I am a U. S. History teacher, in a special education class of juniors. I let my students watch a movie today. I wanted something that would get their interest but wasn’t completely inappropriate or too young. Stumbled across the remake and they are all enthralled. I may show this next year before I start my WWII unit and refer back to the movie when they get lost.

I miss showing movies. Kids generally don't like them anymore. Glad it worked out for you
Agreed, I keep my video clips under 4 mins usually. Which is why I was shocked to see everyone paying attention. Also, it’s been forever since I watched the movie but I could absolutely make this into a lesson. Find the collaborators, propaganda, etc. We just finished our Vietnam unit and the movie mentions Vietcong and the kids were like, ohhh that’s why they were fighting.
