Do you enjoy watching movies? Do you enjoy watching movies for free? Then you should check out the monthly LACM Classic Film Screenings held by the head of the Communication department, Timothy Skinner.

The LACM Classic Film Screenings occur in lecture hall Room 102, in Titchener Hall at 4pm. The event runs until about 6pm. Four movies are shown during the semester, three movies with sound and one silent film. The films are chosen from the American Film Institute’s list of Top 100 movies of all time. This month’s movie was the silent film, “Modern Times” by Charlie Chaplin. While the movies shown in the previous months were “Star Wars (1977)”, and a Double Feature of “Frankenstein�� and “Bride of Frankenstein”. Next month’s movie is “The Godfather” and it’ll be shown on December 6th. 

The event is organized by Professor Skinner. When questioned on why he began this event Professor Skinner replied “I hope to give students a better appreciation for film, and to help them realize that films aren’t just slapped together.”. Professor Skinner also believes that this event will be helpful to students who major in Communications. He hopes watching these films will give Communications students a better appreciation for the craft. And he believes that by watching these films and learning how the filmmakers achieved various effects and the shots that they did will make them better Communications students.

Another attendee of the event was Nick Faiella who was attending the Film Screenings for a film analysis class he is taking. He stated that he greatly enjoyed Chaplin’s “Modern Times”. And when asked what his thoughts of the Screenings were he stated “It’s definitely something I’d consider going to again.”. 

Therefore if you’re a fan of classic movies or maybe if you’ve never seen them before, you should definitely stop by the LACM Classic Film Screenings to watch next month’s movie. They’re gonna make you an offer you can’t refuse.
