Man, what a great movie. I remember in thrid grade(Mrs. Rogers class), some kid brought this movie in for our class to watch. Even then I couldn't believe that our teacher could be so ignorant. Come on, a movie about a giant alligator? Sure let's show it to a classroom full of 7 year olds. Needless to say the film was shut down after the arm was fished out. Ahh, good memories

Ha ha! I remember in grade 5 our teacher put on Ghostbusters and thought it was too much for us and switched it off!

About 4 years later, our religion teacher played Ghostbusters as he thought it would be a 'spiritual experience'. What a comedian.

it was probably a good move for your teacher to switch Alligator off after the arm unpleasantness! Great movie though.
