Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill Nye the science Guy!
It's the 6th grade. The girls are taken to the gym for a presentation about menstruation. Us boys are put in a room with this cart to watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Or some shit about shop class.
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.
Hell yeah.
I watched a VHS dupe my father had made of this so many times. I don't think I've ever seen the proper cover art of it.
'See you later, navigator!'
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"
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!
Beauty and the Beast.
But it's Spanish class. So La bella y la bestia.
Señora Lopez has a hangover and she just ain't doin shit today.
I'm sure somebody had to watch that. Not me, but somebody.
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.
We had Monty python's life of Brian. The teacher forgot he already played it for our class once. Nobody mentioned that to him.
Beakman's World
Bill Nye
Reading Rainbow
Edit: Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, Mr Wizard, or Antiques Roadshow are also possible outcomes.
BILL NYE
I wore out 2 copies of Short Circuit. I could start working on a third.
I'm pretty sure I was in first grade, but for sure no older than third grade, when our sub put on The Blob (1988 version). That sure left a mark on me and I was pretty freaked out showering for at least months afterward.
Once when we were studying in biology class, when I was maybe 14 or 15, the teacher leaves the room and comes back with this sort of telly on the wheelie stand thing; he was trying to surprise us with an educational distraction from textbooks and, it was good on paper.
He must have forgotten to rewind the VHS or something, of a nature documentary, and the entire class got an immediate scene of two wildebeast trying to repopulate the Savannah by themselves.
I mean it did work, since it was a great distraction whilst he frantically Goku punched the Stop button as fast as he could, before pressing rewind.

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.
