No one ever made me read Goodbye, Mr. Chips, which up until now I thought was just a mediocre movie, but I have to agree on Billy Budd. And Melville is otherwise a big old favorite. Did he just need some cash or something?
But the most annoying was undoubtedly when the teachers decided to make great literature more accessible by showing us really bad PBS movies of great books.
