VHS : Black Orpheus
This movie has long been among my favorites. Had it been in English it would get 5 stars. It is this reading that takes away from the beauty of the film. Gritty and real. For me, knowing the story, I really don't have to read, and I can focus on the unusual Beauty.There are some flaws but what it clearly does is gives you a sense of place. You ARE in Rio during carnival....and if you can watch this movie without once getting on your feet...you just don't get it. Enjoy!!

2.Suor Omicidi starring: Anita Ekberg, Paola Morra, Alida Valli, Massimo Serato, Daniele Dublino

VHS : Suor Omicidi
Awesome soundtrack, great performances, nice and disturbing nunsploitation at it's finest. Lots of really graphic violence and nudity. Lots statements about organized religion. Recommended to fans of Italian horror and sleaze. This one is tough to beat!

VHS : Charlotte Forten's Mission
Frail, sickly and from a free Black family in Philadelphia no one could imagine that Charlotte Forten would risk her life to teach on the Sea Islands of South Carolina prior to Emancipation. Charlotte Forten was no ordinary woman. She defied her family and challenged the white missionairies to send her to help her people as they undergo the process of becoming free.

Melba Moore stars as this brilliant heroine who is determined to make a difference in spite of all the set backs she must endure. Charlotte shares with us her brief time in the islands where she learns how to overcome distrust, how to appreciate the religious faith of the newly freed slaves but most of all how to love with her heart. Charlotte has much more in common with the white missionairies than the former slaves but ... Read More

VHS : Bonhoeffer (B&W)
I've used this video to expose young adults in our church to great Christians. Bonhoeffer's journey speaks to many issues my students are grappling with: war, political engagement, the role of the church in society. There is great insight as you watch Bonhoeffer keep his focus on Christ and engage with the world around him.

9.Der Vogelhändler starring: Cornelia Froboess, Georg Thomalla, Peter Weck, Maria Sebaldt, Albert Rueprecht
