78. Hedwig And The Angry Inch (2001)

Fans of 70s rock icons like David Bowie and Iggy Pop will get a sparkly-spandexed kick out of this eccentric musical comedy drama, the big screen adaptation of an exuberantly camp off-Broadway musical about a transsexual wannabe rock singer named Hedwig. Writer/director John Cameron Mitchell takes the lead role, camping it up big style with 70s music, bouffant hair, lashings of eyeshadow and a smattering of sharp one-liners. It's not all absurd exuberance though. There's a great deal of pathos in this tale of grim ambition and gender identity.
