Destry Rides Again “Destry cleans up the town of Bottleneck with a mop, some well-aimed jokes, and a pair of six-shooters in this romantic comedy western starring James Stewart and Marlene Dietrich.”

What About Bob? “Two of my favorite actors, Richard Dreyfuss and Bill Murray, team up in this hilarious 1991 classic that is essentially a collection of comedic miscues involving a psychiatrist who is pursued to the point of insanity by his admiring, yet very neurotic patient.”

—Pat Kerrigan, vice president, communications and marketing

“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind follows a heartbroken man as he undergoes a procedure to have his ex-girlfriend erased from his memory. At its core, however, it is a quirky love story that reminds us why all of life’s experiences, good and bad, are worth remembering.”

In America “Jim Sheridan brings to film the story of a family in search of a home—a home in America, a home in midst of tragedy, a home at the center of their hearts. This amazing film invites you to encounter the family in this story as a vehicle for grace, joy, sorrow, redemption, and hope.”

—Earl Madary, associate professor of religious studies and philosophy

“The Constant Gardener is a love story with both social and political messages that may leave you feeling helpless and suspicious of the power of both corporations and governments. Its plot unveils a pharmaceutical company’s drug testing on unsuspecting HIV positive patients in Africa.”

—Denise Probert, associate professor of business

“Microcosmos is a French documentary that gives you an amazing glimpse into the often overlooked world of insects, snails, and other small creatures. Don’t be put off by the cover—while it is appropriate for kids, it is a quiet, artistic, and beautiful film that can be enjoyed by all ages.”

—Jennifer Sadowski, assistant professor of biology

“The Long Walk Home is a sleeper of a film about the 1955–56 Montgomery bus boycott starring Whoopi Goldberg and Sissy Spacek. The film captures the time period, and in doing so, demonstrates how the real “stars” of the civil rights movement were the grass roots participants.”

—Michael Smuksta, associate professor of history
