Indeed.
In MY humble opinion you should show these fantastic works of art:
Amelie - it IS subtitled because it's in French which some people find unfavorable - it never hurt anyone to read. I think it has literary merit because of the unique depiction of the characters - they have a wonderful texture to them. The film's protagonist tries to find happiness by bringing happiness to others through good deeds. She evolves throughout the movie as do the characters around her and the message is very relatable.
Little Miss Sunshine - themes of success and failure as well as self acceptance. A dysfunctional family who experiences an attempted suicide, loss and despite their best efforts, failure. I believe it's a commentary on the American outlook of "winner-take-all". It also helps that this movie is hilarious and the actors do a wonderful job.
These two are very captivating and I think they’d be interesting for future classes to watch - they have valuable lessons to teach. Both of these movies have a lot to be said about them and my descriptions don’t do any justice to them. I would dare to argue for some Mel Brooks movies like History of the World part 1 or Young Frankenstein but then I thought that those two other movies would be better for the classroom environment. Or maybe I don’t want to share. Who truly knows the mystery of the human heart?
I just realized that both of these movies are rated R and I'm assuming that you can't show them such racy material? I’m not sure but they shall be posted nevertheless.
