What school do you go to that lets you watch R-rated movies in class?
Actually it doesn't. My teacher just pulled a tricky one. We watched it in about three parts and the third part we had a substitute teacher, who scolded US for letting our teacher show us such horrible footage. LOL
You've got a cool teacher.  In our class, we had to watch this.  At least it provided my friends and I with a meme, shouting "DOBLE SEIS!!!!" whenever we're playing a table-top game.
LOL

My English 12 teacher let us watch Shawshank Redemption. We were only supposed to watch it while the sub was there but we protested and he let us watch the rest. LOL


I read it to my class.  Approve

If Lord of the Rings as a trilogy were an option, this would have been tricky. But no individual part of the series competes with Pans Labyrinth.

'The Devil's Backbone' is great too - but less bizarre!


Yeah, but still I like Pan's Labyrinth much more than Devil's Backbone.

Pans Labyrinth, because LOTR could never have lived up to my expectations.

LotR has some pretty impressive pictures in it, but Pan's Labyrinth is actually a great movie.

Surprised no one has voted for IMO the best LotR, The Two Towers.

Even though Lord of the Rings was a monumental cinematic achievement in scope and scale, nothing can compare to the sheer simplistic beauty of Pan's Labyrinth.  Guillermo Del Toro is one of my favorite directors just based on that one film.

It was as real as the human imagination, which is capable of creating the unreal. Wink
