Whether iconic or unknown, movies and artists are what speak to us, challenge us, make us laugh and cry, and scrutinize society. These are films and artists that have personally made me do all of the above and I hope you may come to see them in the same light.
Recommended Movies:
Jagten (The Hunt): A Danish film about the plight of a man accused of sexually molesting the daughter of his best friend. A raw and vulnerable performance from Mads Mikkelsen (star of NBC’s Hannibal) makes an otherwise simple plot complex and compelling.
Wayne’s World: So stupid it’s good. Schwing.
A Clockwork Orange: Provocative and controversial; questions whether goodness is chosen or imposed by society.
American Beauty: A response to the parts of us that like perverse things
Unbranded: Documentary featuring three best friends and their trek across the west on horseback and a commentary on the government’s treatment of wild mustangs.
Stranger Things: 2016 mini-series that is the perfect mix of sci fi, relationship tension, and campy horror.
Macgyver: One man, one mind, and ingenious responses to hundreds of obstacles.
