Just comparing and contrastic different school experiences. (Please state your approximate location)

For me (Went to school in USA):

  • Frozen
  • Shrek
  • Tangled
  • The Pianist (it was a history class)
  • All the President's Men (jounalism class in highschool)
  • The Wizard of Oz? (I think)
  • Idk the name, it was some "day of the dead" animated Spanish/Mexican kids movie about some "land of the remembered" and "land of the forgotten. (Just googled it aparantly its called "The Book of Life") (Shown in like every Spanish class ever)
  • There was some movie about I think it was a hispanic singer, I think it was Selena. (Shown in a Spanish class)
  • The Maze Runner
  • The Giver (watched after the class was supposed to read the book The Giver, I kinda just skimmed it tho)
  • Memento (only watched part of it because I was depressed and I missed a session of class)
  • Dispicable Me
  • The Incredibles
  • Monster Inc
  • Toy Story
  • Some animated fish story (Finding Nemo I think?)
  • The Rat Chef In Hat Story

That about all I can remember.

I never liked watching them, being forced to watch a movie against your will immediately ruins whatever it is.

  • For some reason we watched Beauty and the Beast in junior high
  • In my grade 9 (or maybe 10, can't remember) Social Studies class we watched Not Without My Daughter
  • At the end of the school year in grade 10 we had those few extra days with no curriculum, and we watched Se7en (no idea how this was allowed)
  • In grade 10 we saw Romeo + Juliet (I think it had just come out on VHS and we'd just finished reading the play in English class)
  • Cool Hand Luke sometime in grade 9 or 10, don't remember why
  • Grade 11 we saw both The Great Gatsby and Othello in English class

I'm sure I'm missing some but these are the ones that stick out to me

The Great Gatsby

Lol they showed the movie that has Leonardo Dicaprio in it, the story was so fucking boring that my brain just deleted it, its not even worth taking up brain space.

Ah, we got the Robert Redford version. I had to google the dicaprio version because I didn't even know it existed!
