La scoperta dell'alba/Discovery at Dawn (2012, Susanna Nicchiarelli) This was the closing film at the first annual Euphoria Film Festival at USC. This is a really good time-travel film.
Les amants de Montparnasse (Montparnasse 19) (1958, Jacques Becker)
Trust (1990, Hal Hartley)
God Help the Girl (2014, Stuart Murdoch)
Dance of the Maize God (2014, David Lebrun)
Top Short Films

Emilie Muller (1994, Yvon Marciano) Video link
Frida Kahlo & Tina Modotti (1984, Laura Mulvey, Peter Wollen)
Brother (2000, Adam Benjamin Elliot)
Mur 19 (1966, Mark Rappaport)
Honorable Mentions:
Maidentrip (2013, Jillian Schlesinger) Even though the subject of the documentary has disowned the film, everyone else seems to like it.
Why Be Good? (1929, William A. Seiter) Every so often, AMPAS (Oscars) will present a newly restored Colleen Moore film. This was pretty good. Her character was a little less tame than usual.
Rocks in My Pockets (2014, Signe Baumane) Latvia's submission to the Oscars this year. It is not only an animated film that deals with mental illness, but has a good shot at being nominated this year.
All This Mayhem (2014, Eddie Martin)
The Devil and Miss Jones (1941, Sam Wood)
She's Gotta Have It (1986, Spike Lee)
