“You can never go back. YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK!”
oh my god yes
i thought Scarface’s name was Carface when I was little and obsessed with this. had a stuffed animal named Mr Carface (I obviously couldn’t ‘steal’ the name Carface, I had to be original) that would watch the movie with me all the time. 16 years later and I still have them lol
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.

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.
Watching the teacher get irritated.
I still have one of those somewhere!
“Only 90s kids will get it”
Depending on the year/grade, could be Harriet’s Magic Hats, could be Brave Little Toaster, could be creationist propaganda.
Fun fact about me, the first time I watched the original Star Wars trilogy was in high school. My teacher didn’t really want to teach us anything, so he put on episodes 4, 5, and 6 over the course of a few days.
Your teacher may or may not have been on a bender.
Well…maybe, but my original teacher stopped teaching in the middle of the school year. There were rumors of him getting a BJ from a student and being fired. He might have just retired. You know rumors. They moved in a couple different temp teachers to fill in for the last half of the year. One of them was bored one week and just started playing the trilogy. Good old ‘principles of technology’ class.
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!
