This is my favorite class I have taken at UCLA in the two years I've been here. I am a computer science and back when I was still pursuing a film minor I took this class and wow it is just so good. The lectures are super engaging and if you love talking about movies you will love this class. The movies we watched were really fun too (Raiders, Iron Man, Mean Girl, Lego Movie, School of Rock). The final was a super easy 20 question final based on the text book (only like 15$). We had quizzes based on the readings but if you are like me and HATE reading, don't worry because if you are even remotely interested the book is fantastic. I attended one of Prof. Albaugh's lectures for an upper dive where he had the author of the text as a guest lecturer and it was one of the best lectures I've ever been to. You workshop with a TA to produce a 10 page script using what you learned and it was really fun. I'd recommend this class to everyone who is remotely interested.
