Art School Confidential (2006)

It didn’t do so well at the box office, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth a watch. Directed by Terry Zwigoff, the movie tells the story of a kid named Jerome who leaves his suburban hometown to pursue an art career at Strathmore College in New York City. Jerome is obsessed with drawing and determined to make a name for himself in the illustration field. Along the way, he discovers the reality of the art world and how he must adapt to become successful.

Bill Cunningham New York (2011)

This movie profiles veteran New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. Well into his 80s, this Harvard University dropout was well-known for pedaling around Manhattan on his bicycle, “simply taking photographs of what people were wearing.” He became famous for doing this, and his work has been featured in the Times, in Women’s Wear Daily and the Chicago Tribune.

Pollock (2000)

A movie where the director also plays the main character? Sign us up!
