I entered this list into a random number generator and got a better ranking.
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

Hey Polisky since I’m a bit crunched on time I’d thought I’d crowdsource - does any have a favorite book for a research design and qualitative research course? Im wondering if there’s a good book that covers both, and hopefully limit my pouring over 50 books that are maybes

The federal govt has supported theater since the 1930s, as a Great Depression program. Federal assistance is not a sign of frailty but is baked in to how this art is shared.
At the same time, we need to see how this theater has become prohibitively expensive.

Lit reviews convince the reader that your work matters by showing what it does and where it fits.
An engaged, earnest reader will approach your paper with “there are 8 million papers on X, what’s new here?” Your lit review better answer that question.

Most literature reviews miss the point.
Not because they’re sloppy.
But because they treat the literature like a box to tick.

Trump promised “all hell would break out” if Hamas didn’t release the hostages in January and issued his “last warning” in March. And now it’s April. And here we are. While he romanticizes the Holocaust, the remaining hostages prepare for a second Passover in captivity.
Trump: "I said to [the former hostages], was there any sign of love? Did Hamas show any signs of, like, help or liking you? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? Like what happened in Germany."
