Welcome to Dziga Vertov’s 1931 masterpiece (and headache), Enthusiasm: Symphony of the Donbas .

Few movies capture the raw energy of enthusiasm quite like Jack Black’s Dewey Finn. He is a failing musician, but his passion for rock and roll is absolute. The movie’s thesis statement is that enthusiasm is a valid teaching tool. When Finn teaches a class of prep school kids about rock, their transformation from studious to wild is the cinematic definition of "catching the bug."

: The moment where passion meets reality, often leading to a spectacular success or a tragic crash. Iconic Examples of the Genre
