Crappy movies you watched in school

[Jordacar]

Kids always like watching movies. Sometimes school teachers sit their young students down to watch an educational movie, or a venerable film classic. But sometimes it's clear that the teachers just like their students to shut up for 80 minutes while they go to the playground and smoke weed, so they'll throw on the latest flavor-of-the-week disposable piece of celluloid.

That being said, what less-than-classic movies do you recall enduring while you were attending grade school?

I had to finish watching Pay it Forward in first period, which sucks so bad.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Some crappy CPR movies on health class. I'm still thinking though.

Every math class up to Pre-Cal somehow had this movie playing. Even the characters seem like their going to fall asleep.

 

[CashforStash]

Shakespear in Love

Oh yeah............. when the teacher was like "I'll beat the s*** out of you"... all the eight graders in my auditorium gasped in shock.

LOL Ditto!

The movie is pretty good, though.

I remember them showing us Titanic, Hoosiers, West Side Story, Steel, Street Fighter, The Nutty Professor, Baraka, A Lesson Before Dying, and The Italian Job...

[cerealkiller182]

Rebecca....its pretty well regarded I believe. It is an old hitchcock afterall. I just found it boring.

The same class we watched Stand By Me though so yeah not all bad

i think nearly every person who has ever been in a math class in highschool has had to watch that .... good movie, but gets old after a 2nd viewing.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

we had to watch Beowulf... the horrible 90's one where it was like in the future, yet still middle ages.. it was horrid

 

[Vapor]

In english we had to watch Romeo n Juliet, the DiCaprio one and Of Mice And Men, the one with John Malkovich and Gary Sinese..

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Argh....too many. Wimbledon (yes, THAT one) Osama, Valentin, Jeux D'Enfants, Enduring Love, The Crucible....Ranging from arthouse to mainstream.....it was all ****.

 

[Commodore Schmidlapp]

In middle school my stupid art teacher would pop in Bushwacked like 5 times a year.

 

[CFE]

Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo & Juliet"
"Dead Poet's Society"
"West Side Story"

----

These are the films previously listed that don't belong...none of those are 'Crappy' at all.

----

In school, I've had the fortune of getting to watch, sometimes for the first time, these films:

"Equilibrium"
"Death at a Funeral"
"Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope"
"Clash of the Titans"
"Little Miss Sunshine"

----

The only film I loathed watch was "In America" ... *shudders* What a bore.

Super Size Me

It was funny the first time, but it got old watching it again. . . for the fourth time.

 

[Kahoot]

We had one teacher that would only show the class one movie no matter the time of year of the age of the students, we always watch Casper. It's a U movie and so no one's parents would complain even though we were in our later years of school and some of us were late teens. We couldn't watch a 12 movie or a 15 coz a parent might complain even though we were 16 or 17 maybe even 18.

I do remember that there was a math class one Easter that we all got to watch the first 35-40 mins of The Matrix. I was well annoyed coz I'd never seen it and Neo had just got the “The Real World!” I had to find out what was going on.

 

[Incrediblejeff]

Monster In Law,and to make it worst it was a bootleg.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Every math class up to Pre-Cal somehow had this movie playing. Even the characters seem like their going to fall asleep.

Best example of "It's funny because it's true" hahaha

I'm pretty sure I've seen Glory with Morgan Freeman more than once in school too.

 

[thedeadite]

I remember them showing the movie Condorman in grade school. I'm pretty sure they showed it to the entire school every year that I was there.
