>>71889217
The Crucible but that movie was awesome.
ghandi took a whole week
2 movies we were always shown were October Sky and Freedom Writers. October Sky is really good, but Freedom Writers is a bunch of shit.
We also got shown Payu it Forward a couple of times and that was also a bunch of shit.

>>71889217
>10th grade history
>studying the American Revolution
>teacher is like 25, pretty chill
>he decides to show us The Patriot because the marking period was wrapping up
>only get through the first 45 minutes one class
>come back the next day to gleefully watch more Mel Gibson killing redcoat scum
>someone ratted him out and he got in trouble
>we just got a head's start on the next chapter instead
I wonder to this day why someone would do that.
october sky. Every fucking year it was october sky. Homer will always a disappointment to his father
I took Sociology. The teacher was some douchebag former fratboy chad who was just out of college and he couldn't teach for shit. We watched movies literally everyday. We watched
Mean Girls
The Breakfast Club
The God's Must Be Crazy
Castaway
Joe Dirt
A whole season of Survivor minus the season finale
why are you guys acting like getting shown movies during school was a bad thing?
Three fucking times.

>>71889217
>A Bridge Too Far
>Wind Talkers
I took the class because I liked the material and I even liked the movies she chose since there were kino as fuck but she was a bitch and her "tests" were shitty and required you to know very specific details of the movie that even while I was paying attention and dumb basketball americans making jokes the whole time and fell asleep magically passed.
God I hated high school. Thank god Darren Mc"sitonmyassandgetshovedthroughhighschool"Fadden got through though.
October Sky
Remember the Titans
Stand and Deliver
Why does this poster look like the animorphs stuff?
Our English literature teacher showed us the R-rated extended cut of King Arthur as an example of Arthurian lore and heroic poetry. It was awesome.
The geometry teacher had to cease his class for us to finish the movie and got pretty butthurt, which was a plus.
>>71889757
Jesus Christ, get over it faggot.
>And what are you? So full of hate you want to go out and fight everybody! Because you've been whipped and chased by hounds. Well that might not be living, but it sure as hell ain't dying. And dying's been what these white boys have been doing for going on three years now! Dying by the thousands! Dying for *you*, fool! I know, 'cause I dug the graves. And all this time I keep askin' myself, when, O Lord, when it's gonna be our time? Gonna come a time when we all gonna hafta ante up. Ante up and kick in like men. LIKE MEN! You watch who you call a nigger! If there's any niggers around here, it's YOU. Just a smart-mouthed, stupid-ass, swamp-runnin' nigger! And if you not careful, that's all you ever gonna be!
>>71889828
I am over it. Just taking the piss out of it all. Let me breathe, nigga.

>King Arthur
>Meet Joe Black
For fun
>Spider-Man 3
>Iron Man

School was pretty fun.
Anyone else have to get permission slips signed to watch these movies?

Hey I watched that too. I love that movie!
The Wave
Lorenzo's Oil
Shakespeare in Love
White Fang
The Pianist
>>71889933
I remember this happening a few times for R-rated movies, but then I had some teachers that just didn't give a shit
>>71889936
Best movie in this thread
>philosophy teacher picked 2001 over blade runner
![amadeus-22[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/e5ImGEO.jpg "amadeus-22[1].jpg")
Albeit with instruction on which parts weren't historically accurate.
>>71889217
yep, watched this in school. regardless, it's a brilliant film.
>>71889217
>lazy teachers
Hungover teachers anon.
>>71890174
Bueller is the worst part unfortunately, I think the movie would be much better with just supplanting him with literally any other actor.
he's so lifeless.
history was still boring af
Dr. Strangelove for AP us history.
We begged for it, actually.
>>71890214
what is it about history teachers and drinking? I can count at least a dozen times in high school where a morning history teacher had a class where he drew the shades for some reason.
>>71889621
Because /tv/ is the kind of fag that reminded the teacher to assign homework.
![xw14foa[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/NMxX6Qc.jpg "xw14foa[1].jpg")

oh god dammit it's this isn't it? half of you faggots where that guy
>Miss Clarence?! Miss Clarence! I think you forgot to assign us homework!
>Miss Clarence!? I believe you were supposed to collect our papers today! Miss Clarence?!

I'm Norwegian and in our German class in middle school we watched Run Lola Run and Das Boot.

Heh, my brother is a teacher and he does this shit.
>out drinking with him
>getting late
>"hey don't you have work tomorrow?"
>"fuck those little shits! I'll just play a movie."
>>71889310
saw october sky in the theaters as a kid, then saw it again at school in like, 6th grade. i think october sky was the first "real" movie that i was blown away by. haven't seen it since 6th grade, though.
>>71890249
Because being a history teacher is the kind of job that attracts a special kind of least-effort individual.
Math and science you might have to know something, and english/lit is for ladies and homos generally speaking.
>>71889621
>>71889509
>tfw every history class watched this in eighth grade except mine because the teacher knew he sucked and didn't want to go through the hassle of permission slips
>>71889787
>Stand and Deliver
I had to watch this twice and nothing has been able to cure my boredom since.I got excited when he had the heart attack because I thought the movie was over.
>>71890147
...so the whole thing?
Was in a class of all seniors except one junior and we convinced a substitute in law class to put on Troy just because the DVD was in the room. That was pretty great.
Junior year every class had to read The Great Gatsby.Based teacher let us watch the movie instead.
>>71889757
>God I hated high school
that's apparent by your horrendous run on sentence. good lord
>>71890309
SOME OF US ARE HERE TO LEARN!
I'll never watch this again
School of Rock
I swear it was like the only fucking movie our band teacher had. We watched it like 15 times.
>>71889933
No. And our teacher even paused the video of romeo and juliet to make sure we knew we were about to see tits, and that they belonged to a 15 year old girl, and that it is totally okay because this is school.
>>71889288
Surprised more people haven't said this yet.
It was literally school, the film.
Also
>Gattaca
>The Patriot
>the first fifteen/twenty minutes of Amistad
>The Crucible
>Much Ado About Nothing
>a few parts of JFK
>Apocalypse Now
And... I shit you not
>The Island
What I wish we watched in school
>The Killing Fields
>The Mission
>A Man for All Seasons
>>71890234
Watched this in US History during my freshman year of college. Prof said it's his favorite movie.
>>71890650
>the beta kid ran around the rest of the day asking everyone what they thought about the tits
That was actually hilarious because our teacher said there would be nudity, but not what kind. One chick raised her hand and said, "Is it ass? 'Cause lady ass is fine, but I'd rather it not be man ass.""Oh great, it's man ass."
Freshman English, man.
>>71890147
We had to choose between this one, Mr. Holland's Opus, and Music of the Heart in orchestra class.
Imagine a the giggle levels of a room full of sixth graders when he's putting his face in boobies and calling that girl a shitwit.
my history teacher showed us
Enemy at the Gates
Zulu
Bridge on the River Kwai
and a few others I can't quite remember (maybe Das Boot or Red October, and bits of Saving Private Ryan).
He was actually a very challenging teacher but also my favorite high school teacher by far. He was in the CIA (just a desk job) during most of the cold war and wasn't afraid to call out the bullshit in our textbooks on the rare occasions he used them. He had all of us read the 9/11 commission report in it's entirety for homework. I wish there were more teachers and professors like him
>>71890829
>The Killing Fields
>mfw I found out Haing Ngor was an actual survivor of that shit show
>>71890581
>Teacher tries to teach us recorder flute
>Says we need to practice at home
>None of our parents were having that shit
>Teacher gave up and put School of Rock on twice before the end of the school year
Music class was a mistake
>>71890650
I remember our teacher showed us some drama movie about a teenager in a wheelchair who had some terminal illness, and his friends took him to a prostitute who had a great set of tits. Teacher just joked about it. I think it was with Leonardo Dicaprio. Anyone knows the name of this movie?
>>71891085
You think it was worth it?
Really kills the ending when you find out they were repeatedly sent back to the camps.
>>71889217
>Couldn't rememeber what it was called
>Typed in "movie about guy voting for president"
Google is a magical thing
>>71890329
ayyy same here m8
we also watched the truman show in a psychology class which was pretty cool
>>71890329
Me too but it was in my lit class of all things.
>Permission slips
Do Americans really do this? Here the teacher just warns us the might might have graphic shit and whoever is jumpy is free to leave.
>>71889933
Only time was for Schindler's List
>>71891485
I did if it was rated r or pg-13 when i was in middle school. Though my school had mormons and quakers who's parents would have thrown actual hissy fits.
>>71889257
I wish my teachers let me watch Eagle Eye senpai its essential Shiacore.
>>71890829
Yeah I had to watch The Island for a class when the teacher was out
>Teacher wants to show us Paul Haggis' Crash, the movie about racism.
>Asks some friend to download the movie
>Doesn't bother to check
>Puts in the player
>The guy downloaded David Cronenberg's Crash, the movie about people that fetishize car crashes
That was a fun day.
>>71889217
Watched Apocalypse Now once in a college politics course.
I can't even remember why, but fuck yeah it was the director's cut.
>IS THE LAW ON OUR SIDE IF I SAY 'I'?!
NO
>>71889677
I miss Humourist Michael Moore. He made that gay Columbine movie and was never the same.
I went to a christian school so we watched a movie about a couple of hillbilly sherrif dealing with their faith, dead daughter, and helping a jobless spic.
Forgot the title but has anybody here watched it?
>>71891700
Haven't seen Cronenberg's version, but it probably was better than Haggis'.
That film was utter shit.
>>71891700
Crash was terrible, it didn't deserve the Oscar at all. If it were any more ham-fisted it would have been Satrielle's from The Sopranos.
>>71891872
This.
For fuck's sake I think Brokeback Mountain is overrated and didn't deserve all its praise... but even IT was a better film than Crash (Capote was better than both though imho).
>I was bruised and battered.
Always, every fucking time, it was The Brave Little Toaster. I have seen it so many fucking times at this point and I hate it. I hate that smug little toaster fuck and that pansy blanket douchebag and that lamp and radio that never shut the fuck up. God they piss me off. The only one I could ever stand was the fucking vacuum only because he was a dick to the other appliances sometimes, but even then he was still annoying. The only joy I get from that movie is the fact that I'm sure by now, they're all scrap metal. Fuck The Brave Little Toaster.
>mfw my Social Studies teacher showed us Zulu when we were learning about imperialism
man, he was based
I watched The Year of Living Dangerously in an AP history class. It's a great movie if you haven't seen it. Great Mel Gibson movie
Apocalypto
>>71890650
A high school is an appropriate place to see 15-yo tits, you don't need a permission slip
;_;
>>71892007
>fuck the one and only reason the Toy Story franchise was conceived
Good work.
>>71892007
>hating the Brave Little Toaster
WHAT IN THE FUCKING HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!
>>71890249
History professor, can confirm that we're pretty much all alcoholics. A lot of us homebrew. So do the folks in the philosophy department. Can't explain it to you though.
>>71891757
>DO YOU BITE YOUR THUMB AT US SIR
if my teacher showed me the 1996 Romeo and Juliet with Dicaprio, I'd have taken the reading of the book seriously.
But, I didnt.
>>71892280
Not that anon, but Toy Story is overrated. Plus the fanbase is obnoxious as all hell.
Also the ending to TS3 is literally ripped off from "Toaster".
>>71890352
History teachers know a lot, but unfortunately all people want to hear is shit which confirms their own biases. History as a profession, from academia to museum work, is one of the more high-effort/low-reward career paths one can engage in. You do it because you love it.
I suppose you could argue high school history teachers have it easy but outside that, it is DEFINITELY not a low effort thing.
>>71890136
>blade runner over 2001, kill yourself faggot
>>71890249
maybe hes like me and hates the sunlight in general. I'm a night owl
I have never read a shittier book in my life. Peck's monologue was the only good part of the movie.
This is considered so culturally significant in America that schools require it.
>>71892428
>calls TS trilogy overrated
>doesn't mention the sploogefest of quality CGI animation brought forth from Toy Story's penis.
Brave Little Toaster is the slightly retarded grandfather of Pixar and animation as we know it
>>71892690
>moved around schools and to different countries growing up
>never read or seen this
>had to read the good earth like 9 fucking times
>>71889621
>Sit there and watch whatever shitty movie your teacher, a teacher who shows movies in classes, who by default is the scum of the Earth, thinks is just the tits
>Can't sleep, can't doodle, can't do anything but stare at the screen
>Getting up, walking out the door, going down the street and getting a job and making money during school movietime hours is literally illegal
>"""Freedom"""
>>71892837
Just watch the movie you crybaby faggot. you think Pol Pot let his schools show movies in class?
>>71890650
>teacher tries to fast-forward past this part
>ended up on perfect freeze frame of those nipples
>>71892837
Wow your life is so tough. Those guys in China have nothing on you. You're essentially a prisoner.
My fat gym teacher played it
>>71890077
>Lorenzo's Oil
what a shit film
>>71892888
>>71892938
>X gets criticized
>Better change the subject to Y
So X is good because of Y's demerits? Is that what they taught in your school, to aspire to mediocrity because at least you're not those losers across the street
America is a loser. China is a loser. Keep existing in the past so you can have the illusion of being relevant to a period that can't argue in it's defense.
>>71893184
>America is a loser.
I would love nothing more right now than to know what country you come from.
>be in catholic school
>The Passion comes out
>forced to watch it
>>71893214America
>>71893263
COMPLAIN ABOUT AMERICA, AND DO NOTHING TO BETTER IT!
YOU ARE THE WORST KIND OF PERSON
>>71893295
You're the same. At least my opinions are less shitty.
>be history fag
>swim coach is also my World History teacher
>what should we watch for our unit on the Crusades, anon?
>K-kingdom of Heaven?
>mfw she agreed
>>71893345
Please God tell me it was the Director's Cut
>>71893339
At least I'm not a fucking loser who hated when the teachers showed movies in class. I bet you even told the teacher when she forgot to give us homework, huh you little sack of faggot's excrement?
>>71893345
I hope you at least watched the director's cut.
Essential SchoolKino?
>>71893376
>>71893390I brought it in
>>71893417
based
>4 hour Exodus DC never ever
>>71889451
this is probably the worst non-b-movie i've ever seen.
I got to choose our final movie to watch during my senior year of highschool, and choose pic related.
>>71890136
The latter would require permission slips n shit which is a hassle
>8th grade Spanish
![67238[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/PtVh0i4.jpg "67238[1].jpg")
Did anyone else only watch certain scenes from movies?
We saw the final scene of Gallipoli for example.
>>71892524
I love history, but am terrible with dates. Will this fuck me up royally if Im ever pursuing a degree for a high school history teaching position
>>71889217
Its funny because it tries to pretend blacks played any significant role in gaining their freedom.
>>71893769
this was the norm for me. for example, we only watched like 3 scenes of 1776 in US History
movie is based though
>>71893654
I had an english teacher in high school who I am 90% sure based his entire class on wanting to be robin williams in this movie
>>71893769
pearl harbor- the good parts
he literally told the class the rest of the movie was trash, including the operation carried out at the end.
He was yankee teaching an 8th grade english class at a southern school.
He didn't give af. He pronounced water "whudder". One of my fave teachers i've ever had
>>71889217
In health class we watched "Awakenings" with Robert de Niro.
Watched Amadeus in AP European History.
And watched vegitales, Joseph and the technicolor coat, Prince of Egypt, Fireproof, and a couple other movies blanking on in Religion class.
And finally we watched Waiting for Superman for politics.
>>71893921
>history class *
>philosophy teacher picked 2001 over blade runner
Neat soundtrack, neat cast, spoopy atmosphere. I liked it.
>>71889284
I hated that movie
>>71889411
All the girls must have been so confused during that class
>>71890147
I vividly remember this movie from freshman english. It was incredible. Everyone though it was a really good movie.
>>71890329
Same.
Though saw princess bride and ferngulie more in school.
>>71892730
>forgets that the "sploogefest" of CGI animation has directly led to the death of hand-drawn animation in all forms
I honestly wouldn't have such an annoyance w. Toy Story if Pixarfags weren't so fucking obnoxious.
It's good, but I've never really understood why it's considered a masterpiece outside of, like you said, the technical advancements.
Forgot this gem.
Cheesy as fuck but goddamn so I have a softspot for this movie.
Definitely one of my guilty pleasures.
>>71890927
Was that chick a dyke. Man ass is bretty good sometimes.
Every holocaust movie ever made
Rocky IV
Cinderella Man
The Core
Volcano
Stand and Deliver (I like this movie and would never know about this movie if it weren't for 8th grade math class)
Actually most of those were past grade school but whatever.
>>71893601
How'd your class react?
>>71893921
water - whudder is the Delaware Valley accent, pretty common fyi
in a senior year holocaust and social justice themed class with a jewish teacher and >50% jewish class
we also debated humanitarian intervention vs national sovereignty and learned why whites should be guilty
>>71893607
>"Great fun. I loved it!"
This is so sad and happy
>>71894586
I switched schools twice between 6th and 8th grade and it was Schindler's List all three times
BIG FAT LIAR
Forrest fucking gump
Rudy
That boring jfk movie
Inbetween playing sudokus in math.
Romeo and Juliet.
THAT version.
She didn't even bother trying to hide them 14-year old boobies.
The Southern Baptists threw a fieldday and the teacher continued not giving a fuck and did it again the years after, just as she had the years before.
Every year on the day before Christmas break
>>71894798
>That boring jfk movie
>>71889217
I had a computer teacher that fucking loved John Q. I had him for two classes and this was fucking high school computer back in like 04 so we wrapped up 2/3 of the way through and we ended up watching that movie like 10 fucking times during two semesters.
>American History class
>America is the hero
Willy Wonka
teacher was retiring at the end of the year. made us watch "Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift" every day for a week before break once. smashed his computer with a hammer on the last day. cool guy

Damn I'm sorry
>>71894727
Are you going to school in israel?
>>71895765
I love that fucking movie. Leo deserved the oscar for that.
If only teachers could show films that both teach you about he subject and actually are entertaining to watch
>>71895987
We watched iron and silk in mandarin class. Based as fuck Pan lao shi and his iron fist.
>>71894989
I like JFK but god damn, it should not be shown in schools. That movie takes a hell of a lot of liberties.
>>71889284
>>71890077 (The Wave)
>>71890329
>>71889288
All of these plus The Green Mile, Romeo & Juliet, 300, Volver and Shrek 2
>>71889451
I'm a substitute teacher who had to play the first 45 or so minutes of the movie for every period of Junior High day. I browsed /pol/ for most of the day after the first two periods, behind my desk while the kids watched it.
grade-A Irish kino
>>71892690
Literal shit taste, anon.
>>71894586
Cannibal Holocaust?
