Jackie, that was "Gulliver's Travels", not "Gilver's Travels", glad to see that you were paying attention.
Back in the day, yes it was a long time ago, when I was in high school we got to watch the odd movie, but it always had something to do with the subject matter.
People have stated that they have seen :
The Patriot in history, which although was supposed to occur during the american revolution is so historically inaccurate that it should never have been shown anywhere near a history class.
Taxi Driver & Man on Fire in computer class. Neither of these have anything to do computers and just show that the teacher was incredibly lazy or incredibly unqualified for the position.
Kill Bill Vol.1 and Ferris Bueler's Day Off in English , what the hell do these have to do with english class?
No offence to the people who watch these movies in school, but it is no wonder that kids are a whole lot less educated if this is what is going on.
Some schools show films in class at the end of term day before school breaks up, it's like a treat instead of doing work in that lesson on the last day.
I can remember watching The Full Monty in Chemistry class on the last day of school before holidays.
Nothing to do with the lesson, but it's no harm since it's the last day, having fun.

Also, my fiancee is taking software classes at the local college and she said on Tuesday they all watched an actual Microsoft Movie starring Bill Gates. It's actually a real movie. Anyone heard of this?
Actually, the movie is called Triumph of the Nerds
That one where the guy carves a piece of wood into a tiny Native American Indian sitting in a canoe. Then he puts it in the river and it just keeps going and going down the river, it survives all four seasons, freezes in winter, thaws and continues down the river in Spring. Then, one year later, the guy's son like pulls it out of the water or something.
Also, The Red Balloon.
