37. There were many that I had the pleasure of seeing in my school daze...
The absolute bottom of the barrel was 'A Separate Peace'...full of bizarre and awkward homoerotic undertones (and overtones), it interprets the book in ways I never imagined possible...
We watched some real winners in health class...among them an anti-steroids video where you get to see roid rage in all its glory...the guy gets crazed and animalistic, and it features the classic line 'It's roid rage, man! Roid rage! You're out of control!'
Even better was a video about a girl who had developed AIDS. I can't remember the movie's title. The movie itself wasn't bad, it was generally positive, and the girl is hopeful at the end of the movie. True story and all. So the health teacher ruins it for us by saying, 'the girl died six months after the movie was made'
Buzz kill.

Also from health, a video about mental illness. In one scene, a mental patient who was homeless and had negelected medication is casually explaining to the interviewer how he uses his own feces to mark his territory (after being asked what 'those brown streaks' were)...

We watched a lot of movies in health. Most of them were either disturbing (that's feces. it's shit. that's how i mark my territory) or unintentionally hilarious (roid rage, man! you're out of control!)
meh.
