One of the Greatest Movies EVER!!!

The movie American History X is a great movie and why I chose as a candidate. Its about a former neo-nazi that gets out of jail only to see that his brother has the same hatred for Blacks as he once did.

My House in Umbria

"My House in Umbria" is an excellent film to write our final project on because it has most of Corrigan's six methods, plus it's just an excellent movie to watch! After being a victim of a terrorist attack aboard a train, romance writer Mrs. Delahunty invites the survivors from her train compartment to come and recover at her beautiful mansion in the countryside of Umbria. Just as these four strangers start to become close and develop relationships with one another, the uncle of Aimee (who's parents were both killed in the attack), sends word that he is coming to get her. After meeting Aimee's uncle, Mrs. Delahunty does not think that living with him is the ideal situation for Aimee. From there, the story unfolds into Mrs. Delahunty trying to figure out more about this mysterious uncle of Aimee, how to persuade him to let her keep Aimee, and how to continue growing and developing her relationships with the other victims as well. Overall this is simply an excellent film and just as the tagline says: When you open your door to strangers, you never know who might come in.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

Although this movie is still in theaters, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is a good candidate for the final project. It will probably come out on DVD too late to use it for the final, but it is still a good film to watch, especially on the big screen.

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille was born with the most phenomenal sense of smell. He was born in the wrong time though, because 18th century France had a putrid smell to it. Jean-Baptiste nose leads him to become one of the greatest perfumers in France, but that is not enough for his greedy nose. He takes a dark turn as he tries to preserve "beautiful" scents, and create the ultimate perfume.

Perfume seemed to have somewhat a comical idea (super-nose powers), but the movie is so much more. Go to the theaters and watch this movie!
