Movies are powerful. They can move us to tears of sadness, make us laugh with joy, or send us on a journey without leaving our seats.  We connect and identify with moving pictures unlike any other type of media.  Like other forms of art, movies help define us by how we interpret the artist’s work.               

 The purpose of this project is for you to identify and explain why you have selected a particular movie as your favorite and then examine more closely the impact that movie has had on your life.  This exercise is intended to be part of your personal history, to be passed on to friends and family members for future generations. 

This exercise is 12 pages long and asks 30 questions to help you identify some of your life stories as seen through the lens of your favorite movie.
