Tootsie -- An unemployed actor dresses as and gets a soap opera part as a woman. It is his perfect BIG secret until he falls in love with the leading actress in his series who along with everyone else does not know he is really a man. 1982's Best Picture winner.

The Way We Were -- Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford's classic about the perils of love during Hollywood's blacklisting era.

Charles Bronson portrays a drifter outlaw, Graham Dorsey, who has a liaison with a writer (Jill Ireland) who is so taken with him that she transforms him, after his death, into a legend. She builds a great commercial empire based on her fictional re-creation of "Graham Dorsey." Dorsey's name becomes a hallowed legend of the Old West. When Dorsey turns up very much alive, no one recognizes him or believes that he is Dorsey--including Ireland. Now a myth, but no longer possessing his own identity, Dorsey will end his days in an asylum where the kindly doctors will humor this old man's charming delusion that he was once a great gunfighter. Based on the novel by Frank D. Gilroy.

Based on a short story, "Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy," by Isaac Bashevis Singer. Yentl is the story of a young Eastern European woman, who, very early in our century (pre-WWI), disguises herself as a boy in order to pursue her passion for studying the Torah. Yentl (Streisand) has no trouble passing for a boy as she pursues her studies, but when she falls in love with a fellow student (Mandy Patinkin) she cannot, of course, express her feelings. Circumstances of Jewish law force the "boy" Yentl to marry a girl (Amy Irving), but the concealment must continue and Yentl must invent reasons for a long-delayed "consumation" of the marriage. Finally, she reveals her secret to her bride, who, after a time of shock, accepts Yentl for what she is.
