CLEVELAND, Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- This spring, Cuyahoga Community College's Office of Community Continuing Education will show an assortment of old movies on a big screen as part of its non-credit Movie Appreciation Series.

-- "B'Ware: Bad Film Directors from the 50's and Beyond," will run on Wednesdays from February 28 to April 18;

"Movies are not only a treasured part of our cultural heritage, but are also a window to the ideas and emotions of the period and media culture that they emerged from," says instructor Greg Klayber. "We can use these familiar and unfamiliar films to illuminate our perspectives of the cultural perceptions and fears of the 'American of decades ago.'" Klayber has been a film aficionado since his childhood and has acquired an extensive collection of movies, which he often uses to produce outdoor film festivals.

Course costs are as follows: "B'Ware" is $109, "Science Fiction Re-Makes" is $129, "Horrid Musicals" $79, "Powerful Performances" $65, and "Cinema Dystopias" is $105. The cost for the whole series, when registering for all five courses at once, is $450. To register for any of the courses in the Movie Appreciation Series, call (216) 987-3075.
