The Things I Saw In Film School

By: Cameron Buckley

Below is a list of all the films I have been assigned and watched since starting film school. It will be constantly updated, and I will include course names and numbers.

Hopefully, one can use this list to create their own at home film studies courses.




Notes

I did not include films that are listed in other courses (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was seen in several classes, for instance). Courses with (in progress) are currently being taken.

This is an interesting list. I might make one as well. Although, in my classes, full films were not always shown, so I'd have to make the distinction. I always like learning what everyone else is required to watch. Especially since I hope to teach film one day.

I'm interested in seeing The Great White Man of Lambaréné; what did you think of it and the other African films? Are Mizoguchi and Japan on the curriculum?

    The Great White Man of Lambaréné was very interesting, and quite beautiful. I'm writing a larger review on the film right now, and it'll be on the mubi page for the film soon, if you want to know more. As far as Japanese cinema goes, I've seen quite a few Mizoguchi films, but I have yet to take a course on the subject. Unfortunately most of my courses are production/pre-production, so my chance to learn about specific film groups is limited. I'll certainly be on the look out for a class on Japanese cinema!
