What movies do girls pretend to be boys?

Answer 1

I never heard of this, except maybe in an historical sense with Cowgirls or characters like Calamity Jane. Girls attempting male roles- such as Mulan and Joan of Arc were still l00% female and had their armor altered to protect their breasts, etc. the plot line you are tallking about suggests Transvestism and Lesbianism.- both taboo topics in the heyday of Hollywood.

In the couple of movies I've seen it doesn't have anything to do with transvestism or anything like that.They usually are doing it because they weren't able to do something as a girl.

She's the man features Amanda Bynes pretending to be a boy because the girls soccer team at her school gets cut and the boys wouldn't let her go out for the team.

There's another 80's movie where a girl pretends to be a boy to get near the boy she likes called Just one of the Guys. Mulan takes her ailing father's place by pretending to be his son when they call for a male from every family to fight the Huns.
