How is it going? Mike, Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Here is my Lovely movie list:
1.Blind Side.
2.Forrest Gump
3.Beautiful Mind
4.Gladiator
5.Dumb and Dumber
6.Godzilla (2014)
7.Lucy
8.Into the Wild
9.Maze Runner

Teachers note: OK, did not see Godzilla or Blind Side (Sandra Bullock). Did see (and loved) Lucy. Also saw The Maze Runner. As I mentioned on Facebook, loved this film too. Glad for your input. Love to watch "Into the Wild" in class. Sean Penn did an amazing jolt with this one. Thanks.

I'm interested in drama and action. The top 5 movies that I would like to watch are :
A Beautiful Mind
Contagion
The Hunger Games
Life of Pi
Limitless
*****************
This is a fine list, all at MGE. I once showed Contagion in the film elective and was surprised that is was not as well liked as other films. Maybe this is because the story is more like a documentary and less like a drama. But in this day of Ebola fear, Contagion might be a good choice.

Thanks,
