Help

Okay, I need some help. I'm trying to think of a movie or television show that I could show my students that would be an example of misperceiving someone - a case of mistaken identity. The one I could think of was in Seinfeld when Elaine dates a guy who she thinks is black and who thinks she is Latina. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the video to that, so I'm still searching. Any help would be appreciated!

cheesy, chick-flick (one of my favorites) You've Got Mail. She thinks he's a jerk, but he's secretly her internet boyfriend. Like Mr. Darcy.
