We have all heard certain films described as “the best” or “the greatest.” “The best movie ever made.” “The greatest silent film.” “The best foreign film.” “The greatest Western.” Even “the best movie of 21st century”...even though the century is not even a quarter finished. What does it mean to call a film “the greatest”? How are these evaluations made? Who makes them? And do they actually matter? In this engaging, six-week course, we will examine these questions and more through a close analysis of six classic films.
Class Format: lecture, discussion, and video
Assigned films (view before class): The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928), Citizen Kane (1941), Tokyo Story (1953), The Searchers (1956), Vertigo (1958), Mulholland Drive (2001)
