Just putting in a plug for my professor, Matthew Fox, who is teaching this course this semester at Rutgers. I took it my junior year and loved it. We watched a different movie each week (Quo Vadis, Gladiator, Monty Python, to name a few) and spent class time discussing the political/social history, and film critics' reviews on each movie. Professor Fox is the best I've had at Rutgers in leading class discussions.
This class is what sparked my interest in the Greco-Roman world of the New Testament which is now what I wish to pursue in graduate school.
It's a 3-credit class, I believe, and the workload is very light (mostly readings + a few short papers). It only meets once a week, though at an off-campus location. If you have a car, it is definitely worth it!
