Welcome

This blog was developed to help all teachers who want to show movies in their classrooms, but don’t have the time to watch it before hand to see where they need to edit. Choose your movie, and you can see a specific list of anything in it that would not make it “school appropriate.”


For reference, “nudity” constitutes seeing a full buttocks, genitalia, or female nipples. A character may be “naked” but still have no “nudity” if nothing is shown.


I claim no responsibility for errors. I try as hard as I can, but it is strongly suggested that you view each movie before showing it to students. Also, if you visit the imdb links for each movie, there is a content advisory for parents. This section will give you more detail on sex, drug use, and violence in each movie.


If you have any suggestions, please send them my way (jeremy.n.bartunek@gmail.com). If there is a movie that you are looking for that I did not review yet, let me know and I will get it on as soon as possible.
