I haven't seen Persepolis, Fruitvale, or The Conversation, though. Thoughts?



I had to read and watch Persepolis back in 2009 and did not like it

I wish this was available at SELU when I was there. I had to take some crappy art history.

How do kids nowadays get these movies for a class? I guess Netflix, but if they're not available? Do the teachers expect you to purchase the movies? Back in my day, we would just go to the local Blockbuster.


I teach a college writing course, and I'm going to ask my students to watch a film at home.

I listed applicable movies available on Netflix and Amazon Prime. Then I gave a list of movies available at the university library. Then I told them that it's $3.99-$5.99 to rent a movie through Amazon Prime or Apple TV and that from what I've been told from left wing politicians, they have $200,000 to spend in student loans before they get their degree.

Solid list. I've seen all. You will love the conversation.

I'd be shocked if Revenant tops it as best of 2015


This. It won't. Revenant doesn't even make my top 5 of the year.






Honorable Mentions:
45 Years
Room
Revenant
(Still haven't seen Anomalisa)

From a technical standpoint (dir., dp, score) the Revenant was the best. It's damn near impossible to top what lubezki did especially. However, I feel that the love for the Revenant is following In the same vein as the love for boyhood last year, in that the praise is directed at the grandeur and scope of the project rather than the final product. But visually it's a stunning achievement.

I showed up for my required Lit 2 course. It turns out the "theme" for the class was romantic love. I think you won out. Though that class was in my dorm.

I've genuinely never met someone that didn't at least enjoy that movie. I'm not here to say it's the greatest movie ever, but in a world of truly shitty movies and remakes I'm not sure "Inside Man" qualifies as a pos.
