Apart from those glorious 7 minutes of car chase Nirvana, Bullitt is actually really boring. I still enjoy it, but I also do like a ‘slow burn’ on occasion.

While I’m sure those kids can find worse on their own, Bond films are really rather risque for 7th graders. I can imagine parents having an objection, despite regularly watching worse at home with their precious snowflakes.

Maybe the new Craig films, but those are really very dark.

Kinja'd!!!

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Teach them about late-1800s literature and badass action sequences.

Alternate choices: Mission Impossible movies, Jurassic Park, any and almost all Marvel / DC movies.

It’s fanciful enough for 12 year olds, but mature enough that they’ll take it seriously. Warning, it DOES have some gun violence in it, and some CGI brutality (and immortal vampire) sword fighting... so if that’s not kosher, then maybe Jurassic Park is a better choice.

06/03/2015 at 20:02

Independence Day is an excellent suggestion. Another one would be Battleship . (The latter is easily one of the most preposterous movies I have ever watched, but I couldn’t help enjoying it.)

I think Matrix would be over their heads. They can’t follow dialogue, so really good movies like Coneheads or Galaxy Quest go completely over their heads.

I made an edit regarding the gun violence in it, but it is pretty smart. Alan Quartermaine, Dorian Grey, Dracula, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde the Invisible Man, and Captain Nemo are the main characters.

If I may make a suggestion, preview the movie before you show it to your students, and get into the mind set of the most uptight, intolerant parent you can imagine. Several years ago, I caught some flack for showing Memphis Belle in a 7th grade class I was student teaching. A few swear words were uttered in the movie. Can’t have little Billy picking up something he hears every damn day in the hallways.

There isn’t. The whole “will they won’t they” that the movie builds up between the male and female protagonist doesn’t even happen in the end. You think they’re about to kiss at the very end...but then nothing happens.

It’s actually pretty funny.

That’s good advice.

The deal is that any students I have on this day will be the students whose teachers have allowed them to be royal pains in the arse all year. Read: the teachers can’t manage them. Last day of school is Field Day, when the 7th graders run around campus on a treasure hunt, have a woo-hoo assembly, and do a bunch of other nonsense. Old-timer teachers have decided that giving these nonconformist, malcontented students detention on the last day of school is somehow a meaningful punishment. I say they’re full of crap and we’ll have the detention in my room and watch Will Smith movies and the other teachers can bite me and I hope it’s the most fun these kids have in school all year and more fun than everyone else on Field Day. And I have an Onkyo receiver and four Cerwin Vega speakers in my room.

It’s not the old school any more and I’m old enough to recognize this.

Having said all of that , I promised my students a movie day after standardized testing and in one class we watched Flushed Away and in the other four we watched Despicable Me .
