			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our eyes and faces are set to melt a la The Ark of the Covenant this weekend, when the Adam Sandler-in-<a href="http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/movie-lists/9-movies-osama-bin-laden-will-be-watching-in-hell/" target="_blank">drag</a> comedy <em><a href="http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/movie-lists/the-best-jack-jill-trailer-parodies-so-far/" target="_blank">Jack &amp; Jill</a></em> hits theaters. Don&#8217;t blame Sandler, though. It&#8217;s not his fault. He&#8217;s just reached that inevitable point in his career where he&#8217;s required to do drag. It&#8217;s nature. You can&#8217;t fight it. In fact, if my calculations are correct, he&#8217;ll soon play a goofy cyborg who wants to become real or a guy who accidentally becomes president despite his love of cheese steak sandwiches.</p>
<p>Point being, you can&#8217;t be upset with <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/adam-sandler-149/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>Adam Sandler</a> over this. He&#8217;s only going with the flow. However, he should have looked at all those who failed before him before taking on such an aggressively sh*tty project. If only this list existed last year. I feel somewhat to blame.</p>
<p>At any rate, here are seven cross-dressing <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/comedies/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>comedies</a> that might be worse than <em>Jack and Jill</em>.</p>
<h4><em>Sorority Boys</em></h4>
<p><a href="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/sorority-boys-poster.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-235363" title="sorority-boys-poster" src="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/sorority-boys-poster-e1320687152521.jpg" alt='' width="450" height="253" /></a></p>
<p>In an attempt to clear themselves of a crime they didn&#8217;t commit, college guys Dave, Adam, and Doofer disguise themselves as women. The plan is to infiltrate their former frat-house and recover a tape that proves their innocence. Then they will be allowed to throw a big party that will get them high paying jobs regardless of their intelligence.</p>
<p>Makes sense to me.</p>
<p>Sidenote: Hey, Barry Watson. Sup?</p>
<h4><em>Juwanna Mann</em></h4>
<p><a href="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/juwannamann.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-235364" title="juwannamann" src="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/juwannamann-e1320687177140.jpg" alt='' width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Probably the most important cross-dressing basketball comedy from the year 2002, <em>Juwanna Mann</em> tells the tale of a disgraced professional basketball renegade who, when banned from <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tv/shows/the-league' target='_blank'>the league</a>, reinvents himself as a female basketball star. It would have been a million times better if it included a scene where Juwanna lumps up Don Imus.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Forest Gump: A man sleeps with a retarded girl, then spends the rest of his life trying to avoid her.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Films like <em>Boys Don’t Cry</em>, <em>Million Dollar Baby</em>, and even <em>GI Jane</em> have turned <a href="http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/gender-politics/" target="_blank">gender conventions</a> on their head by introducing female characters in roles historically played by males. Some say they’ve gone to far. I say “balderdash.” Yup. “Balderdash.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some of the most iconic movies of the past century become wildly exotic and more compelling when the <em>actual genders</em> are <a href="http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/movie-news/jude-law-to-swap-spit-with-anthony-hopkins/" target="_blank">swapped</a>.</p>
<p>You probably want an example. Here are 15&#8230;</p>
<h4>Forest Gump</h4>
<blockquote><p>A man sleeps with a retarded girl, then spends the rest of his life trying to avoid her.</p></blockquote>
<p>Different film, no? Perhaps not as sweet and endearing as the original, but certainly one I would pay to see.</p>
<p>Well, this happens to be the case for many, many recent and not-so-recent <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/classics/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>classics</a>. So take a gander to see what films pique your interest when the genders of the characters have been reversed. (Caution: Some plots become insanely hot and <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/erotic/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>erotic</a>.)</p>
<h4>Shawshank Redemption</h4>
<blockquote><p>A black woman and a white woman form a very special bond in <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/prison/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>prison</a>, only to reunite in <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/mexico-684/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>Mexico</a> to live the rest of their lives together.</p></blockquote>
<h4>Basic Instinct</h4>
<blockquote><p>A man kills a woman with an ice pick, then shows his genitals to the police during an interrogation before being cleared of all charges.</p></blockquote>
<h4>Iron Giant</h4>
<blockquote><p>A girl develops a very special relationship with a mechanical friend.</p></blockquote>
<h4>Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants</h4>
<blockquote><p>The continuing story of four young boys who acquire a pair of magical jeans that fit all four of them perfectly, even though they are all different shapes and sizes.</p></blockquote>
<h4>When Harry Met Sally</h4>
<blockquote><p>In order to demonstrate a salient point about sexual roles, a man fakes an orgasm in a crowded deli. “I’ll have what he’s having.”</p></blockquote>
<h4>Thelma and Louise</h4>
<blockquote><p>Two men shoot their rapist, have sex with a young girl, and <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/films/drive' target='_blank'>drive</a> off a cliff while being chased by women.</p></blockquote>
<h4>The Accused</h4>
<blockquote><p>A man dresses like a whore and gets raped by two women on top of a pinball machine.</p></blockquote>
<h4>Almost Famous</h4>
<blockquote><p>A 15 year-old female music reporter has a sexual awakening at the hands of older male groupies.</p></blockquote>
<h4>American Beauty</h4>
<blockquote><p>An uptight man has an affair while his wife masturbates in the shower. Then she’s killed by her closeted <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/lesbian/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>lesbian</a> neighbor.</p></blockquote>
<h4>Junior</h4>
<blockquote><p>A woman has a baby.</p></blockquote>
<h4>Boogie Nights</h4>
<blockquote><p>A woman with an enormous vagina enters the world of adult films.</p></blockquote>
<h4>Sex and the City 2</h4>
<blockquote><p>Four fabulous men with shoe fetishes go to Dubai to f*ck everything that moves.</p></blockquote>
<h4>A League of Their Own</h4>
<blockquote><p>While the women fight in <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/world-war-ii/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>World War II</a>, the men stay home and play <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/baseball/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>baseball</a>.</p></blockquote>
<h4>Bend It Like Beckham</h4>
<blockquote><p>A young <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/indian-subcontinent/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>Indian</a> boy defies his parents, who believe boys have no business playing soccer.</p></blockquote>
