Art Movies for Students
Here’s a list of some of my favorite art movies you can show in your classroom. Since every school district has different rules for what can be shown to students, I have divided the movies by rating instead of grade levels. Many of these are available on streaming platforms but those things change all the time so I am not going to give links. If you search any of these titles in Google, it will tell you where they are currently available.

There’s something cathartic about a film in which the protagonist is able to make fools of his/her detractors by outlandish means. The Marx Brothers and Bugs Bunny perfected it. In Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life–which opens nationwide today–the adolescent lead character might as well say, “Of course you know this means war.” War in this case, is against a corrupt, dictatorial principal.
The film is a broad satire in which the live action, directed by Steve Carr (Paul Blart: Mall Cop) is designed to match the animation in cartoon-like whimsy and madness.
“That was very much a deliberate thing,” Ken Duncan (The Lion King, 1989’s The BFG) told us at his studio in Pasadena. “They wanted to amp up the live action. Steve went for a very humor driven feel. You can really get his personality from the way the film plays out. The cast reakky pulls it off. You can see that they’re all having a great time.”
Animation was planned as a constant element of Middle School from the start. “Jim Patterson [New York Times best selling author of the book] was adamant that there had to be 2-D animation. They were talking with us for months as they shot the live action. It was always the goal that Rafe’s imagination came to life through animation.”
