    In class it was always

    • Shrek
    • Shrek 2
    • Remember the Titans
    • Jurassic Park
    • Any Rando Jim Carrey Movie

    Although in grade 9 law class we got to watch Heat, Dirty Harry and My Cousin Vinny, that teacher was cool

      You got to see real movies? All we ever got was, like, PBS Nova episodes or A&E documentaries. No worksheets; but I got to learn about Ray fuckin’ Kroc years before they made a movie about him.

        Oh yeah we had those too. I totally forgot about A&E, those tapes were around for sure. And a lot of stuff from the National Film Board, I think the schools in Canada got that stuff for free or something.

        • Butting into your conversation to leave a wee link for any film lovers scrolling by. The NFB’s a public producer and distributor, and the catalogue’s free for everyone.

          You need a license to use it in class or have a public showing, but you’re right - many schools have that already set up. Buying DVDs for the classroom will cost you, though.
