Some film recommendations...

During my time at this school (SGO) and in working with students, it has become clear to me how 'uneducated' they are as to some great films...so, here is a sample list to get you started in the direction of some quality films:

1. The Shawshank Redemption - surely the greatest film ever made - tough to watch, but an inspirational story of friendship and hope http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111161/

2. Dead Poets Society - a classic film about teaching - 'Carpe Diem!'http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097165/

3. Babette's Feast - a simple story, well told...but a great point. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092603/

4. Field of Dreams - a fantasy film, don't be put off by the baseball interest...a great film about faith & vision - even if everyone else thinks you are mad - and about family :-)http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097351/

5. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - in my opinion, the BEST western ever made! Great film & performances, and some classic scenes and one-liners...awesome music too!http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060196/

   
   

That will do for now...more later ;-)
