    oh, and schindler's list and the shawshank redemption. both in modern history.
    pretty much all the movies were either mh or english.

    The ones that I can remember from elementary, middle school, and high school that I liked are:

    The Pianist - Racism/Genocide/Holocaust
    Mr. Smith Goes to Washington - American History
    The Breakfast Club - Humanities
    Sybil - Psychology
    Monsoon Wedding - Sociology
    The Adventures of Pinnocchio - 1st grade
    Beowulf & Grendel - English (only liked it for completely shallow reasons)
    The Postman Always Rings Twice - Film English (the original)
    Best in Show - Film English
    E.T. - we watched this in middle school on a huge projector screen in the auditorium for no reason at all


    From college:

    The 400 Blows (words cannot express how dope this was. it's currently up on comcast on demand if you wanna watch it.)
    AI
    The Bicycle Thief (also amazing)
    Captain Positive (a student film)
    The Scarlett Empress
    The Kid Brother (hilarious)
    Broken Blossoms (so racist yet the main girl is so adorable)
    The Music Lovers
    Easy Street
    Bored Games (student film)
    The Thief of Bagdad (original)
    East of Eden
    Network
    The Purple Rose of Cairo


    And there was this foreign film we saw that was old where these four or possibly five men rob a bank. They all die at the end tragically, yet stylishly. I really wish I could remember the name because it was the best crime film I've ever seen.

    Okay, I should stop there. I can go on for days with good movies I've seen in college.

    I watched Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal in a philosophy class when I was in college; surely the greatest film I have seen in a classroom.
    They’re Europeans. I wouldn’t be surprised if their gym teachers were grading their performances in orgies.

    Oh, yes. My English class watched the old version too, and my teacher was all 'All right. I understand that we are all mature students, but I must warn you that there is some indecent exposure in this film. Anyone who may be offended by this is permitted to leave the room.'

    Of course, no one left, and everyone went crazy during that scene.
