MWil23 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 After finishing our unit on the Great Depression and New Deal and headed into Christmas Break/exams, I always show my students "Cinderella Man". It's a favorite of mine and the students love it. Well rounded solid movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, how do they usually respond to it? The only mention of it that I could find was a post from @D82 a couple years ago. I think it's one of those documentaries that everyone should see.

Gotcha. For some reason I was thinking you also taught sociology or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know our government teachers show a clip or 2. I used to teach sociology. I teach a couple of college western civilization classes now and psychology too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Village of the Damned (1960). I’ve never actually seen this version. It plays like a long episode of The Twilight Zone. It’s good. Considerably better than Carpenter’s version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 The Bridge on the River Kwai. #2 and #3 on the underrated actors of all time list… Alec Guiness, William Holden. I hate how Guiness is remembered only as Obi-Wan when he was excellent, but I hate more how William Holden… Most people don’t even recognize the name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My great grandparents had a sweet story they liked to share about seeing that movie on their first date. Shortly after that they had my grandma in 1935. I still have yet to see the movie though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) Got around to Enola Holmes 2. Solid, but a clear step down from the first one. I'm still in for a third if they make it, but man o man did they botch part of the ending. The part that should have been the easiest to really nail too transformed into an eye roll moment.

You’re all a bunch of uncultured MCU Transformer doofuses who wouldn’t know a classic if your lives depended on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
