For critically-panned movies that are arguably good, I recommend a scroll through this thread: [Meme] Which movie was this for you?
It’s interesting to see what everyone’s opinions are. I’ve already downloaded a few of the suggestions out of curiosity.
Late 90s Chicago, I don’t recall this happening much, but I did have a social studies teacher in 7th grade that let kids take their lunch period in her classroom and the AV cart would usually be tuned in to the Maury Provich show.
As a kid, I enjoyed seeing teachers struggle with those.
Now as a parent, I got to see teachers struggle with a beamer, same joy!

First grade, they piled all the classes together, because it’s 1993 and we only have one laserdisc player, and we need to watch a video on pollution. Main topics were acid rain and smog and that shit has been with me for 30 years, I will never forget it.

I’m sure somebody had to watch that. Not me, but somebody.

Watching the teacher get irritated.
I still have one of those somewhere!
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.
“Only 90s kids will get it”
Oh man, a friend and I were the AV crew for a while in high school in the late 90s. Basically we’d deliver these TV & VCR wheeled stands to the teachers needing them in the morning. If there wasn’t any need, we got to hang out in the equipment room instead of home room.
We got to use the elevators and even wield “the key ring” from time to time.
