Help with Great Film Project for College

[seabterry]

My wife has this project for school and is looking for ideas. She is hoping that you guys can help with films and topics. I am also hoping that whatever gets picked, I get to buy on Blu-ray if I don't already own it.

The project is that you must pick a movie and a topic within that movie to compare or contrast. One example that was given was the movie Full Metal Jacket. The student spent his entire paper on whether the drill sergeant's uniform was accurate. I gave a few examples myself. End of Watch and actual police training and maneuvers. There Will Be Blood and oil drilling at the turn of the century. Another idea is The Exorcist and how to the film portrays an exorcism v/s a real exorcism.

Hopefully, these examples were enough. I would love to see some great ones from the movie minds here.

Ready? Set? Go!
