Don't let the freak spoil the Neverland story for you. Peter plays an important role in children's literature. (I wrote many a paper on Barrie in college.) I own at least 20 copies of Peter Pan, most different only by illustration, and I re-read it every so often.I'm sorry, but the veil has been lifted. I guess this explains why Peter has traditionally been played by women in the various stage productions. From now on, nothing but Patton and Dirty Harry for my son! ;>)

Actually, the reason women played Peter is that the harness and wires required to make Peter fly wouldn't safely accommodate any of the "name" actors who might otherwise have been considered.
For a real guy movie, might I suggest my favorite, The Warriors? There's not one likable woman in that movie. Hell, there's barely any women at all - only Mercy and the Lizzies.
Plus, it has the Baseball Furies, and you just gotta love them.
