5 Movies For Fans of Ranma 1/2

If any of y’all like me grew up watching Ranma 1/2 and want to watch a movie that scratches the same itch, here are my top recommendations.

1. Some Like It Hot (1959)

Two musicians, Joe and Jerry, accidentally witness The Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre. In order to hide from from the mafia they crossdress their way into a girls band performing in Florida. In Florida, while one of them flirts with a millioinaire, the other impersonates a millionaire in order to impress the band’s lead singer, Sugar, all while continuing to hide from the mafia, leading to cases of mistaken identity and general chaos. CW: mild violence, mild period typical homophobia, transphobia (specifically surrounding the concept of men dressing up as women to sneak into women’s spaces) alcohol

2. What’s Up Doc? (1972)

Four guests with identical bags stay overnight in a hotel. Mr. Smith carries a bag of illegal stolen top secret government files, and he is being followed by Mr. Jones, a government agent attempting to steal the contents back. The quiet Dr. Bannister who is attending a musical conference has a bag of igneous rocks and is staying with his overbearing fiancee Eunice. He is simultaneously being romantically pursued by Judy Maxwell, a girl who is incredibly smart but keeps getting kicked out of colleges for her general disregard of rules, whose bag contains her underwear. Mrs. Van Hoskins’ bag contain her jewel collection, which the incompetent hotel employees are trying to steal. General antics ensue, and the chase scene follows Looney Tunes-esque logic. CW: mild violence, a few misogynistic jokes

3. The Wedding Banquet (1993)

Wai-Tung’s parents are ignorant of his partner Simon. They are desperate for their son to get married, and to pacify them and monetarily help Wei-Wei, a woman he has a tenous friendship with, he gets a marriage in name only to her. However his parents insist on throwing an extravagant party. This film is notably more serious in tone and subject matter than the previous ones, and focuses primarily on the relationships between the three main characters and Wai-Tung’s parents, and themes of found family and biological family. CW: rape, alcohol, homophobia, discussions of abortion.

4. Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

Another more seriously movie, this film follows one family’s journey across the country to support their youngest daughter Olive, an average 9 year old girl who wishes to one day be a child beauty queen. The family includes an overworked mother, her gay academic brother who is recovering from a suicide attempt, a father who works as a motivational speaker, a son who has taken a vow of silence until he becomes a fighter pilot, and a grandfather who was evicted from a retirement home for snorting heroin. As the roadtrip continues everyone faces challenges, but are brought together for their love for Olive. There are no romantic plot lines in this film, but the humor still reminds me of Takahashi gags. CW: suicide attempt, mentions of suicide, drug usage, homophobic remarks

5. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

This well known remake of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew takes place in an American high school in the 90s. New kid Cameron instantly falls in love with the popular Bianca, but learns her father will not allow her to date anyone until her famously grumpy older sister, Kat, also goes on a date. While competing with wealthy, attractive and vapid rival Joey, Cameron and his best friend convince him to pay school rebel Patrick to date Kat. As always, love quadrangles, lies, and chaos ensue. CW: misogyny, alcohol

I love everything about this.

Kelly Marie Tran's character in Star Wars is a favourite of mine, so under appreciated, and she was treated so badly by the fandom and by Disney too. And despite that I've never seen her show anything but enthusiasm for being part of that story, unlike many other actors who got bigger and more acclaimed roles and more popular characters.

I'm glad that she feels able to be her authentic self, and respect the courage it must have taken to say this, especially right now.

Kelly Marie Tran has publicly come out as queer.

Speaking to Vanity Fair about her upcoming remake of Ang Lee's queer rom-com The Wedding Banquet, the Star Wars actress felt emboldened to step into her truth on the record for the first time. "I haven’t said this publicly yet, but I’m a queer person,” shared Tran.

She added of her involvement in queer filmmaker Andrew Ahn's remake, "The thing that really excited me about it was I got to play a person that I felt like I knew. I don’t feel like I’m acting at all in this movie."

"I’m here doing this amazing movie with these amazing people," said Tran. "I’ve never been in a queer space before. I’ve never truly felt this accepted before.”
