Your friends who wear berets and refer constantly to ‘discourse’ may enjoy male actors dressing as women because it is a tangible sign of a desire for subverting societal norms and paradigms. It may also encourage genuflection, and possibly even revolution from the male-centric, phallus-ocracy which has brought the world to its knees. I, with my low I.Q. and political apathy, enjoy blokes dressed as women on a much more base level: it’s pretty funny, pretty interesting and in the case of the number one on this list, pretty damned sexy.

6. Harry Shearer in 'A Mighty Wind'
An amusing take on folk-music through the Christopher Guest prisom, with most of his favourite crew; only mildly amusing, but it holds one of the best jokes for last: that Shearer's baritone, bald, Aamish-Bearded man is actually a blonde woman on the inside. Made funnier both by his bandmates (who were also his bandmates in Spinal Tap) reaction, and the flirty smile he does after delivering a deep monologue during a song. A solid choice.
5. Matt Damon in ‘The Good Shepherd.’
Here everyone’s favourite blank canvas turns tranny for cash in a university production. Interesting only for how strange he looks as a woman, exacerbated by his deep voice and reticent attitude to the art of drag. A true ‘starters level’ drag actor, it would take a lot of beer and money for me to even consider it. The previous statement was a lie.

4. Dustin Hoffman in ‘Tootsie.’
Probably an obvious choice, but the original ‘The Hoff’ really captures the ‘mad aunt’ that we all manage to populate our lives with. Importantly, this perfectionist, fusspot would be a great deal less fun to live with than the ‘male’ character that the Hoffman plays, but a great deal more fun to go out for a drink with.

3. Paul Reubens, in ‘Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure.’
Reubens Herman character is an odd man-child anyway, but is made even odder by wearing a weird, 1950s-style dress and sun hat. Surprisingly though, he looks pretty nice, and when getting ogled by the police, you almost wish that you were in the same seedy auditorium where his next notable act took place. You read that right. [P.S. trying to find a picture of him on a website which didn't endorse bestiality was difficult, so a video and a police record will have suffice!]

2. Sylvester Stallone in ‘Nighthawks.’
A classic bait-and-switch moment where the killer, who thinks he has preyed on a slight, meek woman in a nightgown, turns ‘her’ round and gets an eyeful of bearded Sly to the chops. Disappointed and terrified doesn’t even begin to cover it. Recently voted the best moment ever the ‘Save A Stallone Foundation’ (probably).

1. Johnny Depp in ‘Before Night Falls
That’s right, he’s beautiful in this; despite his surprisingly long armpit hairs. Here, playing a gay transvestite (called, naturally, Bon-Bon) in a prison, you understand why all the other inmates go feral for him; bringing on hushed tones and respectful lust. Bon-Bon’s ass, as well as being a thing of great beauty, is also an important plot point / transportation method. What more could one ask for?
P.S. looking up pictures for these did nothing for my sanity. A mere google search took me into a whole new world of the internet depravitiy. By my reckoning, the internet is 80% cat pictures, 10% porn, 5% homosexual fan fiction (especially of Stallone and Billy Dee Williams in nighthawks) and the rest for ebay, amazon, facebook, youtube, youtube's ignorant comments, and twitter.
