Recommended movies

If you want lots of context and sources for discussing and analysing literature, you can't go wrong with watching good movies.    A good movie has excellent characterization, setting and plot with many of the elements of literature you are studying.

Here are some:    (click the picture or title to link to information about the movies)




  

Gladiator







The Housemaid

 (This 2010 Korean thriller is an excellent example of conflict.  You can watch it on Netflix on your computer, smartphone or ipad or even linked in TV.)







Planes, Trains and Automobiles  

 (This is one of my favourite comedies.   The setting changes a lot.  You see dynamic characterization clearly in this funny story.  It can be seen on Netflix as well.)
                                                   










This is an excellent multimedia resource for movies and tv shows.  Unlimited viewing for $8 per month.
