4. Shakespeare ReTold [DVD] [2005] DVD ~ Nick Malinowski

9. To Kill A Mockingbird (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD] DVD ~ Gregory Peck

The list author says:
	"It might be an oldie but it works in class. Many points of comparison with the text and good as a means to bridging from textual study to a broader analysis of racism."

10. Lord Of The Flies [1963] [DVD] DVD ~ James Aubrey

The list author says:
	"Not an ideal adaptation but far superior to the later version. Worth watching the final scenes in isolation, rather than watching the whole film."
