EXCO 456 - Cult ClassixCo

1 credit
The purpose of this course is to explore the culture around cult movies. Often well-known in niche communities, cult films occupy a distinct space from the wider world of mainstream cinema. Cult classics frequently have many intricacies that are seen intuitively, but can be difficult to explain concretely. We hope to look at why and how specific cult classics have become popular with particular groups, and what they all might have in common. Movies that we watch and discuss include The Room, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Candyman, Jennifer’s Body, and many more!
