Classic American Film, Thursday, Period 4

[eager-platypus.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon," Ziva said as she greeted the class. "I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving break last week." She certainly had, even if she still didn't fully understand the holiday. "Today we are going to see an example of a rare kind of classic film: the kind that was not a box office success. Most films that are considered classics were very successful in theaters - after all, if they are classics, they must be good films, and therefore people must have wanted to see them when they were originally released. But sometimes, movies only gain a larger, happier audience once they are out of the theaters, and available to watch in one's home.

"Today's film barely made enough money in theaters to cover its budget, but now, many years later, it is considered to be one of the best films ever made. Hopefully, you will all find it as enjoyable as others have."

Or just eat your weight in popcorn, whatever makes you happy.

This was a movie Bod hadn't seen yet so he sat down to both watch and eat his weight in popcorn.

Yeah, Quinn had seen this one a bunch, but she didn't mind seeing it again. It made for a nice lazy class.

Sara had her doubts about the movie when it started, but shortly enough she found herself enthralled. She was far too dignified to cry, of course -- she had only ever once in her life past a young age been seen crying, even if she thought she might want to -- but she had her hands clasped beneath her chin and an enraptured look on her face by the time it was done.

Clark wasn't sure today's movie class would be as fun as the day before, but once the movie got going, he was more concerned about not shedding any manly tears for the awesome characters.

Oh, how I wish I could crawl back into bed instead of going to work.
