I would like to thank Richard Edwards at the University of Nebraska for suggesting many of these titles.
I am sure that there are many more titles that could be added to this list. If you have one in mind, please feel free to suggest it. Ideally, this list will grow substantially as the semester progresses. If you wish to earn extra credit by watching a movie that is not on this list, preapprove it with me beforehand.
