Another really funny movie is:
Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail
That is such a funny movie.
Oh, I also like Pirates of the Carabean

Well, since this is for a trip, that kinda rules out some of the best-made films like American History X, Requiem for a Dream, or Shawshank Redemption - those aren’t really sitting-on-a-bus-and-watch movies. You need one of those movies without too much of a real in-depth plot - I’d suggest the classic Pulp Fiction, but somehow I doubt that would fly with your teachors or advisors.

LotR, maybe, but the bus ride would kinda ruin the atmosphere. I’d suggest (like many other before) Pirates and Holy Grail. Ocean’s 11 would also be a good choice. Dr. Strangelove is a classic, but if you don’t have a lot of crazy global-dictator still-living-in-the-cold-war-era type of students, most of the bus will be crying to turn it off. Robin Hood: Men in Tights or History of the World Part I are good for some cheap laughs (Spaceballs is good, but not funny after the first time), and Shrek and Finding Nemo are always good fall-backs. Of course if you’ve completely given up on finding a movie with any sort of decent plot at all, you can always turn on Starship Troopers.

I love Shawshank and American History X there both really good movies. But like you said our coaches wouldn’t approve it. But I’ll take the other ones in considernation(sp)

11

Movies we have veiwed on the bus trip the last couple of years is Princess Mononoke(one of my all time favorites), Orange County (not as bad as I thought it would be), Cool Runnings (a very good film to inspire your team for FIRST because it’s about going the distance in spite of your level of talent or whether or not you belong and succeding whether you win or not) Monty Python and the Holy Grail(an all time classic), Remember the Titans(not as agonizing as I thought it would be), Patch Adams(pure agony. Next time they show it I’m jumping off the bus), Warriors of the Wind(AKA NAusica, Valley of the Wind, the so-called butchered American version. It’s still great).
This year we have Drumline(way cool, if simle movie) Signs (Good scary fun), Minority Report (an underrated Spilberg film), WHo Framed Roger Rabbit(an all-time classic), Raiders of the Lost Ark(Spielberg at his best) and Appollo 13(great film. even if you still know how it ends). The kids will bring some of their own movies too. So long as it isn’t R rated (it’s a school trip).
I’m bringing my own DVDs to watch on my wife’s laptop. Read or Die, Cowboy Bebop the Movie and the series, Gross Point Blank, Memento, The Frighteners (What Peter Jackson did before LOTR), and Akira.
I plan on leaving the hotel room anyways in CLeveland. I had enough of the Rock n’ Roll HOF.

12

Yesss!!! My fav part is the cocunuts and the horses, LOL< ROF “Ill bite off your leg,”

How about The Scorpion King? But only because the gorgeous Rock is in it. sigh LOL,

i really liked that one movie, it was gory but interesting…something widowmaker. K-19 Widowmaker i think it is. That is a good movie.

13

Boondock Saints.

14

It’s just a flesh wound!!

15

“Bring out the Holy Hand grenade of Antioch”
Is it just me, or does Holy and Grenade not go together. lol
I love that movie. With the vicous rabit and stuff. “What will it do, nibble your bum off”

16

I happen to like MP’s Life of Brian, Dumb and Dumber, The Legend of Drunken Master (Jackie Chan!), Austin Powers, Black Sheep. Movies like that are great for bus trips.

17

I happen to like A Walk to Remember. It’s really sad, but I like it nevertheless. I am not a big movie watcher though

18

Hmm…I’ll list some favorites even though a couple have already been named, such as the Lion King. I mean…how can you go wrong with the Lion King? Alright, the movie that personally goes with me everywhere (in fact, was recently with me at our first competition to Trenton) is Cruel Intentione. However, it’s rated R and I would not recommend allowing your students to watch this. Great movie though…for personal viewing. A movie I do recommend watching with the students though is Sixth Sense. Also Resident Evil or The Order if you’re into weird kind of movies like that. I am not sure of the rating on this but I’ve heard Bowling for Colombine is an awesome movie. I recommend watching yourself before letting any students watch it. Just in case since I havn’t seen it just yet. A great movie, if you don’t mind crying a little, that’s also inspiring and has the spirit of FIRST to it is Pay It Forward. It’s the only movie I’ve ever actually watched and thought “Oh wow…I really see what a difference each person makes on this each.” It’s a fablous movie. The only other recommendation I can make is to try and stay with Disney Movies. They tend to please everyone of all ages. Oh yes, if you like anime and liked Princess Monoke (sp?), try Spirited Away as well. It’s suppose to be great.

19

Spirited Away is def an excellent movie to watch. Even my mom (who despises all anime :rolleyes: ) loved it and watched it multiple times. I’d suggest Donnie Darko because it’s an amazing movie, but it’s not really busride material. Same goes for Boondock Saints , to really enjoy them you have to watch them with your full attention. Anyway, my personal favorite busride movie is The Brave Little Toaster . Talking toasters, robotics, it seems fairly appropriate.
