Course Description

Why were the 70s the last golden age of American cinema?  Those films, made mostly by young, up-and-coming filmmakers, successfully broke all the previous rules of how Hollywood movies were made. FInd out how they pioneered the use of taboo-breaking subject matter and hired actors who looked more ‘ordinary’ than previous stars. Discover or re-visit the decade’s classics, such as The Godfather I and II, Nashville, Taxi Driver, Carrie, and Jaws -- movies that make today’s mostly pallid American entertainment look dull and out-of-touch.

Learning Outcomes

  • Learn what was fresh about the films of the 70s. 
  • Discover why they resonated with film-goers. 
  • Appreciate a wide-ranging and very diverse group of films. 
  • Understand why we likely won’t see such movies from Hollywood again.
