Hint: theres boobs in this one. This was confirmed when one of my classmates jumped up, rewound, and paused on the scene, much to the embarrassment of the sub that was there that day


Zefferelli version. Olivia Hussey was amazingly beautiful. We watched that one in one of my english classes as well. In fact I think the exact same thing happened in my class...

It was mostly historical movies or movies based on a book we just read, so we really got none of that stuff.

In 8th grade we talked our teacher into letting us watch "Tommy Boy" that someone had brought in. Was awesome.


That was the best day ever when the teacher planned on a movie day, and someone just so happened to have another choice in their back pack.

I can remember during standardized testing week they would encourage students to bring movies and other forms of entertainment to keep us occupied after testing was over with that day so the office didn't have to deal with a mass exodus of students checking out. The voting of the movies by the class was one of my fondest childhood memories. And that feeling you got when the movie you brought won the election, better than sex

I remember seeing The Abyss for the first time in science class.

They showed The Outsiders about once a year.

Nah. I'm going to assume that this happens in classrooms across the country then.

in high schoool i happened to have the program with me on movie day, the sub at the time had no idea what it was. We made it all the way to Alvin Mack's rant on the field before she shut it down.

We watched the movie Black Robe to learn about the Jesuit missionaries to the First Nations people in Canada.

There was a scene when the group was captured by a hostile tribe, and a native girl in their group had to seduce a guard.

Another teacher happened to knock on the door right as she got topless. I've never seen someone run so fast as he made a mad dash to turn off/cover the TV.

In freshman year lit class, the previous class (a film class) was watching Boyz in the Hood. Our class was going to watch Romeo & Juliet, but i switched the DVDs.

The teacher turned off the lights without noticing and pushed in the DVD. The first words were something along the lines of "motherfricking n***a".

Teacher flipped shite and I blamed on the sophomores who were in his room between class periods. That is my most memorable movie day at school.

I watched most of the 90s Disney movies in Spanish. I know I've Lion King 3 or 4 times in Spanish, never seen it in English. We watched All Quiet on the Western Front in my senior history class which was cool.
