My Piano Teacher's Movie List...

This is a list of all the movies that my piano teacher recommends. Or as he said, "when you don't know what to rent...". He's like, the smartest person I know, and an amazing teacher, with a pretty great taste in movies if this list is any indication. So I thought I'd share!
