Take a look also at the films of Nancy Savoca (TRUE LOVE, DOGFIGHT,
HOUSEHOLD SAINTS).  Students always respond particularly well to DOGFIGHT,
which stars Lili Taylor and the late River Phoenix, and HOUSEHOLD SAINTS,
which also features Lili Taylor and Tracey Ullman.  Savoca is very much
concerned with the perspectives of different kinds of women, particularly
in an Italian-American context.
 
Good luck,
