Didn't your school show blood and gore movies during "Drivers Ed"? (Sent to rec.aviation.piloting only) http://www.movieeye.com/reviews/get_...view/2282.html (Drivers Ed movies) (snips from the link) This highly acclaimed documentary feature certainly brings out a lost genre in filmmaking. Hell's Highway recovers a particular form of film going that has not been seen since the early eighties. The documentary drudges up the nightmarish world in being in a horrible car accident the kind where there is no recovering from your deadly wounds. It explores a form of filmmaking that educators used between 1959 and 1979 by scaring students into behaving themselves while on the road. The film clips presented which were made legendary at the time from driver's educational shorts like Signal 30 (1959), Highway's Of Agony (1969), and Options To Live (1979). Hell's Highway grasps you into a grim Americana and the interviews with filmmakers responsible for the radical educational movement. You'll also witness excerpts from fifteen shocking classroom films, including: Mechanized Death (1961) Wheels of Tragedy (1963) Carrier or Killer (1965) Death on the Highway (1965) The Third Killer (1966) Last Prom wasn't mentioned in the piece. It's the one I remember best, along with Signal 30 and Highway of Agony. I took "Drivers Ed" in 1976. http://www.montrealmirror.com/ARCHIV...604/film3.html (another review of the documentary) Montblack |
