Certainly if you are interested in using film in courses Joe's books are the
best way to proceed!

Subject: Using Film as a Teaching Resource
The discussion of using film scenes to show aspects of leadership sparks a
response from me to consider how much farther we can take film use in
teaching. The suggested films for leadership are right on the mark but one
can carry film to almost any topic.
My recent work has expanded into Human Resource Management and Strategy.
Plus I am pushing hard into the cross-cultural area and international
management. Today, for example, some creative French students here in
Rouen, France used the closing scenes from L'Auberge Espangnol to visually
portray repatriate culture shock. It worked!
Some noted the copyright issues. Two responses: I give a link below to
some of my papers, one of which discusses copyright issues. Also, Thomson
Learning now has collections of liscensed film scenes that one can use
legally in all teaching environments. Go to
http://champoux.swlearning.com
to see the collections. The 3rd edition of my OB text integrates film
scenes directly into the text.
The liscensed film scenes can also legally come into Internet based
courses, as I have done with my on-line courses. I give a link below to my
syllabi to show how and what I use.
Animated film has a special place for me. It is not "light fare";
exceptional stuff out there include the mentioned Finding Nemo. I also
suggest Monster's, Inc. which I used yesterday to show an assessment
center with the opening scenes. Shark Tale works well also.
Just some thoughts.
