“I would probably be “Second Hand Lions” because it’s not a very well known movie, but it has a lot of heart and a lot of soul. The characters are very kooky but very relatable. It’s about this young boy whose mother drops him off for the summer to live with his two crazy uncles who, apparently, have come into millions of dollars. And they had been absent for 40 years; nobody knew where they were. So, it’s his story of coming of age and learning the truth behind where they were all those years. It’s very heart-warming.”Madeleine Collins, freshman, international business

“My favorite movie would be “Amalie,” which is a French movie that won an Oscar for best foreign film, in 2000 I think. I like it because it doesn’t look like most other movies that are made here. The other reason is it’s just very charming and light-hearted and memorable. I saw it years ago and I still remember it and think about it. I thought it was a good movie that addresses some fundamental things that never really get old.”John Diorio, senior, mathematics
