1. Buñuel's film, The Phantom of Liberty 1974 -- a curious politeness reversal and lots of other reversals and situational curiosities. What's private is public, what's public is private is just one of them. There is a scene where guests arrive, are invited to sit around a table surrounded by toilets for their social interactions and when they are hungry they must politely excuse themselves and go off to a hidden cabinet to eat. A very interesting and challenging film. Link to see the segment Eating could be impolite on Youtube: http://bit.ly/9BP9Z9

Released by New Line Cinema, Pleasantville stars Tobey Maguire, Reese Witherspoon, Marley Shelton, William H. Macy, Joan Allen, and Jeff Daniels. Don Knotts, Paul Walker, Jane Kaczmarek, and J. T. Walsh are also featured. Has ending focusing on politeness and behavior rules for the community.
