Final week or two of school, thank God, and for many of us that means playing movies. No shame, folks, it's been a long year. If I'm going to play a movie for my students it better be something I can somewhat enjoy as I'll be watching the same 40mins of it multiple times.
- Dennis the Menace (1993), playing it this week. A somewhat forgotten kids movie that gets forgotten amidst Home Alone.
I managed to find some Korean subs on Naver and the students are really enjoying it.
- Arrietty, particularly when you've got a lot of girls in your class, you can never go wrong with the magic of Studio Ghibli. Beautifully animated and beautiful music despite being a bit abrupt.
- Matilda/Home Alone, classics, but which Korean kid hasn't seen them 100 times?
- The Witches (1990), takes a while to get going, but the students reaction of absolute horror and silence of the Grand High Witch is always great.
- Lemony Snickets (A series of unfortunate events), really enjoyed this one myself. Jim Carry at his best.
Would love to play Dumb and Dumber, Addams Family and Liar Liar, but a bit too raunchy for the classroom.
