I think of myself as somewhat of a movie buff. Therefore, narrowing down the choices of great movies that I would use to facilitate media literacy is quite daunting. Here is a short list off of the tope of my head.
1. Goodfellow's
2. Godfather 1
3. Godfather 2
4. Boiler Room
5. Schindler's List
6. Top Gun
7. Casa Blanca
8. Raging Bull
9. Citizen Kane
10 To Kill a Mockingbird

William: As you mentioned in one of your earlier posts, your time is often limited. It is perfectly okay to give kids samples/excerpts/short snippets of film to help make a point. Your list, as I hinted at last week in class, is also somewhat problematical for use in school (some of it). You'll really need to know your community and really have a very strong rationale if you were to use some of these films. You might be better off to find less provocative films that make similar thematic points for use in class. (That is, unless you do really, really know the community and have really strong rationale.
