Watched at School
I cannot recollect everything I was shown in elementary and middle school, but that is mostly the opposite in high school and now, college. I have watched a few movies on my own time during school hours, but I have not included them since I chose to watch them. List is definitely incomplete.
As of October 20, 2014, I've broadened it to more than just feature films to include TV shows and such because we watched those too.
