So, I work with kids.

I'm looking for movies that would inspire discussion.

Ages are between 12-18. Recommendations don't have to apply to all ages. Like a rec can be for +15. Nothing too gruesome or too complicated though.

Some of the stuff I already got listed:

* Precious
* La Haine
* La Promesse
* L'Enfant
* Boys Don't Cry
* Ben X
* The Believer
* Entre Les Murs



Needs lots more.

Thanks

The Pianist?

Yep. Could be good.

Need moar.

Oh, well : Life is beautiful

Children Who Chase Lost Voices
5 Centimeters Per Second

/edit: for that matter, you can't go wrong with any Shinkai film

* Precious
* La Haine
* L'enfant
* Entre Les Murs
* La Promesse

* The Believer
* Boys Don't Cry
* Fish Tank
* 4 Luni, 3 Saptamâni si 2 Zile

What exactly do you mean by "inspire discussion"? What type of discussion? Any movie can be talked about...

I guess he means a movie to question moral/core beliefs and provoke constructive debates ^

Hate monkey you a teacher?

A short stay in Switzerland
We need to talk about Kevin (18)

Nah, social worker. Work in an institution for kids atm. Literal translation would be a 'welcoming, observation and orientation centre'. Basically, kids with all kinds of social problems (skipping school to neglect to abuse and worse...) whose home environment is deemed unsafe are temporarily placed with us (4 months max). Kids and parents are counsiled and observed, after a couple of months we make an assesment of the situation and recommend a certain kind of action.

Also, no 18+ stuff. Already taken some movies of the list after discussion with collegues (for instance Boys Don't Cry and 4 Luni, 3 Saptamâni si 2 Zile). Anyone know some movies about gender-identity that don't have too explicit scenes?

A short stay in Switzerland might be good though.




Thank you.
