-Jim's Journal

Students who enjoy the material we read or watch in class sometimes ask me to recommend additional material. Here are some films you might enjoy!

Catch-22
Avid fans of the book will be disappointed, but the film is worth watching nonetheless.

City of Lost Children
Another of Jean Pierre Jeunet's films. If you like the offbeat camera work in Delicatessen, you'll enjoy it.

Dr. Strangelove
There are dozens of reasons why you should see this film.

Masala
Not to be confused with Mississippi Masala, this film features a Krishna who communicates through the VCR and rebels who print subversive messages on toilet paper rolls.

Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle
An interesting piece on the life of Dorothy Parker.

Rubin and Ed
Crispin Glover has a cat who waterskis and can "eat a whole watermelon."
