[edit] Is this meant to be a list or not?

This article is currently a rather awkward and hard to read hodgepodge of lists, short summaries, and longer descriptions of films and TV programs. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to which films are covered in-depth. Why does "Glen or Glenda?" deserve a long paragraph while "Yentl" gets a single sentence? Do we really need to know exactly what kind of cross-dressing occurs in every television example? If the goal is to present an exhaustive list of films or TV programs that prominently feature cross-dressing, I think it's going to have to be a simple list of titles with perhaps some brief general analysis (e.g., cross-dressing is a time-honored comedy staple, while serious dramas about cross-dressing are rare). However, I didn't want to totally reformat the article without giving others the chance to present their opinions here. CKarnstein 05:56, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Its not true about Eric Idle being the main Python playing women. They all did, but if anything Terry Jones was the main 'woman'.

[edit] What about Joan of Arc?

Shouldn't the different movies on the historical character be mentioned? I mean, what is the difference with the female character of The Lord of the Rings? Nazroon 05:01, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
