Film discussions of the “Greatest Films Ever Made”
with Beth Pessen, Gerald Bray, Fred Weinberg and Judy Langer
Tues. April 15, April 22, April 29, May 6, 2:45-4:00 pm
Every ten years, the British Film Institute magazine Sight And Sound conducts its celebrated worldwide poll, asking more than 1,600 film people (critics, academics, writers, etc.) their choices for the “greatest films ever made.” The NY Times reported on the results of the latest poll (2022) recently and showed the top 100 winners. We thought, wouldn’t it be great to watch or rewatch a few of these and explore why so many people think each is a “great” film? Each session will be led by a different teacher. We are not experts, we are not critics, and we don’t teach film. We are film lovers, interested in learning more.
