Teaching Sociology through Film basically means I get to force my favorite films upon my class. That being said, even Shawshank, Dead Poets, and Rashomon get tiresome. So, the one movie I still enjoy and look forward to seeing is:
12 Angry Men On a side note. The movie that gets the highest rating from my high school students is: It Happened One Night |

I think it's my favorite Wes Anderson... it's tough between that and Rushmore. But it always astounds me how universally panned it was by critics. I don't think I'll understand that. |

The Princess Bride although at this point I have seen it so often it kind of takes extra motivation to watch it again.

Books and songs favorites I can understand but movies tend to bring out more extreme reactions, I think. Wes Anderson movies? Seriously? Not to mention Casablanca and Bull Durham.

Try to have an open mind. Rushmore came out in 1998, I saw it when I was probably 15 for the first time. A certain coming of age movie for me. Some movies connect with people in different ways- don't be so short-sighted. Last edited by korme : 03-12-2013 at 01:50 PM. |

After the shawshank, dead poets and life is beautiful trifecta anything that does not involve tragic deaths I think is appreciated. I think the students also like seeing how something so old can still being funny, edgy and sweet. |

There are three movies that if I see them on I will watch to conclusion so it would have to be one of them. They are: The Princess Bride, Die Hard and The Lost Boys.
I would have to say The Princess Bride. |

It is interesting that the movies picked here are judged on repeat watch-ability, like songs. However, there is something to be said about first watch greatness. For example, I have no desire to ever watch Raiders, Babel or Dark Knight again, but those were probably the best first time experience. |

Maybe it's recency bias, but Seven Samurai is the first movie that comes to mind.

Yeah, I think there is a significant dichotomy between repeatability and experience. I would some of the favorites would be the rare movies that are both, which is how I feel about Godfather, Gettysburg and Baraka. Some movies are great but only one time through, but for others (like me), my favorite books, songs and movies are those I want to experience over and over.

Yeah that would likely be mine, although it's something I can only watch every couple of years. I don't think you will ever find a movie of the same length in which absolutely every single scene is as well thought out or important as in this film. Another Toshiro Mifune movie Samurai Saga/Life of an Expert Swordsman is a close favourite of mine too. It's a Japanese telling of the Cyrano de Bergerac story, but Mifune just absolutely nails it.
