Gender and Sexuality: The Philadelphia Story
I would actually put that under "Social Stratification".
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I think it works under either, depending on your focus. I was thinking of all the men's treatment of Tracy, especially her father and Dexter claiming that her failure to "act like a woman" (my words describing their sentiments) causes so many problems.
But if you center on the very class-conscious Mike or George, Social Stratification also works.

Oh good god.
I read "The Philadelphia Story", but my brane translated it as "Philadelphia".

I think the movies should be fairly newish and not too obscure. but I'm going to throw in a few classics where they really fit the theme.
Thanks again everyone, this is very helpful.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I threw in Monsieur Verdoux because I just saw it and really liked it. Charlie Chaplin in a comedy about a Bluebeard. Truly weird and truly wonderful.

Gender and Sexuality: Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Crime and Deviance: Dressed to Kill (De Palma) [this could fit under gender and sexuality as well]
Technology and Society: Sliver, Cloverfield
Religion: Wide Awake
Social Stratification: Gattaca, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride
Also, Strega mentioned Cronenberg's Crash, which could fit under Technology and Society in addition to Gender and Sexuality.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone said Heathers, right?
Yeah, I skimmed. Possibly skipped. Wanna make something out of nothing? I means--it's patently impossible with the differing number of letters.
And also, the drugs talking. Way too much effort to search.

I think I saw Heathers on the list.
