Go Watch // Quadrophenia
"Mod is youth subculture of the early to mid-1960s, Focused on fashion and music. The subculture has its roots in a small group of London-based stylish young men in the late 1950s who were termed modernists because they listened to modern jazz."Quadrophenia By Franc Roddam, is a highly influential youth drama film following the highly notorious mods and rockers subculture of the 1960s. Produced and scored by classic mod-affiliated rock band the who, the film follows Jimmy, a mod living in 1965 London, who by day works as a mail-boy at a publishers and at night parties and drops pills with his friends all members of a mod gang, united by a taste in suits and R&B. The film not only works as a hedonistic, portrait of one of the most celebrated subcultures in the world, but also as a commentary of youth identity and materialism. There are many iconic moments within the film from the infamous "We Are The Mods!" scene to the ending upon the white cliffs, this film is exemplary of how to make a high quality youth drama, a film I believe anyone who has ever been or still is a teenager should watch.

Thriller Research // No Country For Old Men (2007)
"In rural Texas, welder and hunter Llewelyn Moss discovers the remains of several drug runners who have all killed each other in an exchange gone violently wrong. Rather than report the discovery to the police, Moss decides to simply take the two million dollars present for himself. This puts the psychopathic killer, Anton Chigurh, on his trail as he dispassionately murders nearly every rival, bystander and even employer in his pursuit of his quarry and the money. As Moss desperately attempts to keep one step ahead, the blood from this hunt begins to flow behind him with relentlessly growing intensity as Chigurh closes in. Meanwhile, the laconic Sherrif Ed Tom Bell blithely oversees the investigation even as he struggles to face the sheer enormity of the crimes he is attempting to thwart. - --IMDB user Kenneth Chisholm
