HUMANITIES 1103: APPRECIATION OF THE FILM AS ART
ANOKA-RAMSEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE
FILM LIST WITH ONLINE AVAILABILITY

Here is an alphabetical list from which our course's films are drawn.  You will not have to watch every film on this list; please see the course Schedule for the titles of the specific films you must view for this semester.

Because we are working together in an online environment, it is your responsibility to acquire and view the assigned films so that you can complete class assignments by the due dates listed on the course Schedule.  Be sure to consult your class Schedule frequently and carefully plan ahead.

You may choose to rent or buy DVDs of the required films, or you may rent or buy them for online streaming.  The fees required to buy or rent films is a built-in part of our course--a viewing lab fee, if you will.  To help minimize your viewing lab costs, it may be beneficial to comparison-shop for each of our titles.  Some sites require that users have a subscription to the sites in order to buy or rent movies, while others may allow single-use streaming.  Sometimes movies are only available for purchase at some sites, while they may be rented and streamed from others for less than the cost of a movie ticket.    It is entirely possible to keep your viewing costs to a minimum.

The table below indicates the film title, the release year, the director, and the online availability of each film.  Be sure that you are viewing the correct version of each film, as some films have been re-made, or share titles with movies of completely different content.

The key for the Online Availability column is as follows:

N = NetFlix
A = Amazon
AM = Android Market
I = iTunes
H = Hulu
