based on a true story about a failing shoe factory which went over to making boots for transsexuals and drag artists.

[BraveHeartz]

Iron Ladies

Thai comedy about a trans volleyball team, loosely based on a real team and events.

[theone1982]

To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar.

[Dino Velvet]

Steven Seagal beat the crap out of a villainous Thai Ladyboy in Belly Of The Beast.

YESSSSSSSSSS! I saw this movie a couple years back! I really enjoyed it!:wiggle::wiggle::wiggle:
ROBBIE YOU HAVE GOOD TASTE!

[Prospero]

Estrella - Greek drama. Not released in the UK sadly, but various transexual friends who I lent a DVD t loved it.

[Stavros]

Mascara
Not available on dvd, primarily a Dutch film it features Eva Robins, Romy Haag and some extras -the story isn't up to much, Michael Sarrazin plays a detective who is also a serial killer; he has a secret life: an affair with Robins, a strong attraction to transexuals etc -Robins was also in Dario Argento's Tenebrae which is still watchable for her scenes. She is simply one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.

I thought The Crying Game was rubbish- do men really vomit when they realise 'she isn't a girl' after all!?? Such a weak scene; the concept of a British soldier (played by an American) being kidnapped in Northern Ireland was daft, the whole IRA thing was daft, the whole film was daft. And so on. Ok Gaye was cute, but other than that, no.

Thanks, umm, I don't know what to call you, and "Cunty" doesn't seem right somehow. Anyway, you're a welcome, and very pretty, addition to the madhouse.

Whatever, the factory where the story originated is about 20 miles from me and still going strong, so if any of the larger ladies on HA need some robust but still sexy footwear, contact W J Brooks in Earls Barton, Northants, England!

[robertlouis]

Oh yes, there's also Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, very funny Australian movie.

[EyeCumInPiece]

Sleepaway camp

[Prospero]

and La Cages aux Folles - the original French film I think scrapes in here... it was hugely funny anyway

[robertlouis]

Yes, and the crude US remake and the even more execrable musical took out all the elements of what was at base a rather touching and charming love story.

[Prospero]

But was it actually about Transvestites? I can't recall at this distance.

[robertlouis]

Well, there was certainly plenty of dragging up.

[Stavros]

Has anyone seen Cassavetes's Love Streams? I think there is a scene in a club with a lot of tv/ts, I think either Vegas or Los Angeles.

[yodajazz]

Sleepaway camp
I remebered seeing the original. But I always wondered if they used a a girl to play the main part, with a prosetic penis, at the end, or if it was a stand-in, etc?

I think the best movie I saw was "Different for Girls". They had a male play the part of the transexual, and the person was portrayed sensitively.

[robertlouis]

Anyone else seen Breakfast on Pluto starring Cillian Murphy as a young Irish transsexual during the troubles? That's as close as any resemblance to The Crying Game goes. It's a good if not great movie and Murphy is totally convincing in the lead.

[theone1982]

How about the movie Boys Don't Cry?

[NatashaLover]

what is a tranny?

I like Boys will be Girls part 2

[Jericho]

Different for Girls is worth a watch if you've not seen it.

I thought Breakfast on Pluto was poor... but just remembered the film Transamerica which was good...

Yes, it was excellent, and the lady from Desperate Housewives was a revelation as the transsexual lead.

[alpha2117]

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. It had a decent portrayal of a transexual character who was actually a normal decent human being. It's based a fair bit on Carlotta, Carole is the most lovely woman who managed to cross over to the mainstream back in the early 70's.

I agree, I loved this movie. :)

[needsum]

Does The Birdcage count? Really more of a drag-queen thing but very very funny and well done, didn't desparage the scene and actually painted a good light on all of it. Also I recently saw Ticked Off Trannies with Knives. Loved it!

The Birdcage was a crude knockoff of a far better French film, La Cage aux Folles, which has already been mentioned here.

Why the fuck the American public don't take to the far superior French originals and then flock to see piss-poor Hollywood remakes is beyond me.

[Prospero]

They're did the same with The Killing - which was a remake of the better danish TV drama.

Too lazy, or illiterate, to read subtitles.....

BTW, I watched the first episodes of the US remake of The Killing, and thought it was pretty good, but sadly entirely unnecessary.

[Prospero]

I saw the first and yes - thinner than the original and less good, but if you've not got access to The killing in Danish better than many other things of its ilk.

Yes - even the jumper looks less bulky! :)

I'm told she changes it occasionally - which Sarah Lund never did

[robertlouis]

Myra Breckinridge

Good film, if flawed, but not as good as the book. Nobody has, or ever could, make a truly satisfying movie out of Gore Vidal's deliciously waspish prose, but it was a bold step to make what purports to be a mainstream movie on this theme back in 1970.

It also asks you to believe that Raquel Welch is a transsexual.....
