My definition for what makes a truly great film is that I am a different person after watching it.
I urge your students to look beyond "good/bad" and allow themselves the possibility to be changed.
This is extremely pertinent in my life right now as I am addicted to movies. Seriously. It's becoming a problem as college apps are due in two weeks, I have my IOC on Thursday and numerous other assessments in different classes. I've especially been watching a lot of movies from the late 1970s to the late 1990s - some really amazing amazing movies. And more than anything, I've been focusing on different acting techniques of some of the greatest actors and actresses (MERYL STREEP). And most of these movies, I think I can say that my perspective of life or whatever has changed. I think this was carried by actors in the film amongst other things.
