    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.
