Eva and I have been doing a film study of sorts

[conuly]

Mostly this is because we needed something to study so I can get a few months of writing work with her before she hies off to high school, and she wasn't interested in anything conventional.

Not that she's terribly interested in movies, but if I remember I can make popcorn.

Thus far we've watched Sweeney Todd, Billy Elliot, The Sound of Music, and (tonight) West Side Story. At her behest I think we're going to end up with Black Panther next week. She strongly didn't like West Side Story....

Any other suggestions?

Ooh, thanks.

Surely welcome! Note that The Secret (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_%282007_film%29) is the 2007 film, not the one based on some self-help book.

LOL, I'd say give her the list and let her pick for herself. Enjoy! I'd love to know what she picks, and what you and she both think. How many of those have you seen already yourself?

Not a huge movie watcher, actually... although I have a huge love for Sky High. (If you don't see this, lemme know, I'll copy it over on LJ.)

[Another edit:] Oh yeah, can't forget 'Save The Last Dance', which my daughter really liked in her teens, and 'I Am Dragon', which she also likes.
