For about 40 years, from the ‘30s to the ‘70s, Alfred Hitchcock built a reputation as a cinematic master of suspense. His name was synonymous with sophisticated, exciting, engagingly complex movies that were guaranteed to thrill. Hitchcock delighted in playing games with the audience, seducing them into little traps, then laughing at their red faces. He has been imitated many times, but no one has yet exhibited Hitchcock’s understanding of the film medium. In this course we examine what makes Hitchcock’s movies so enjoyable and yet so disturbing. We study how Hitchcock worked closely with his writers, cinematographers and composers. We view four examples of Hitchcock’s best work in order to discover how and why they had such a profound impact on the movie industry and on American culture.

CT 3211 - The Films of Woody Allen
(1)
From joke writer for television stars and newspaper columnists to stand-up comic, to playwright, to ground-breaking film director, Woody Allen has consistently recreated the borders of American humor. A self-defined social misfit, his special brand of cynical parody and devastating understatement has developed into a level of absurdist theater that ranks with the best observers of social manners. His films, typically disjointed, contain a great many moments of comic brilliance, encompassing Jewish humor, jokes turned on himself and an endless parade spoofing filmmakers, authors,and philosophers. We will study four Woody Allen films, showcasing what makes his comedy so unexpected, so unsettling. We will analyze why he is one of the very few American directors who can be counted on to make an interesting film every time.

CT 3212 - The Reel West
(1)
We will take a look at the Western film as historical document-what it told us of the settlers and soldiers, the women, the gunfighters, the politicians, the law and of course, the American Indian. We will probe the controversy over and sometimes highly falsified view given to audiences by the movies, and attempt to resolve the question over whether or not these movies had any responsibility to be historically accurate. We will also study the Western and discover its very distinct rise and all, while attempting to determine why the western no longer appeals. To that end, we will watch several important examples of western filmmaking.

CT 3220 - Screening Science Fiction
(1)
Contrary to a popular misconception, science fiction is not necessarily about other planets, or alien invaders, or wars in outer space. It is about us, the people and institutions that shape our world and our future. Perhaps more than any other genre, science fiction is a barometer of the times. In this course we look at four science fiction films that probe the dynamics of the constant struggle between our sometimes vaunting aspirations and the often exorbitant price we must pay for them.

CT 3230 - The Horror Film
(1)
Why do we like to be scared? There is nothing truly attractive in fear, but perhaps horror literature and film are so popular because for most of us, we are never more alive than when we think we are being scared to death. With horror films, the fear is actually twice removed-it is not happening to us, and it is not really happening at all. Horror films seem to confirm our worst anxieties and give substance to nightmares, yet we know we will awaken unharmed. This course focuses on the history of this peculiar yet durable genre from the Frankenstein monster phase to the exorcism craze of the mid-1970s and the recent blending of horror and high fashion. Analysis will center on what these films speak to in human nature that causes their continued appeal.

as historical document—what it told us of the settlers and soldiers, the women, the gunfighters, the politicians, the law, and of course the American Indian.

To that end, we will watch several important examples of Western filmmaking.

CT 3250 - The Dark World of Film Noir
(1)
Film Noir (black film) is, with the western, the only truly American contribution to world cinema. It usually centered on a hardboiled American cop, detective, or insurance man who finds himself in a sick society—going into its darkest corners, ferreting out corruption. The greatest threat to the Film Noir hero is not his male antagonist, but a Medea figure who can draw him with her witchlike powers into evil. Lasting from the mid-1940s to the mid-1950s, film noir reflected a transitional period from the dislocation following World War II to the complacency of the Eisenhower years. This course focuses on four examples of Film Noir. Analysis will center on what made the films so evocative of its era and so popular with audiences even today.

CT 3260 - History and the Movies
(1)
For most people, ideas about history come not from textbooks or scholarly papers, but from movies or television. Although motion pictures have sometimes blundered, distorted and downright lied, still, at their best, they have given a vivid and memorable picture of the ages to an infinitely wider audience than traditional historians such as Tacitus or Gibbon. At a minimum, historical films have shown history more faithfully than they have been given credit for and as it was never seen before. This course engages students in viewing and analyzing films with historical events as their organizing principle.

CT 3270 - The War Film
(1)
One of the most common and tragically enduring behaviors of human beings has been to wage war. From ancient times to the present, there always seems to be an excuse for nations or individuals to ritually destroy each other in the name of politics, commerce, love, or very often, religion. As it does with most major events, the motion picture industry has attempted, with varying degrees of success, to capture the horror, the glory, the sadness of war. All war films deal with the whys and hows of warfare, in an effort to answer the haunting question: why do we have wars? This course engages students in viewing and analyzing four examples of war era films, some involving combat, some merely the effects of combat, as answers to that question.
