Does anyone else remember the classroom film "Hemo the Magnificent"?

[KitchenWitch]

Got into a conversation over the weekend and Hemo came up.

1. OMG...Capra's greatest work ever!

The circulatory system, hollywood style...sigh...


I've been thinking of that middle school great "The Wave" lately.

2. I loved Hemo.

I do not remember "The Wave".

:D

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. "The Wave" was that film, based upon a true story, wherein a teacher

subtly changed his class (using mob mentality) into Nazi's basically. I think, in this era of violence and gang activities in our schools, it would be good to dust it off and show it. Although, admittedly it is hokey at time.

4. OH yeah, I remember that one!

Perhaps an update to it, the message was a good one.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Oh, yeah!

It was one of those Bell Labs films. There was another one about weather, too. I loved those.

6. They really were fantastic

Very engaging and memorable. Unlike the rest of the damned films we saw in school.

14. Here's another Bell classic: Our Mr. Sun

8. Oh my god, that is too funny!

Earlier today, somebody had a thread about what was the best thing you watched back in school?

And I said....Ta DA! "Hemo the Magnificent."

I have it on DVD!

It is fabulous!

:bounce: :bounce:

11. It must be in the air.

It is coming up in conversations around me anyway.

9. Hemo is a classic.

I was just trying to find one we were shown in the Navy, "Count Spirokete". No luck yet.

[KitchenWitch]

10. It may be "Count Spirochete"

:hi:

[evlbstrd]

13. Thanks!

My excuse is that I majored in art.

[Orsino]

12. Loved it.

Enough to buy a DVD copy a few years ago. It's backed with the weather goddess one.

15. There was a math/logic one too, but I can't remember the name of it...

I should too, because I was the very odd seventh grader running the projector.

Help, please?
