Required Films: English 498 Honors Seminar

Below is the almost final list of the films we will be using in class during Fall Semester. Some of the Scorsese films will need to be cut, but cutting is a very difficult job. His work is so varied that we need a number of titles to do justice to his achievement. The last films on both the Kubrick and the Scorsese list should be in theatres during the semester.

By clicking on the directors or their films, you can find a variety of useful information, including a complete list of cast and production credits for all the titles.

If you have comments, questions, or suggestions, please conbtact me at landon@umbc.edu.
