MOVIES THAT YOU CAN SHOW IN CLASS ROOMS

To teach the block titled Frames of Culture we can screen a number of films in class rooms.Teachers usually show Pather Panchali as part of it.But, for this, an afternoon or morning is borrowed from others(other teachers) and a full show is arranged.As most of the movies are of 80 or 90(or more) minutes duration,English Teachers find it difficult to screen all the movies mentioned in the text books.
The movies mentioned in the text books are mainly :
1.Elippathayam by Adoor Gopalakrishnan
2.Bicycle Thieves by Vittorio De Sica.
3.Ikiru by Akira Kurosava
4,The Kid by Charlie Chaplin
