[Dialogue] Movie Recommendations

[Adam Thomson]

A movie I have used in a human resource management class (but would be 
suitable for any group interested in discussing important subjets) is 
"Norma Rae" - although the gift of the discussion method is that it works 
with almost any movie that has any significant content, as opposed to pure 
entertainment. Pure comedies - and musicals, etc - are harder to deal with, 
for instance - in my opinion.

Other movies off the top of my head include "Dead Poet's Society", "Erin 
Brockovitch", "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and "Lost in Translation".

I am sure others will have suggestions.

Love to all,

Adam Thomson in Brussels.
