Dear students,
Here is a link to a free subscription to the BFI film site.
Here you can expand your 'cultural competency' and try out classic and foreign films. We have spoken in the past about the lack of diverse films available in mainstream cinema, now you have the opportunity to expand your awareness.
Remember to keep to age ratings!

This is a link to Curzon home cinema- these films need to be paid for but they have more recent films such as Parasite- which recently swept the board at the Oscars.

You might like to look at this list of classic films to give you some inspiration.https://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/oct/20/drama-arthouse-25
Or look at the classic films available on Netflix
If you are a real film fan then try and get hold of the classic text 'Film Art' by Bordwell and Thompson- this is the classic film studies bible. You could plough your way through their suggestions and read their commentary at the same time.
You could even start a blog and post your observations on the films that you watch? If you do please send me a link- I would love to see what you have been watching.
Some of my personal favourite films are:
Withnail and I
A Room With a View (good for Eng Lit students)
Of Time and the City
Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight- a lovely trilogy of films spanning 20 years in real time
The Matrix (great for Baudrillard)
The Godfather
Apocalypse Now (loosely based on Heart of Darkness)
A bout de souffle (French version of Breathless- really stylish)
Distant Voices Still Lives
Lost In Translation (great soundtrack)
Secrets and Lies (Ken Loach)
Vicky, Christina, Barcelona (any Woody Allen film in fact, Annie Hall, Manhattan, lots to choose from)
