1–. Canon FtM/AFAB trans characters in narrative film, trans and non-binary actors playing non-trans roles
153–. Documentaries and shorts
579–. Movies where an ostensibly cis woman dresses/acts as a man, films where a male character is played by a female actor
879–. Tomboys, Butches, and Studs (mainly just the ones who felt the most transmasculine to me)
1018–. Movies with gender-bending, androgynous, or not-totally-human men who reflect transmasculine or FtM/N sensibilities; movies not ostensibly about transness or even gender identity, but nevertheless of interest among trans men on the internet

Now including 800+ titles!!

I first made this list to fill a gap I have noticed on Letterboxd (and the internet in general) in terms of a dedicated, quasi-complete collection of transmasculine representation and interests in film. I think there were less than 300 movies on here when I made it public back in October, and while there are still disappointingly few titles that can fit into the top category of full-length narrative films with unambiguously canon transmasc & nonbinary content, it's incredibly heartening to see that that number has basically quadrupled after a few months of updates. I had hoped when I was first putting this together that others would find it a helpful reference, so it really means a lot to me that more and more people are finding this!

Most of the work I've done in compiling this list has just been trawling through other Letterboxd users' lists and online databases and sorting them into a few different categories. I've been regularly consulting several of these in order to keep this as up-to-date as possible and honestly don't know where I would've started without their help:

9413 ⚧ • TRANS
Electra Comprehensive list of trans, non-binary, drag and gender-bending
everythingisgay Transmasc themes
holykiss trans people of color in film ✧
LeonoratheLion Films by Transgender Writers and Directors
Megan_Maggot Tomboys in movies
MorganMPage Directed and/or written by transmascs and trans men
MundoF 🌈Pride: A Chronological History of Queer Interest & LGBTQ+ Cinema
Purrloin Girls Will Be Boys
Thorgal18 trans watchlist
Doubts transgender-sexual watchlist

I really greatly appreciate all of the help and suggestions that I've gotten so far in making this list, so if you know of any other films which you think should be included, please do let me know!
