... In my discussion with colleagues, I find that the same films come up over and 
over again as favorites in the Modern World Literature class: The Battleship 
Potemkin, The Blue Engel, Rashomon.

in the class: Mississippi Masala, Death and the Maiden, Forrest Gump, The House 
of the Spirits, The Truman Show, The Year of Living Dangerously.
