wizardofloneliness posted:Romeo + Juliet is probably the best movie we watched in high school. We watched part of the 1968 version too, but I don't remember anything about that other than my teacher telling everyone to "be mature please" during that one scene. Romeo + Juliet was still in theaters when I was at that point in high school, so I never got around to seeing it. The thing about the 1968 version is, I don't even remember that one scene. I remember the teacher making a huge deal about it, but then not noticing it, which, being a 15 year old at the time, who grew up to be a titty enthusiast, you would think I would have.

In drama class we watched Julie Taymor's Titus on a projector. I thought it was loving rad. I brought one of my Space Marine Bikers in to show the teacher afterwards since the opening sequence with the Roman soldiers gave me such vibes.

May want to be careful suggesting 90s Troma. I don't remember Tromeo and Juliet all that much, but Terror Firmer is disgustingly transphobic.

Did none of you have teachers who just knew exactly when and where to slam a file folder against the tv to block that nipple? Also, I spent several years thinking that Olivia Hussey and Jenny Augutter were the same person because I saw Logan’s Run on cable late at night around the same time and merged the two in my imagination because of Michael York and mid-century British nudity.

The only thing I remember about Tromeo and Juliet was that there were a million posters for it all over the video game Redneck Rampage. That's pretty much how I learned about the existence of Troma.

I have extremely vague memories of Tromeo and Juliet (I saw it like once) and the incest angleis what stands out most in my memory of that movie. Also Romeo+Juliet is really good and I rewatched that fairly recently. The 68 version is fine for a more straight forward period costume style Shakespeare adaptation. I also remember there being some kerffule about the 3 seconds of nipple you see in that movie when we watched it in school. Still not as bad as my freshman science teacher showing us the X-Files movie and covering the screen when Mulder and Scully almost kiss. Which confused the gently caress out of me because I'd already seen the movie. Also I can not remember what her justification for showing us the X-Files movie was, but she did. I learned nothing in that class lol. joylessdivision fucked around with this message at 16:50 on May 5, 2021 |

My awkward "movie at school" story is watching Quest for Fire in like 5th or 6th grade. Only think I remember about that experience is a sex scene popping up, me covering my eyes and the teacher yelling "This movie is recommended by the Ministry of Education!"

Another awkward experience was when we went on a field trip in high school to a museum where the only thing we did was watch Ridicule. A movie that opens for no adequately explained reason with a guy peeing on a bed ridden old man, with a shot of his dick taking up the entire screen. As you'd expect, there was no discussion amongst the students of anything in the movie other than that.

We watched Excalibur in class and while we got a talking to about the breasts in the sex scene, everyone was more laughing that the guy was in full armor and wondering how in the world he was even having sex.

Our 6th grade band teacher played Creepshow 2 at the end of the year, full R-rated version. No idea how he thought that was a good idea, but as far as I know he never got in trouble for it.

That was great. One time when I worked at a college library, a woman came up and wanted to check out Audition. She asked me what it was about but I said it was supposed to be a surprise, though I did point out the adults-only warning on the case. I thought she would come back furious at me, but instead she came back and said "Ooh, that was a good movie! That woman sure was weird!"

One time a teacher put on Saving Private Ryan in a math class for no explainable reason at our high school and it caused a huge stir with the parents and became a sort of running joke that whenever a teacher would put on a film in any class someone would ask "are we watching Saving Private Ryan?"

Goddamn my school sucked in comparison. If it rained the gym teacher would put on The Natural or The Sandlot. Those are the only movies I remember watching in the entirety of high school and we watched them multiple times. Think I've got a subconscious dislike of Robert Redford because of it.

End of year in Science class, some kid had a copy of Swordfish, one of the most fantastically trashy films ever made, and we put that on. We watched 'Dude Where's My Car' the next day.muscles like this! posted:Hannah John-Kamen has been cast as Red Sonja in a new movie. That's if the movie actually happens since this is one of those long rumbling projects that never actually happens. This goes back, at least, to the release of Planet Terror. Rodriguez was attached and Rose McGowan was going to star. Then Rose McGowan became a 'difficult' actress, and we now know what that means. Didn't it most recently have Bryan Singer and the creepy producer who was protecting him attached? Cursed fuckin' movie. joylessdivision posted:I think that's the one Hugh Hefner produced. I saw that in an English class. And directed by Roman Polanski. It's really loving violent. The first shot is a guy wandering a battlefield, finding someone still alive, and beating him to death with a ball and chain, taking big chunks of flesh off with every blow.

One of my classes my junior year in high school put on Amistad. Yes, with all the full nudity. I remember one particular group of girls in class who cheered every time they saw a penis.

There was one year, I think it was on the second to last day of school. No one cared anymore and we were all just waiting to get out. The principal came on the intercom and announced that they were just going to show a movie instead. Everyone cheered. Our teacher rolled out the tv and turned it on. It was What Women Want.

There’s a scene in Amistad where the weaker slaves get tied to a big rock and dragged overboard. Pretty horrifying. I remember that when we watched it in school, but no dicks.
