Hi Marynelle What does your faculty mean by "leadership", I wonder. For eg, moral leadership/courage (e.g. Michael Clayton?) or more obvious political, corporate, etc. For politics, see http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/politicalmovies.html For corporate see http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/corpora

In the sports movie vein, I think Hoosiers merits a mention; there are a number of differing leadership models on display in it, imho. 1) Jimmy Chitwood's "strong and silent" "actions speak louder than words" type; 2) Gene Hackman's firm and traditional role as the actual coach; 3) Shooter's son s

Dear collective mind, Do you know if "Fashions of 1934" starring Bette Davis and William Powell is available anywhere for purchase? I prefer DVD but VHS also works if there is no DVD. Thanks. Farhad Moshiri AV Librarian University of the Incarnate Word San Antonio, TX ___

It isn't out but I will check with a friend who handles the WB dvds and ask. It may be scheduled for the WB Archive collection. I think one possibility is that no good master existed and WB just announced at a festival that I was at that they have remastered 200 films for release in the Archive co

"Fashions" (1934) was released on VHS from some low-budget video label with generic video art, don't recall the name of the company. I was still able to order a new VHS copy from Scarecrow Video here in Seattle back in the early 2000s, so you could see if they're still able to get you a copy... but

And while they don't meet the "in the last decade or two" part of the request, I thought of a couple of dubious leadership styles in Gordon Gekko in Wall Street and Tom Cruise's Joel in Risky Business. Come to think of it, there's a leadership philosophy in Miles' remarks in that film, too: "

The Warner Archives Collection is terrific! They recently released a re-mastered DVD of Robert Altman's "Brewster McCloud" (1970). Every library should have at least 2 copies of that one, if you ask me. :) Alex __

Jessica raises a really good point about the Warner Archive. Because of the declining DVD market Warner is shifting *most* of their older film releases to the Warner Archive nowadays. Only a select number of "classic" titles will be released on regular DVD in the future. Most of these transfers

Maybe I love David Straithairn too much, but I don't see him as weak, really, in Marshall. After all, he does go to the NCAA and get the exemption, despite being turned down multiple times (iirc)-an exemption that had never before been granted, to boot. Hesitant, sure, but who wouldn't be under tho
