Ed Wood’s Glen or Glenda
The classic bad film is available in full on Youtube. If you aren’t familiar with Ed Wood, he is a film director from the 50′s and 60′s whose films are recognized for their universal suckiness. Johnny Depp played him in a recent popular movie. The suckiness is actually quite entertaining. The plot to Glen or Glenda:
Upon discovering the suicide of a known transvestite, the police inspector seeks enlightenment from a psychiatrist familiar with the phenomenom. The psychiatrist tells him two tales. Glen is to be married to Barbara, but must find a way to tell her of his desire to wear her angora sweater, and of his cross-dressing needs in general. Another is the story of Alan, who decides to physically become a female via surgery (based on the contemporary story of Christine Jorgensen). Throughout the film a scientist inanely babbles about life and death in order to somehow elucidate the story.
