That's a good question, Suzi. It's been an ongoing bone of contention within the school systems forever. I like it when classes take on the tough questions. For this one, I think that Meryl Streep movie would be awesome.
Man, just ascend already.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Does the movie/book realistically reflect the impact of art education on adolescents?
Mad Hot Ballroom is about 5th graders, so not quite adolescents. Don't know how important that distinction is.

They just want to leer at Dominic West, I suppose. That's why I rented it. What? But there's only two or three scenes in it about art. Honest.

Sail - which one has Meryl Streep? Sorry, so darned confused.

Music of the Heart? I'm bad at remembering movie titles.
IMdb confirms it. Not so bad a memory after all.

Dead Poets is a little old, but I think it's a way better movie than MLS, Although I think it was aiming at "Dead Poets For Chicks"...I just don't think it hit it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Mona Lisa Smile is about college students, right? So not quite adolescents. What about Rock School?

School of Rock? Jack Black? Hmmmmm...now that is interesting.

Nope, Rock School - a documentary about a school that teaches kids how to be rockers. School Of Rock works too, though.

School of Rock is about a private school, so it makes it harder to answer some of the questions. Am looking at Music of the Heart and Rock School to see if either would fit.
Thanks so much for the suggestions. It is amazing how challenging it has been coming up with ideas that fit the assignment and I'm the only one of the team offering suggestions.
