...one of the English teachers was a film history nut.
My sophomore year, he got admin to approve a 1 credit elective for a course in Cinema. (The catch was it was after hours, twice a week.)
He rented the movies in 16mm, and showed them in our AV room. This was one where we watched & discussed in pieces over 4 sessions. Mankiewicz was awfully critical to the film.
Took that class for 4 terms. I'm thankful I did that to this day.
