Film Studies is both an undergraduate and a graduate program. There are several Masters programs in film / cinematic studies. Two of the strongest are at NYU and at Columbia. I believe that Berkeley may even have a Ph.D. program in film studies.
Most graduate programs in film studies do not require that you major in film studies as an undergraduate in order to pursue a graduate degree in the field. However, a (somewhat) relevant major would probably help you in the admissions process. This could include a variety of liberal arts majors, including art history, history, American Studies, or English. Biology or chemistry would probably be less useful, but they would not make your application look bad.
NYU, UCLA, University of Southern California, Columbia for Masters, Berkeley for Masters, maybe Ph.D. - NOTE: I believe that Berkeley is purely film STUDIES, not film MAKING.
