3. That's a good point. And, a good song.

I wonder if the way to handle it in this sort of class would be to pass out a syllabus on the very first day, detailing all the movies that will be shown, perhaps with a brief imdb summary, and suggesting that students concerned about being exposed to material that might be upsetting or objectionable to them personally- since everyone is different- do some further research into the titles so they can preemptively and discreetly opt out or request an alternate assignment.

Now if the class were "history of cinema" and someone was bothered by, say, Citizen Kane, im not sure how you would get around it...
