Favorite Series: Movies

Funny how life connects. For a Twitter challenge today, it asked what is your favorite movie. I used one of my favorite songs in another challenge based on music. So this must be the perfect time for this series. Today is movies, so here are three of my favorite movies (4 if you see the tweet I mentioned before).

One of my favorite horror movies is Oculus. Mirrors have a long history as a literary element. Mirrors are passageways. Used as a metaphor for truth. This move is centered on a mirror, and it is scary!

A documentary that always hits me is Louder Than a Bomb. I know, for those readers who know me this doesn’t surprise you. But if you have to see this movie to understand. This movie reveals how poetry helps people, teens in this case, make sense of the world. 

A cult classic of mine is The Warriors. Yes, the 1979 gang movie. It is such a great film. I won’t go into my teacher mode and break down the idea of community, identity, and friendship this movie reveals. We can chat about that after you’ve watched it.

Leave a comment if you enjoy these movies.
