Is this film still used?

I was just wondering if this film is still used in Health Classes or anything. If you can even tell me where that would be really helpful.

Thanks

Can you draw with your feet?
It hurts a lot.

I don't know if it's being used in Health classes, but the movie is available on DVD as a double feature with Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn. YOu can find the DVD for as little as $1 in bargain bins. Be forewarned: the transfer and mastering is REALLY REALLY BAD. They squeezed 3 hrs of movies into a single DVD but that's not the major problem. The problem is that they didn't even try maximize the bitrate to fill the space. There is still plenty of free space on the 4.7gb DVD, despite holding 3 hrs of movies. Unless you can find a better DVD copy, I'd suggest finding a VHS version and transferring it yourself onto DVD.

I can remember watching it in Health class in 1992. It was already pretty dated then so I doubt they use it anymore. Students would be making fun of it more than learning from it.

I know this is a couple of years late, but I actually did see this movie in health class several years ago. I remember everyone seeming bored, occasionally finding moments of unintentional comedy. The only worthwhile thing about it was seeing a young Charlie Sheen.

They're advancing the wrong way! Retreat Backwards!

I am not revealing my name to protect the innocent.

The first time I saw this movie was in 9th grade in home economics class.I loved the movie so much I tried to find it on dvd.After the year 2000, I bought the movie on dvd.I graduated in 1999 from high school, so my freshman year of high school was 95-96, so I watched the movie in school either in 95 or 96.Kids in my class didn't get bored with the movie.The teacher said should I pass around tissues?

I watched this in my health class my freshman year of high school (1992-93), everyone was crying. It was a pretty upsetting movie.
