our teachers gave us notes and notes and notes on the topic and articles/papers on the texts. Yours should have too, I will flick through it and note the websites and tell you.

Three Colours - Blue, White, Red
Run Lola Run
Natural Born Killers


and as for books

The Name of the Rose - Umberto Eco
Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson
As I Lay Dying - William Faulkner
Midnight's Children; The Satanic Verses - Salman Rushdie

She also said that The Simpsons is pretty postmodern.
But if anyone has anything more to add to the list, please do so!
