Sun, Sea And Celluloid

Three beach-set films:

Set in England after the Second World War and inspired by the early life of British madam Cynthia Payne, Wish You Were Here follows Lynda Mansell (Emily Lloyd), a free-spirited, profanity-spouting and sexually frank teenager who lives in a quiet seaside town with her widowed father and her younger sister.

Based on the off-Broadway play by Charles Busch, Psycho Beach Party revolves around Florence "Chicklet" Forrest (Lauren Ambrose), a Gidget-like "surfer chick with a split personality" who is one of a handful of suspects thought to be responsible for a series of gruesome (but humorous) deaths in 1962 Malibu Beach.

Set during the summer of 1963, Shag follows Carson McBride (Phoebe Cates), Melaina Buller (Bridget Fonda), Caroline "Pudge" Carmichael (Annabeth Gish) and Luanne Clatterback (Page Hannah), four friends who sneak off to Myrtle Beach for a weekend away together before Carson gets married.

Dude Looks Like A Lady

Dragtastic characters from film and TV:

High school student Chris Calder (Corey Haim) disguised himself as a girl in order to avoid being bullied by Kurtis "Kurt" Stark (Cameron Bancroft) and his friends in Just One of the Girls (aka Anything for Love).

Clarence Bell (Gary Anthony Williams) took on the persona of an assertive and confrontational woman named Clarice in an attempt to overcome his shyness in Boston Legal.

Captain Monica Stark (Charles Busch) tried to track down the culprit responsible for a series of mysterious deaths in Psycho Beach Party.

Cross-dressing DEA agent Dennis/Denise Bryson (David Duchovny) helped former colleague Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) investigate drug trafficking in Twin Peaks.
