I am ashamed that we still live in a time when people are killed and beaten to death because of who they are or who they may love. This cannot continue to happen. these movies changed my view upon gay and trans-genders forever, your welcome to add your list here as well.
1. Soldier's girl (2003)
2. Beautiful Boxer (2003)
3. Brokeback Mountain (2005)
Surprised you don't have "Different For Girls" on your trans list??
Homophobia will continue to happen as long as ignorant dinosaurs rein and keep spawning children. With a human like chimp running our country (US) and the Religious Reich close in behind him, don't tell me "This cannot continue to happen". It's nice sentiment, but it's also 'Fool's Paradise'.

"It's good that you overcame your past views on gays and transsexuals and that you are now accepting of them.
My list of favorite trans movies:
1. Boys Don't Cry
2. Ma Vie en Rose
3. Hedwig and the Angry Inch
4. Different For Girls
5. Normal
6. Gendernauts
My list of favorite gay movies:
1. Better Than Chocolate(there's a MTF transsexual in this movie, but the movie itself is more about lesbians)
2. Beautiful Thing
3. Get Real
4. The Truth About Jane
5. But I'm a Cheerleader "
I have not seen Normal or Gendernauts as of yet. All the rest I have seen....I have a huge list of gay movies if you're interesed. You should at least add/see Edge of Seventeen, L.I.E. and The Mudge Boy.
I think my favorite trans movie is Myra Breckinridge because Raquel Welch is incredibly beautiful playing a transsexual; even when she's sodomizing a guy tied-up/bent over a doctor's exam table.
Also, the movie Outrageous was really good, too!
"Soldier's Girl" is certainly one of the best films in it's catagory. It took me ages to find it, as I live in the U.K. and the movie has never been shown here on Television at all, and has never had a VHS or DVD release. SOOOO glad I finally have this wonderful film in my collection!
Here are the others I personally found to be really good:
Different For Girls (1996)
Normal (2003)
Boys Don't Cry (1999)
But I'm A Cheerleader (1999)
The Birdcage (1996)
Cheers,
Shazza.
