Via Rob, here is the list of things the incoming USC film students are expected to have seen. I've highlighted what I've seen. We can be fairly sure I won't be going to USC any time soon.
That being said, someday I'll list the stuff that graduate students at my school were meant to have studied for the comprehensive master's exam. Then I'll highlight what I read. The results won't be shocking to those who know me, but will make you wonder about the value of a master's degree.
Anyway, the USC stuff.
