The Piano (1993) explores the intricacies of family, relationships, and disabilities that can build on themselves or tear each other apart.
Cry-Baby (1990) directed by John Water, captures the stereotypical 1950s teen movie feel along with the classic war between the "Squares" and the "Drapes" in the most ridiculous way possible.
Almost Famous (2000) directed by Cameron Crowe tells the somewhat true story of a teenage journalist who follows a band that definitely doesn't trust journalists.
Tank Girl (1995) directed by Rachel Talalay gives some interesting commentary into a post-apocalyptic future where two women, a child, and a group of super soldiers have to face the men in power to restore water to the environment.
Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009) is the first in a series of Mega Shark vs. that follows a team of oceanographers and paleontologists as they uncover monsters that should have gone extinct centuries ago. This movie, completely with its low ratings, can be shockingly serious at times, no matter how ridiculous the story sounds.
Pulp Fiction (1994) directed by Quentin Tarantino is a brilliant use of non linear storytelling through unlikely relationships
Cinema Paradiso, directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, is based on the true story of the director and his mentor who taught him about movie projectors.
The Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny (2006) is a wild ride of conflict, friendship, and the twisted influence of the devil in rock n' roll.
The Big Lebowski (1998) is an incredibly strange movie with twists, turns, and resolves you would never expect. Listen to one college kid's reaction after she watches it for the first time.
From the documentary Spellbound (2002) directed by Jeff Blitz.

Public relations is a delicate balance of handling all levels of the public, and nowadays the media does not make it any easier.
Advertising is a part of media whether we skip over commercials or not. It is still important to understand why we see the ads we do.
The Internet is used for everything from social media to video games to advertisements. The way you choose to interact with them determines how you interact with the world.
TV aren't stationary boxes in your house anymore. The shows you love are anywhere, at anytime, in any place.
