For school, I'm talking from preschool through grad school (or highest completed educational level).

The Buttercream Gang, someone should iRiff this, too bad it was never on MST3K

1. A film about workplace integrity starring Dennis Prager.

Don't remember the name of the film. The thing that scared me was that I was the only one in the room who saw any irony in it...

3. why would you let a dark-haired city kid into the Buttercream Gang?

why would you even let a kid like that into your blonde small-town community at all? You're just looking for trouble.

By the way, you ever see the porn version, the Buttercream Gangbang?

4. Armageddon.

Grade 8 or 9 language arts class. Thus began my intense hate-on for Michael Bay.

6. Do you know that if you remove all the explosions from Bay's movies...

None of them would be longer than 15 minutes? It's true.

9. Innumerable ones in elementary school

*bing!* but I don't remember them clearly.

We did watch one short educational travelogue-type film *bing!* in college before spending a month in the U.K.. It was so bad...the worst part was the narrator who frequently boomed, in the worst game-show voiceover ever, "...in LON-don!!!!" So of course we had to say that at every opportunity for the rest of our college careers.

10. Zefferilli's "Romeo and Juliet" in high school.

We considered it the worst because we were all looking forward to a certain scene with Olivia Hussey and it had been carefully excised by the school censors.
