[Videolib] need film suggestions
Dear CW, As the beginning of the semester looms, I have received this question (below). Would love to hear your suggestions. I think she's looking for feature films. Thanks!! I am teaching a course whose theme is American Popular Culture-- Advertising, Television, Popular Music, Technology, Sports and Movies. If you could suggest 1 popular/notable film related to each of these themes I would really appreciate it---I like to enhance my syllabus with films correlated to the themes of the course for the more visual learners.

Re: [Videolib] need film suggestions
There are so many choices: Sports -- I'd go with Miracle because it is a good film and it also covered huge popular culture moment. Advertising -- I can not think of any beyond the ones mentioned by Elizabeth. Popular Music -- For pure cheese factor but it did highlight a time in our history Thank God It's Friday It may be disco, but remember, those who do not learn about the past are doomed to repeat it. Technology -- I can't think of the title, but there was a movie with Greg Kinear who played a person who came up with windshield wiper technology that was supposed to be pretty good. Movies -- Singin' in the rain; the entrenchment of the studio system with the dawn of the talkies. A fantastic movie to boot. regards jhs John H. Streepy Library-Government Publications James E.

Re: [Videolib] need film suggestions
Hi Wow! Big task! Sorta depends on the slant of the class, I think. There have been movies made on these themes throughout the history of film...I your prof looking for strictly contemporary, older? The view of pop culture phenomena and artifacts as represented in the movies shifts radically over time. In any case: For advertising (particularly Mad Men-resonate advertising), you could consider The Hucksters (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039477/) Lover Come Back (1961) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055100/ Elia Kazan's Face in the Crowd is a terrific early indictment of television's potential for fostering demogoguery Bye Bye Birdie is sort of cool for both its gentle send-up of rock n' roll and TV (not to mention teenagers) Network and Broadcast News are good movie looks at TV.
