I use film in the classroom so I'm not against it per se, but I know teachers who totally abuse the use of film in the classroom. It is a way for them to not teach, to grade papers, to sleep. I know of one teacher who averages three days a week showing films.
Sorry, but I'm not buying his rationale for showing this much film ("These are kids of the film generation. They won't read.")

I know an excuse when I hear one.
