3432 - Guilty Pleasures: Films to Watch Over and Over (Robin Bernat)
Course Description
Instructor: Robin Bernat
This is a light-hearted look at some favorite films -- ones meant to distract in turbulent times. Each week, class participants will view two films available on Amazon or another streaming service. We'll get together on Zoom on Mondays to discuss the two films.
Films not available for free on Kanopy.com will have to be rented for small fee on Amazon or other streaming service.
