These are the ones that we have talked about so far in class. If anyone thinks of more, please add to this list. And if you see one of your recommendations (which I recommend), please post a blog entry about it (possibilities to write about include: what you thought about the film, if it helped you in anyway, what it made clear to you, how it related, what you didn't like, etc.)
Ben: Bottle Rocket
Justin: Lucky You
Pat: Shadow of a Doubt
Kelsey: Elephant
Carissa: When Harry Met Sally
Let's think of some coming of age movies for Jordan (maybe My Life As a Dog by Lasse Hallstrom?) and some for Matthew that aren't necessarily comic or superhero based. For Matthew let's think of movies where a main character has a crisis of confidence and lack of pride...this could also work for Justin's film too. Think not just about films that relate in plot, but also with themes and character conflicts or objectives.

I think Matthew needs to do some serious research into the characters of Batman, before he really begins. First understand who they are and what they would do and why, then begin. I'd also suggest watching mobster movies, because those movies have a lot of inner struggle and conflict throughout. I talked to Matthew a little bit about his outline, and gave him the idea of focusing on three characters. It will help his story move along. As for Jordan, it's not a story of coming of age for a young woman, but rather a boy, but I think he could gain something from it. It's called House of D and was completely over looked by most.
