Film: The Breakfast Club. | Director: John Hughes. | I Like: The use of the High School as a set. The stereotypical costumes representing the different High School cliques shown in the film. 4.Film: American Beauty. | Director: Sam Mendes. | I Like: The idea of informing the audience of the main characters death at the beginning of the film. The attention to detail paid to the set to match Carolyn's character. The almost Over-use of light to give the scene's that fake suburban atmosphere.
