I rated the movies we watched this semester from my favorite (at number 1) to my least favorite (at number 12):
1. Moonrise Kingdom - I just love looking at anything directed by Wes Anderson, it's like entering a candy shop for your eyes. Plus I love the cast of actors he always uses and this movie was on my top ten list at the beginning of the class.
2. O Brother, Where Art Thou? - The Coens' take on the Odyssey is really interesting and I love the layers of cultural references embedded into the film, each time I watch it I find one that I've never picked up on before.
3. Blancanieves - I thought this film was just gorgeous. Plus I liked this darker take on the Snow White story.
4. The Vanishing - I thought the bad guy in this film was so interesting and so creepy and I thought including his process of getting to the kidnapping and murder was very interesting.
5. Sherlock Jr. - I liked the physical humor of this film and was really impressed by the effectiveness of the stunts. I also liked the subtle political message of the film.
6. My Own Private Idaho - I thought this film was really unique and incorporated many elements I had not seen in film before.
7. Wendy & Lucy - I didn't mind the slow pace of the film and I appreciated the way the director approached trying to make a political movie without shoving the message down your throat.
8. Freaks - I thought this movie was interesting and I liked that it stared actual "freaks", but I thought the message got mixed up and wasn't clear.
9. Awara - This movie was good and I enjoyed the musical numbers and Indian culture but it was way too long.
10. Killer of Sheep - I appreciate what this movie is doing and the realism of it, but it's just not that enjoyable to watch so I wouldn't say that I loved it. I am however glad that I saw it.
11. Detour - I didn't dislike this film, it's just not that memorable to me.
12. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - I'm just not much of a cowboy movie person so this film didn't resonate that much with me.
