Does anyone else remember the classroom film "Hemo the Magnificent"? |
|
Got into a conversation over the weekend and Hemo came up.

I've been thinking of that middle school great "The Wave" lately.

3. "The Wave" was that film, based upon a true story, wherein a teacher |
|
subtly changed his class (using mob mentality) into Nazi's basically. I think, in this era of violence and gang activities in our schools, it would be good to dust it off and show it. Although, admittedly it is hokey at time.

Perhaps an update to it, the message was a good one.

It was one of those Bell Labs films. There was another one about weather, too. I loved those.

Very engaging and memorable. Unlike the rest of the damned films we saw in school.

Earlier today, somebody had a thread about what was the best thing you watched back in school?
And I said....Ta DA! "Hemo the Magnificent."
I have it on DVD!
It is fabulous!

I was just trying to find one we were shown in the Navy, "Count Spirokete". No luck yet.

Enough to buy a DVD copy a few years ago. It's backed with the weather goddess one.

15. There was a math/logic one too, but I can't remember the name of it... |
|
I should too, because I was the very odd seventh grader running the projector.
Help, please?
