***THis is always a problem with high school students (and too many adults): Will it hold their attention? I think Bicycle Thief and Cinema Paradiso will. Not sure about Citizen Kane, Casablanca, or (I hate to leave it off the list) Grand Illusion.

...or... algebra... for that matter?

OK, so no Grand Illusion. But if you would allow me to stay with France, and the anti-war theme - a good theme, for sure - let me introduce another film that fits, but is much shorter and easier to digest - the Forbidden Games. It is also great fun, but with bitter taste.
