Nice to hear someone wants to actually THINK about movies instead of just make them. So much of film business and education of future filmmakers is controlled by the people who analyze the films.
On a slightly different subject...
I hope people reading my first post and thinking I'm down on film schools. I didn't go, so I can't really talk abou the experience of being there. I didn't even get interested in film until after I had graduated from college. But I have met a lot of people who did go, and I've taken a few classes.
It all comes down to your approach and knowing what it is you're trying to get out of it.
