Movies with sociological content?

Question

Hi, I m currently the vicepresident of a Sociology student group.

We're planning on having a monthly feature called Sociolgy Movie nights in which we'll show films with Sociological content, followed by a discussion guided by someone specialized in the field related to the theme of the film we watch.

But right now I can't think of a film that's worth being analyzed.

So if you have any suggestions, please tell me.

Answer 1

City of God (Cidade de Deus)

Great movie, based on a true story about a boy growing up in Rio de Janeiro slums.

Answer 2

Breaker Morant.

Its dated, but its got everything you are looking for.

Strongest Country on the earth using military force (Great Brittian, in this case); a colony of the empire (Austrailia) trying to break free on its own; a suppressed local culture; a "kangaroo" trial for political purposes, a mix of religion, and on and on.

Enjoy.

Answer 3

Hedwig and The Angry Inch

Dr. Strangelove

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Forest Gump

Crash

Boys Don't Cry

Gangs of NY

Wag the Dog

Walk the Line

8 mile

these are just a few. There are actually a lot of different movies for different sub-topics of scociology...Feel free to email me if you want more info.
