Eh! Frank posted:My high school World History teacher showed us Schindler's List without any kind of parental permission or whatever, but it was a class full of freshmen and sophomores who didn't give a poo poo so he never got in trouble. He would also go through every question before every test, reviewing the answers, so it was just about impossible to fail a test. Did I mention this was a pre-AP class? Almost same. I think we did have to have a slip or something, I don't remember. But it was the first time I saw the film and I thought it was incredible. Everyone got mad at the black and white which made me laugh.

Schindler's List was released when I was still in high school, so we never saw it in class, but our world history teacher gave us bonus credit if we brought in a ticket stub from going to see it. e: we got the same deal for Malcolm X

WENTZ WAGON NUI posted:Haha I forgot about Stand and Deliver. I got that in Spanish class plus West Side Story. In spanish we got to watch Antonio Banderas movies. Usually just Mask of Zorro instead of actual spanish ones, but that was fine by me, that movie rules. The scene where a mexican lady needs a translator is still goofy.

I love that all the same films come up in school viewings. I know we saw The Name Of The Rose, Schindler's List and Romeo + Juliet. The biggest exception was when our teacher in elementary school decided that we should watch The Seventh Seal, which is pretty awesome in retrospect, but I dont think it went over well at the time.

I had to watch this short movie in class for some reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Summer_in_a_Day It still haunts me to this day, much as The Red Balloon does.

In middle school we watched Life of Brian in religion class, and The Twelve Tasks of Asterix in history class (it's a very strange and trippy movie).

In third or fourth grade our music teacher tried to show us West Side Story but someone complained do we only got to see the first like 20 minutes. My junior year of high school someone's parent flipped poo poo over the book Snow Falling on Cedars so we didn't get to finish that book

Parents are bunch of morons. If your kid can't handle The Name of the Rose your kid is poo poo and you failed as a parent. However I do understand parents being upset ABCs of Death but only because it is a bad film.

When we watched the 60s Romeo and Juliet in 9th grade English, when Juliet rolls out of bed and you see her boobs for a fleeting moment, one of my friends exclaimed, "Yeah, now that's what I'm talking about!" He's now a pastor.

Of the movies watched in high school classes, I think the one that stands out most for me was the assignment to write a response paper to the opening of Top Gun. "Danger Zone" as an anthem for the proletariat.

We watched the Antonio Banderas Zorro in my high school Spanish class. Also Cool Runnings because in the teacher's eyes, if we had the determination to learn Spanish like they did to bobsled, we'd learn Spanish through shear force of will. Same reason why we watched Iron Will.

We saw Usual Suspects in English class and had to notice all the hints. We also saw a bunch of movies when our history tescher got sick: the Dreyfus Affair movie with Richard Dreyfus, loving Pearl Harbor, Schindler's List, a bunch of documentaries. In french class we got to see Lumumba and Apocalypse Now.

I had a film class senior year of high school - good times We also got shown Romeo + Juliet in sophomore English and Jurassic Park in Biology. A lot of kids (mostly chicks) shockingly hadn't seen it - so the goat leg freak out was pretty priceless. Actually, poo poo, we also saw Fall of the House of Usher (Corman) in junior English.

We watched Romeo and Juliet in like a big school assembly and they tried to, like, zoom in on her face or something during the naked stuff so that we wouldn't have to stop the movie or cover it up but someone hosed up and we got a big screenful of nipple

Off topic for the thread but on topic for the thread, was there any actual word on how the Fantastic Beasts sequels are going to actually play out? Because I finally saw the first one and...I honestly don't care if we ever see most of those characters again. The leads were incredibly uninteresting and the series would be greatly improved by just ignoring them and making it an anthology of magic in the 20s-40s.

Our history teacher showed us Hamburger Hill and Platoon, all while graphically explaining what they got wrong and what they got right. He also ranted for an entire class about Rambo 2. I think everyone in the administration were too afraid of him to say anything.

The only things I believe we know for sure is that Dumbledore is in the next one and the last movie takes place in 1945.

I had a vietnam vet history teacher in Sophmore history. He was pretty chill though. Once in a paper I wrote something like "Jack Kennedy believed that..." and he circled it in red and wrote "you didn't know him that well!"

My fourth grade teacher decided to close out the year by showing us Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings. The really trippy aspects of that movie are what stuck with me like the photo negative Orcs and the psychedelic wizard duel (well that and Viking Boromir which affected the way I perceived the story when I actually read it for the first time).

Edit: Speaking of Connery, we got to watch You Only Live Twice in high school chemistry once, but only because I had it on me. Something went wrong with the teacher's lesson plan or the supplies were missing, and he was wondering what we could do. I was just like, "uhh, I have a James Bond movie in my bag" so he wheeled in the TV and we watched it. Lobok fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Jan 11, 2017 |

My freshman or sophomore English teacher had us watch Grumpy Old Men. Took two classes to get through but the payoff of the end credits with Burgess Meredith just killing with outtakes. No idea why she chose that.
