Here is your list of films and television shows for your Extra Credit. Your assignment is to CHOOSE ONE from the following list (all are available via Netflix), watch it, and evaluate it in light of the subjects We've discussed throughout the class. The response should be between 700 and 800 words long, and done in double-spaced Times New Roman font.

Apply any and all RELEVANT subjects we've discussed to the content and themes of the film or episode. For Example: That means don't try to cram in Hinduism if there are no Hindu Themes, Present.

HAH!

If any of my students transfers to/continues at GSU, then I'll be sure to tell them to take a history class or two ;)

The only one I haven't seen was 12 Monkeys. And Sarah Conner Chronicles. I feel like a supernerd now.
Have you seen The Nines? What did you think?

HIGHLY recommend both of those.

And no, but it looks really interesting...

I'll add them to the queue. Thanks!

The thing that makes this the nerdiest isn't the selection of movies, it's the "(DIRECTOR'S CUT ONLY)."

I know! ^_^ But it is really Really important that they see the Director's Cut, and not the theatrical release :)
