Select a film (or group of films) and film genre from a specific decade and write a 3 page analytical paper detailing that film's and that genre's influence on American and global culture - both then and now - and how culture, in turn, influenced and shaped the cinema. While you should feel free to use both primary and secondary source citations, in these papers I am interested more in your critical thinking and the use you make of your research than in your prowess with footnoting (which I hope you have already developed in your English classes).
