But I'm a Cheerleader (1999)

Natasha Lyonne plays seventeen-year-old Megan, who journeys bravely through a pastel-coloured hell of categorising and group therapy.
Don't be put off by the garish cover art. It's not a damp chick flick. It's a smart coming of age/coming out comedy drama that touches almost all bases and takes a wry look at gender issues along the way. There's a good balance of sentimentality and satire throughout, and even though it'll be a little predictable for some folks it won't matter in the slightest because it does what it does with pom poms held high.
