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.

    I took a history of film class in college and highly recommend it.

    We went through classics from Citizen Kane to Do The Right Thing, and the discussion beforehand of the symbolism and camera techniques really helped me understand WHY they were good. I don’t think I would have enjoyed most of them otherwise.

      Did similar in university. Loved the class. My favorites from that class and I didn’t even know they existed beforehand were Nueve Reinas (Nine Queens), there are so many reasons why that movie is a masterpiece, and Cinema Paradiso, which was a hugely impactful movie for me.
