Ten Films That Changed America
October 06,2012

While most movies are mass-produced entertainment and escapism, there are some that have had a profound impact on culture. Whether intentionally or not, some films have brought social issues to light, affected laws, forwarded ideologies both good and bad, and generally changed the course of history through their impact on society. Renowned Yale Film Professor Marc Lapadula will discuss ten films that, for better or worse, made their mark:

 
The Jazz Singer, I Am A Fugitive From a Chain Gang, The Graduate
The Wild Bunch, Easy Rider, The French Connection,
The Exorcist, Jaws, The China Syndrome, Annie Hall
 
 

Marc Lapadula teaches at Yale University’s Film Studies Program, and has taught at Columbia University’s Graduate Film School, Johns Hopkins and the University of Pennsylvania. He has lectured at The Smithsonian Institution and many other venues. Former students have written: (500) DAYS OF SUMMER, THE HANGOVER,THE BREAK UP, BRIDE WARS as well as several other highly successful films.
