Right now i'm watching "All the Presidents Men" starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford, i think

But what did you watch in school...say what class it was for also

mine was in american history 40's-70's

My favorite movie i watched at my school was called "fu*k it" i was your mum being raped by your dad. 9/10

None of that, Wazz. Consider yourself warned.

To answer your question, "Ben Hur".

great film.

Shawshank Redemption would be mine

The Killing Fields - watched in English class
West Side Story - watched in English class
Macbeth - watched in English class (Roman Polanski version)


That's all the full films we got to watch when i was at school that I can remember liking.

didnt u do anywork in English lol

the killing fields - history.
patriot- history
mortal kombat- haha science class, we pissed the teacher off so bad he actually left so we watched the first movie we could find

English

Wuthering Heights
A Passage To India
Jane Eyre
The Grapes Of Wrath
The Great Gatsby
A Separate Peace

in other words, stuff no one felt like reading or getting Cliff's Notes.

I gotta go with C-dic ....... Ben Hur ......... Chuck Heston is my favorite actor of all time.

I remember it pretty well, too, it was in 8th grade, and I thought seeing a guy get trampled under a horse was cool.

lol.

i never watched much films in school

once watched a porn film though that was..... weird.

A movie that I watched in school that I really liked was Schindler's List. We watched it after studying the Holocaust.

The Sandlot

We watched the Three Musketeers and The Man in the Iron Mask in English. The newer ones from the 90s.

In computer class we always watched movies. My favorite movie we watched in there was Taxi Driver then probably Man on Fire. Our Computer Teacher was leninent.

Ah! how could I forget that, watched Schindler's List in Religious Studies class and think we watched a bit in History too.

we did the play "death of a salesman" by arthur miller last year at college in Englsih and got to watch the film with dustin hoffman and john malcovich...i played biff when we did it in class...and i was a hell of a lot better at it than john malcovich

not

Recently watch Kill Bill Vol.1 in English which was pretty damn cool.

I watched Ferris Bueler's Day Off in English and Glory in social studies.

Shawshank Redemption in Crime and Delinquency
Ghosts of Mississippi and Mississippi Burning in Minority Studies

A Christmas Story

We watched the same freakin' movie in grade school: The Yearling
I hate that movie.

-Excalibur
-The outsiders
-Dances with wolves
-Macbeth

I would have to say "Gilver's Travels" Not sure what that had to do with the class I was in at that time but it is a well acted good movie.So that would be my favorite and it is stil is.JM

i watched Schindler's List in school to

i watched Of Mice and Men in English once

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?

erm...no

I loved Of mice and men

yeah i thought it was pretty decent

JFK was by far my most favorite,after that would be TORA TORA TORA,then The Blue and the grey.

i watched Catch me if u can in school which was enjoyable

i watched Matrix the first one and a few good man. Also To kill a mockingbird in English class.

The Outsiders
Hamlet

Actually, the movie is called Triumph of the Nerds

We watched gladiator about 40 times in my classical studies class. My teacher loved the first scene and all the gladiator fights.

Also watched To Kill a Mockingbird (Gregory Peck is related to ME!!!)

goodbye lenin

Requiem For A Dream, The Mission, or The Breakfest Club.

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.

And Porky's.

Oh ya! The Patriot was pretty good...I just remember my whole class laughing at the hatchet scene with Mel going crazy..... Damn that scene was good.

This has got to be a joke. Besides being a bad movie, it's not geared towards students.

the movie i remeber watching was Glory during history class

I can't believe you guys get to watch those movies in school! I would DIE to watch something as exciing as the Patriot in class.

Although, I am JUST going into high school, so I guess it makes sense!

Gattaca. Though, we watched it so many times and studied it to death I can't stand it anymore...

Yeah, you can only study Gattaca so much.

I distinctly recall, Romeo & Juliet (the 1960s version) in high school
and the dark, tale "Ichabob Crane & the Headless Horseman"
that was shown every year at Halloween while in grade school

WOW! Kill Bill? Is that a high school class? I'm assuming the administration didn't know that was being shown?

When I was in high school I watched Dead Poet's Society in 11th grade English after studying the transcendentalists. I really liked that movie.

In college I watched Pulp Fiction and Touch of Evil in one of my really cool literature classes.
