Tirelessly Hunting for a film I watched pre-2000s… Girl posing as a boy.

Hi all!

I have been desperately searching the internet for a few days now for a film I watched when I was young and thus my memories of it are a bit hazy. I thought it might be from the 80’s but it could well be a bit older or, more likely, newer – but I know for sure it was pre-2000’s.

Plot (as far as I can remember):
A teenage girl (or young woman) on the run, I believe, SHAVES her head and poses as a boy at a high school.

Scenes:
-Her shaving her head.
-In the gym showers she narrowly avoids being discovered (I think she has her breasts bound, but i’m not 100% on that).
-There is at least one girl at the school who likes her and they may end up going out with each other (as I remember her having to try to avoid being exposed in a scene of a sexual nature).

That’s about all I can remember with any real clarity, if it can even be called that..

Films that I am absolutely certain it is NOT include:
Just One of the Guys
The Legend of Billie Jean
Boys Don’t Cry

Please help! I recall this film having a major impact on me and the only other conclusion i can come to is that I’m mixing up Billie Jean and Boys Don’t Cry together – only that neither Helen Slater nor Hilary Swank shave their heads in the film and I vividly remember this scene!

One thought on “Tirelessly Hunting for a film I watched pre-2000s… Girl posing as a boy.

  1. I can think of ‘She’s The Man’ with Amanda Bynes. Sorry if this isn’t it, but that’s what I thought of.
