Extra Credit

Double Indemnity, 1944 directed by Billy Wilder I feel that this was a great movie because of its compelling storyline. It was also my first original film noir movies I have ever seen and I loved. For that reason I feel that it serves as a great example of noir to people who are not familiar with the genre.

North by Northwest, 1959 directed by Alfred Hitchcock  This one is a classic masterpiece of the master himself Alfred Hitchcock. I think this film is noteworthy not only because it’s good but because I feel that everyone enjoys Hitchcock’s films.

Le voyage dans la lune (A Trip to the Moon), 1902 directed by Georges Méliès This movie is simply powerful and ahead of its time. I feel that this movie is excellent because it was made in 1902 and still managed to transport me. It’s hard for a modern day movie to transport me to the films world but this one did.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story 2007 directed by Jake Kasdan  I feel that film students should see this film because of its strong storyline. This films storyline is very well constructed and shown on film. Also John C. Reilly is a great actor that film students could enjoy.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 1998 directed by Terry Gilliam This film has very excellent examples of visuals. The camera angles and techniques are vast in the film. It also has an oddly plotted storyline that can be interesting to experience.

Drive 2011 directed by Nicolas Winding Refn  Drive is a great example of good cinematography and style. This movie fairly new but the directed was able to capture a retro look to it. Not to mention the story plot is great and has essences of noir.
