Drillbit Taylor - bullying video clip idea

I watched Drillbit Taylor last night. The film is about two boys trying to cope with bullying. There are several scenes that you could use from the film to stimulate a discussion. Unfortunately I had to return the DVD so I didn't write down the chapters. However here are some I recall:
There are many other scenes you could use...

Bullying video clips - ideas

I'm just been looking up some video clips that could be used to address the topic of bullying. Here are some ideas:

Billy Madison - 54 minutes to 57 minutes from the start of the video
Plains, trains and automobiles - 19 minutes to 26 minutes / DVD chapter 7.
The Pacifier
The Longest Yard
Accepted
Dodgeball - 29 minutes to 33 minutes / DVD chapter 10
Kidulthood - DVD chapter 1
Mean girls - 59 minutes to 1 hour 13 minutes / DVD Chapter 13 - 16

Accepted

Just come back from the Cinema where we watched Accepted.  It has all the typical stuff you'd expect of a "teen flick", but it does raise a few interesting questions about education.  Basically the film is about a guy who doesn't get accepted to collage and as a result is deemed a failure who will never achieve anything.  So as a way out of this situation he creates this fake collage(with a building, dorms and everything) - it's enough to convince his parents and as it turns out, lots of parents to send their kids there.  Anyway loads of people turn up after been "accepted" at the collage, all paying 10k a term.
 
This film raises all kind of interesting questions about the nature of education - basically it argues for what we might call informal peer-lead education.   While this movie is no master piece I think it's one of those films that youthworkers and young people can relate to.  It was interesting that there were lots of cheers / applause from the audience during the screening (mostly youth).   I can't remember that last time that happened while I've been at the cinema...interesting.
 
You could certainly use the start of the film with the Life after school talk I outlined here.  There would also be scenes that you could use about rejection, acceptance, bullying (Sherman is made to do all these humiliating things in order to become a member of a fraternity) and the purpose of education...

The Longest Yard - talk ideas

In The Longest Yard Adam Sandler plays Paul Crewe, an American football player who 'threw a game' for money.  While he was a great footballer, this ruined in carrier.  During the start of the film he gets into some trouble and ends up in prison where he is forced into running a football team.  There are loads of issues raised in this film:
