Mover posted: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 Same thing happened in history class when we watched Galipoli when they had that scene with the soldiers taking a bath in the ocean and there being so many butt shots. Or Civics teacher also made us read Barry Goldwater which is always great to read in a class about how the government should be working. In Latin class we watched The Mission for some reason, I didn't really care why, because The Mission is a really really good movie with some of Ennio's best work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oag1Dfa1e_E achillesforever6 fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Jan 11, 2017 |

Our teacher told one of us to go to the movie room in the library and pick something out, so we watched The Sandlot. I don't suppose anyone remembers a series of science videos where the information was presented through framing sequences in a white, maze-like, cgi museum?

Lobok posted:Sean Connery's one handsome motherfucker. My tenth grade history teacher stopped giving a gently caress the last couple weeks of school so we watched a bunch of random flicks, including Entrapment, featuring a very old Connery hitting on Catherine Zeta-Jones. She eventually married Michael Douglas in real life, so maybe it was less creepy for her to do than for the rest of us to watch.

In a college PR/media relations class I convinced the professor to let use watch Wag the Dog which she had never even heard of. Needless to say she gave me a couple of angry looks during the movie. We did have a decent discussion afterwords so it turned out all right.

We watched the 60s Romeo and Juliet freshman year of high school. Sophomore year we watched the Omaha Beach sequence from "Saving Private Ryan" in history class. Senior year we watched "Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke" in English class. EDIT: Oh yea, 7th grade algebra, our lovely algebra teacher showed us "Stand and Deliver" to inspire us since we were giving him a hard time the entire year. Instead, we took the hard time further and we ended up mentally breaking him and he never taught again. VoodooXT fucked around with this message at 06:26 on Jan 11, 2017 |

We watched Stand and Deliver in 7th grade math. I left very inspired, but still haven't learned calculus  Supersize Me came out while I was in high school and we watched it 4 times because teachers kept assuming we hadn't seen it yet. I really hated it after the second time through. The movie we probably watched the most in school was Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, several times just in elementary school. They let us vote on what we wanted to see and it won, a lot. The school did a thing where we decorated the classrooms once a year based on a book so in 4th grade we had a very movie influenced classroom decorated with a shitload of colored paper.

The only movies I remember watching in school was Run Lola Run for German class and Schindlers list. The latter being watched on a bus during a school trip to Auschwitz. I think we also watched some movie about the Polish resistance in Warsaw but I can't remember the title or much of it.

The movie I was shown the most in school was Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I hated that movie even before I had to watch it four more times. Could have been worse, though. In elementary school they showed us Pete's Dragon repeatedly.

Hmm, no one else watched Amadeus in music class? Did that twice; it is punishingly long, but it's probably one of the best biopics ever. I remember watching Grease and Monty Python and The Holy Grail too. No nudity there. In band class, we watched a lot of PG 13 movies, good and bad (10 Things I Hate About You, Lost In Space, Home Alone 3, Mr. Holland's Opus [because of course]). But I think my favorite was my Theater/AP History teacher, who showed us movies to prepare for our plays, two of which were Jacob's Ladder and The Fisher King. Thanks, Mrs. N!  To bring this all back to bad movies, Youtube has been trying to convince me for weeks that The Bye Bye Man is totally the name of a respectable and awesome horror movie, and not something that makes me giggle, for going on two weeks now. To no effect whatsoever. The latest one implied they'd by "taking Friday the 13th away from Jason!" and I'm just,

The Bye Bye Man might not even take away Friday the 13th from Underworld: Blood Wars. One of these days, Nicolas Refn will direct an artsy remake of the Underworld franchise called Blue Filters Over Prague.

I got to watch "What the &%$! do we know", but to be fair to the teacher, she apparently had no idea what the hell it was. She turned it off after the part talking about how because native americans had never seen ships before, they were literally invisible to them and that's why they all got killed. This was also the class where we had to give a speech about what we did over our summer vacation that I didn't write, so I talked about the video game Chromehounds for half an hour and somehow convinced one student I was a robot-piloting child soldier and the same grade where I convinced my ap history teacher to let me play Civilization IV for a semester and write a report on it (Egypt's armies got eaten by bears). As it turns out rural schools are pretty garbage. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Jan 11, 2017 |

Wasn't in school, but I was in band and interested in music theory and watched Amadeus on my own (probably over two sittings) and loved it. Still love it. Historical veracity aside, Salieri is such a great character and the Requiem composition scene will stick with me for a long time.

I had a middle school history teacher who for some reason decided to show the class Top Secret!, apparently unaware of what that movie was. He turned it off during the Anal Intruder scene.

God that movie is a piece of poo poo, some people who though it was really deep showed it to a group of us and got pissed when I exclaimed "oh, it's that deaf actress" when Marlee Matlin showed up. I guess they thought it was a spoiler because the framing story is shot in such a way that you can't tell she's deaf until the end, which is an okay concept, but don't hire the worlds most famous deaf actress if you want that to be a twist. She has an Academy Award and was a regular guest star on The West Wing for gently caress's sake.

My high school cinema class was pretty great. I believe the curriculum was The General, Scarface (the Paul Muni one), Frankenstein, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Some Like It Hot, Bonnie & Clyde, Psycho, Vertigo, Young Frankenstein, Jaws, The Godfather and The Untouchables.
