My Film History Class

Hey, since Jonah started the movies discussion, I figured I'd volunteer this little bit. Next term I get to teach film history class. So, I figured I'd let you guys know the movies I'll be showing these unknowing yet impressionable youngsters. It's pretty tame for me, because I'd like to keep this job. No Ichi, The Killer and Old Boy, despite much temptation. Here's the screening list.

1. Casablanca
2. Citizen Kane
3. The Bicycle Theif
4. Annie Hall
5. Raging Bull
6. Do The Right Thing
7. For A Fistfull of Dollars
8. Psycho
9. The Seven Samurai
10. Fast, Cheap and Out Of Control
11. Roger And Me
12. 8 1/2
13. City Of God
14. The Royal Tennebaums
15. 2001 : A Space Odyssey
16. Blue Velvet

Some of these are there because of more historical and departmental concerns. Others are obviously there because of my innitiative.

If you have any thoughts or suggestions give me a comment.

Comments:
I would switch out 'A Fistfull of Dollars' with 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly'. Also, what about something Copolla from the 70's?
 
I was thinking "Fistful" as the beginning of the trilogy. But "the Good, Bad..." is a superior film. I just don't have a long of enough class to show Godfather 2, maybe I could show "Apocalypse, Now"...
 
Definitely show "the good, the bad, etc".
