His picks:

The Long Grey Line (1955) One of legendary Hollywood director John Ford's many masterpieces, The Long Grey Line adapts the real-life of Martin "Marty" Maher, who spent over fifty years as an instructor at West Point: America's officer training academy.

Still Life (2006) China's Three Gorges Project is an enormous industrial undertaking that has resulted in the flooding of several major urban areas, displacing millions in the process. Jia Zhangke's Still Life follows two ordinary people searching for lost loved ones in the soon-to-be flooded city of Fenjie.
