Just comparing and contrastic different school experiences. (Please state your approximate location)

For me (Went to school in USA):

  • Frozen
  • Shrek
  • Tangled
  • The Pianist (it was a history class)
  • All the President’s Men (jounalism class in highschool)
  • The Wizard of Oz? (I think)
  • Idk the name, it was some “day of the dead” animated Spanish/Mexican kids movie about some “land of the remembered” and "land of the forgotten. (Just googled it aparantly its called “The Book of Life”) (Shown in like every Spanish class ever)
  • There was some movie about I think it was a hispanic singer, I think it was Selena. (Shown in a Spanish class)
  • The Maze Runner
  • The Giver (watched after the class was supposed to read the book The Giver, I kinda just skimmed it tho)
  • Memento (only watched part of it because I was depressed and I missed a session of class)
  • Dispicable Me
  • The Incredibles
  • Monster Inc
  • Toy Story
  • Some animated fish story (Finding Nemo I think?)
  • The Rat Chef In Hat Story

That about all I can remember.

I never liked watching them, being forced to watch a movie against your will immediately ruins whatever it is.

    A lot. Some of them were genuinely great. Some were way less so.

    • To Kill a Mockingbird: Earns every bit of reputation it has. Should be shown twice.

    • Teacher’s Pet: They showed this as a reward. I despised it. Seriously, it sticks in my head

    • The outsiders: “Okay, I guess.” I remember feeling it was a decent bit of storytelling, but I was too detached from the themes and era to care. Honestly, it was probably too old for kids to identify with.

    • When the Levees Broke: In retrospect, one of Lee’s weaker works. Nonetheless, it made a hell of an impact on us. We’d mostly seen helicopter’s-eye views of New Orleans. Getting down in with the people was a whole different view.

    • Tuesdays with Morrie: Apparently it’s popular, but we all hated it. Felt it was sentimental slop.

    • Brighton Beach Memoirs: Honestly don’t remember much. We mostly cared that, at the end, they actually showed the nude photo the lead character received. As kids, that was mind-blowing.
