Good list.

I'd also add: "Torch Song Trilogy" with Anne Bancroft, Harvey Firestein and Matthew Broaderick.

And if we're all lucky, AdamSmith starring in the soon to be made "Geisha Girls gone wild." :7

Lke I said in the A-List thread, you would have to brace yourself for something more like "Frances Faye Gone to Seed." (She played the antique madame in "Pretty Baby" with La Shields.)

P.S. Gratuituous insult of the day -- This list is missing the films of Jamie Lee Curtis! :D

I did love Tourch Song Trilogy and that started my crush on Matthew. I think I saw Producers at least 10 times when he was in it. He really is adorable.

I am also hoping for a video clip of the Adam Smith scene. I may have yet another one to add to my list. ;)

I am looking over the list and noticed that the two I really enjoyed both were released in 1982 .. Tootsie and Victor/Victoria... maybe '82 was my drag phase ^_^ Anyway, I have seen both of those films over a dozen times each. I would even go as far to count Victor/Victoria in my all time top 20 favorite movies.

Thanks so much Four Aces! I've been trying to keep things fun and sexy for my readers even though I'm no longer in the adult industry.

Oz,

Clearly you get out more than I do. :D

My picks:

Priscilla was absolutely precious... but then I'm always a sucker for great music, even if there is great acting to go with it. ^_^

The Birdcage was hilarious. Hank Azria stold the show and Nathan Lane more than carried his own weight, girdled and all.

The Crying Game... a man driven to act against his nature and nurture in blood and lust. Marketed as a straight movie, it caused quite a stir at the time. Jaye Davidson also caused quite a stir as many were totally sucked into his 'act' until the meat fell. Later he cut a nice androgenous figure in Stargate before he fell off the edge of the Universe. A love tryst with the young James Spader would have rounded out nicely that Scifantasy.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch... few movies move me so much as to cause me to buy a copy, no other has moved me to buy it immediately after seeing it. Great movie with multiple levels of messages -- more art that entertainment IMO. Didn't hurt that I saw it in Vancouver with one my fav escorts.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show... Cult classic that trascended sexual... ummm, I mean transexual boundaries without a blink. The establishment was totally clueless as the children of the establishment participated in midnight celluloid origes around the country and Europe. Sedition doesn't get any sweeter or more sublime. :P

Tootsie... acting tour de force for Dustin, so it seemed at the time.

To Wong Foo... too many muscles. Didnt make the sale with me but those muscles in another setting, almost any other setting, would light my fire.
