I'd be interested to hear more from the administrators who wouldn't let him run his program how he wanted to run it. Were they just being trolls or was he causing problems for everyone else at the school? Anecdotally (not so much from my ow

To me, this list doesn't seem out of place here. Here's my stab at why: I've seen a few of these movies, and if the rest of them are in the same vein: they make you work to figure out what's happening in the film; and they sometimes mess wi
