Best film class I've taken! There is easy weekly readings of fun books like Harry Potter. Watch a film on one day and lectures and group discussion on another day. No textbook and no quizzes. One weekly online discussion that's 3 sentences & 2 papers. No in person final. McNamara is a very caring, devoted, and inspirational film teacher! Take it!

This was a great class and he really gives informative and comprehensive lectures

Dr. James McNamara is warm and approachable. He creates a friendly class atmosphere that helps to foster enthusiasticand often insightfuldiscussions. I'd recommend taking his classes. I mean, who doesn't want to have some fun while they learn?

Best professor in the department. Would take anything with him.
