Furthermore, almost every sit com on the 3 major networks today have more junk than 'R' movies 30 years ago, and to be totally honest with you . . . I would rather kids see some movies out there than most sit coms on TV today. My movie suggestions take small clips from movies to promote discussion. I recommend using discretion when choosing which movies to watch. Most the kids I work with are allowed to watch R-rated movies and are always talking about them.
Precaution always has to be taken . . .
But I don't have a problem with showing clips from movies, especially from a war movie like Saving Private Ryan. Personally, I love movies. I usually give the run-down on who directed it, the director's history and the history of all the actors. I studied film in college and I have even dinked around filming a few shorts. Just because I personally watch almost no TV but like movies, I'm not going to shove that on anyone else.
