Must have been in high school french class. I remember watching a few french movies on video in class and even taking a field trip to see one at an art house theater. Sadly I can't remember what any of those films were now.

It was some jailhouse movie that my dad rented in the mid-80's.
To this day, I still don't know what the name of that movie was. My guess is that it was either French or Hungarian and it took place entirely in prison. Anyone help?

The first film that I distinctly recall was the 1977 Greek film Iphigenia which was a special screening for our Junior High 9th Grade History class. I think for the most part the class was pretty much uninterested in the movie on the whole, except for a brief nude scene that had all of us giggle in hysterics.

A new inmate arrives and tries to find a seat at lunch time. A baldheaded inmate says to him (Wherever he tries to sit) that "the seat is taken". Finally, when the inmate gets to sit down, the bald guy gets up and spits all on his lunch.
Ring a bell?

I think my first subtitled film was when I was eight or nine or something. It was a film version of Carmen. I was with my grandmother and aunt, big fans of the opera. I couldn't follow it too well.

First in a theater was Like Water for Chocolate. That was 1992, so I was in 8th grade. Wow I feel old
I might have seen something subtitled on TV, but I don't remember. I saw Das Boot when I was very young but it was the old dubbed version.
