Shortbus.

From the same folk who made Hedwig & The Angry Inch. If you enjoyed that one you will love this one. :)

 




 
Ken Loachs The wind that shakes the barley about Irelands fight for independence and its descent into civil war. Think Cillian Murphy is in that one too
 
Farewell my concubine (1993)

In 1924, young Cheng Dieyi (Leslie Cheung) begins training at the Beijing Opera House at the same time as Duan Xiaolou (Fengyi Zhang). Cheng specializes in playing female parts, often against Duan's commanding male leads. While pretending to be in love with Duan onstage, Cheng begins to develop actual romantic feelings for his co-star, which are not reciprocated. Over the next 50 years, the two men maintain a complicated friendship as China undergoes turbulent changes.

Beautiful film that covers some really interesting Chinese history
