Yentl [Only THE BEST gender-bending film ever. This Barbra musical tells the story of an orthodox jewish girl who assumes the persona of a boy in order to study the Torah. Great moments I could relate to include hanging out with a group of guys who start to speak about women, being the only “boy” not to strip down and go skinny-dipping, etc.]

Mulan [more gender-bending fun!]

She’s the Man [I had to throw it in here!]
