Pick a film from the list and write an analytical response focused around how the film relates to writing. All of the films are available locally. Most are available at local video rental places or at public libraries. If you are a member of on-line rental services, they should be easy to find that way too.
Extra Credit: Pick a film from this list and write a page and a half analysis. Discuss how it relates to some of the issues we’ve been talking about in class. Don’t choose to write about a film you’ve seen repeatedly. This is due before Thanksgiving.
