A great selection!! A couple in here I'm unfamiliar with. Have you seen Detachment, with Adrien Brody? I can't remember the director's name right now, but it's an interesting film even if far from perfect. Also about a teacher.

I admit I'm a little upset that Another Country is an adaptation of something I haven't heard of as opposed to James Baldwin's INCREDIBLE book of the same name, but we can't all win constantly! Haha.
