Favorite Road Film

My favorite road movie would have to be Transamerica. It's about a male-to-female transsexual who has been waiting to get her final surgery. Right before she is able to get it, she finds out that she has a son she never knew about. The film is about her struggle with Gender Identity Disorder and how it affects her family, life, and future. I like it because it gives a unique perspective on gender identity, and it also shows how her son is affected by her sex-change. Both characters evolve throughout the movie and in the end, neither would be where they are without the other.
