Good list. Yeah any pre-2000 is old enough.

Back then, on September 11, the school was gathered into the main auditorium after the planes struck the towers. For some reason, some teacher thought it was a good idea to show a movie to the students to keep them entertained. I never found out which teacher chose it, but somebody decided Grave of the Fireflies was the movie of choice for the moment.

Damn that really is interesting. Must have been quite the experience.

No, it's fitting: Grave of the Fireflies was originally a double feature with My Neighbor Totoro. Traumatizing children out of nowhere is on-brand.

I looked it up and wow it is true. That's actually crazy.
