I agree with the Hitchcock recommendations. When I did a lecture on sound
in film for an introductory film class I also used David Lynch's
_Eraserhead_ and some very old animation films (Mickey Mouse). Using
animation worked for me because I wanted to discuss the
non-representational usage of sound in film and animation, along with
horror films, tends to be replete with it. If I had it to do again, I'd
also look into using an experimental film that used sound in a subversive
manner.

"People who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring
explicitly to everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about
love and what is positive in the refusal of constraint, have corpses in
their mouths."
-- Raoul Vaneigem
