Hello Beautiful People,
Recently I took to polling colleagues about films. I wanted to know, what are great films that high school kids should know – stories that they can learn from, stories that they can relate to, and classic pieces of cinema that would be useful to their repertoire.
Here’s what they came up with:
- To Kill A Mockingbird
- Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
- High Noon
- October Sky
- Ghandi
- Malcolm X
- Real Women Have Curves
- Heathers
- Schindler’s List
- Dead Poets Society
- Breakfast Club
- Searching for Bobby Fischer
- Princess Bride
- Bowling for Columbine
- An Inconvenient Truth
- Raising Victor Vargas
- Real Women Have Curves
- The Godfather I and II
- Harold and Maude
- The Crying Game
- On the Waterfront
- When the Levees Broke
- It’s a Wonderful Life
- Singing in the Rain
- Citizen Kane
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- Toy Story
- Gone with the Wind
- Jaws
- Annie Hall
- The Princess Bride
