Usually the films we are forced to watch in school are borderline on boring, at best! Have you been lucky enough to be forced to see a good movie?
Mine would be:
One flew over the Cuckoo's nest
American History X
A Clockwork Orange
Breakfast Club
Good movies you were forced to watch in school?

Life is Beautiful (I cried so hard)
Those are some of my favorite movies!
The only movies I got to see in school (apart from on end of term days) were Romeo and Juliet (old and Di Caprio versions) and the opening 10 minutes of Saving Private Ryan & The Longest Day.
The old Romeo and Juliet was great though. It showed you Romeo's bare ass and the girls were all "" about it as they got to check out a dude's ass and then BAM! Titshot! Now what, bitches!
These are film we ended up liking, right?
In that case, I saw "The Land Before Time" at school and it now one of my favorite films.
Also I saw a bit of "Final Destination" (the time ran out), but I just thought it was people dying randomly - it wasn't 'til I saw the 2nd one years later I realized the full side of the films.
It's funny, because we watched it in school while some old lady was subbing and paying no attention, then I switched schools and ended up watching it again and apparently our English teacher had never seen it, and she looked up to see why half the class was going "ooooohhhh!" and she was shocked and she was several months pregnant at the time (and was already very large when not pregnant) so she wasn't able to get out of her desk quickly and was having a panic attack over all us 17 year olds seeing a dude's bare ass and the entire class erupted into a roar of laughter at this big fat lady trying to get out of a student desk, and wondering how she fit into it in the first place.Originally Posted by Psychotic

She quit teaching at our school after that year.
I watched Ordinary People in my high school psychology class. I loved that movie, and the book was even better.
I watched so much of Sister Act2 in the 8th Grade that I'm sick of it for life.
Other ones that I can remember were shown to me that I liked were Gangs of New York, Saving Private Ryan, Pocahontas, 101 Dalmatians, The Birds, Finding Nemo (7th grade), The Odyssey, and umm umm. I don't remember the name of this movie but it had that guy who played in Training Day I think. It was set in the future and the main character's dream was to be an astronaut, but he had a heart condition.
In the future, people are rejected jobs based on their genetic make-up. It's illegal, but it's done all the time. Employers get your DNA, by taking saliva samples from a glass you drink or maybe a strand of hair. He entered the space program by going as another person. He used that man's identity by borrowing dna samples from him. somebody has to know what I'm talking about.
Gattaca!
Had to watch it for a science class. Loved it.
Worst movie I ever had to sit through in school was The Birds.
I liked A Streetcar Named Desire a lot. We were reading the play you see. And then the teacher and I fawned over a young Marlon Brando
W... wha... the Hitchcock?Worst movie I ever had to sit through in school was The Birds.
Yes, that one. Had to watch it for one of my English classes. Nearly barfed.
I never saw movies I liked in school. I got to see some films people consider to be wonderful classic but I felt the films were terribly cheesy and boring.
Born Free and It's a Wonderful Life mostly come to mind... Smurf you Jimmy Stewart, you and your silly voice that makes every role you ever play feel like the same character.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Your taste is utterly alien to me
Apollo 13 and October Sky!
I had to watch those too! They weren't too bad.
I don't really remember any good films I had to watch, in Year 11 we had to read Of Mice and Men for GCSE and we watched the film of it, that was quite amusing.
♥
Watched the K Bran Hamlet a few months ago, it's awesome
Also, my French teachers organise various cinema trips for us to go on and we saw a film called Le Premier Jour du Reste de ta Vie and another called Entre Les Murs. Hand on heart, two of the best films i've ever seen.
