Quest Courses – Spring 2023 / Performing Arts / CLASSIC MOVIES
Coordinators: Howard Salik, Marian Friedmann, Bobbie Gold, Vince Grosso
Get ready to explore some of the very best movies of all time. Whether you’re a highly cine-literate film enthusiast or a casual fan, these are the movies everyone should see at least once, or maybe more.
Each presenter will choose from among the top 100 Hollywood and foreign films — dramas, comedies, thrillers, action, horror, sci-fi, and romance. They are all available online and across major streaming platforms.
We will consider their artistic merit, how well they’ve aged, re-watchability, and ask the question, “Could a movie like this be made today?”
A WEEK / WEDNESDAY / 1:00 – 2:30 PM
