Teach 6th grade world history. Love bringing in some films that are both fun and at least have a modicum of accuracy. Anyway after teaching ancient Greece we watch Hercules but also tie into English where they read The Lightning Thief but our ELA teacher gets to show the better first film. I get Sea of Monsters which is trash but at least has tie-ins. I've gotten to the point where I make my own mental dossier trying to see if I can feel the off screen romance of Lerman and Daddario during filming or why Brandon T. Jackson wasn't a bigger deal. Any other teachers watch shit films with their students?

Edit: Movies we watch not mentioned above

The Croods - Decent early humans era flick

Prince of Egypt - Great for Egypt and Religion unit

Mulan - Good for talking about gender roles

Mr. Peabody & Sherman - Great wrap up the year movie
