Question to the group
Because I know some of you will know. Heck, I'm pretty sure I know, my brain just won't access the right files:
For the week I'll be out of town I'm giving my mythology class an assignment that will involve watching a movie. I'd like to give them a couple of options, but I need good movies that are related to mythology/legend. So far all I can think of is Whale Rider and The Secret of Roan Inish. I haven't actually seen either, but have heard enough about them to be fairly certain they'll work. Other ideas?
Please note, I said "good" movies. Clash of the Titans will always have a special place in my heart, but it doesn't qualify. And Troy has eye candy, but I hear it made Homer twist in his grave.
I haven't worked out all details of the assignment yet. Part of me is considering "The Village" because it's got interesting use of legend, but I think I can do better.
