I remember watching Chaplin movies in 2 different college classes, because the man was such a freakin' genius.
We watched Modern Times in Sociology of Organizations (or something like that) because we were talking about the ways technology and your job affect your daily life.
And then we watched City Lights in Philosophy of Tragedy and Comedy because he embodied the perfect tragic hero who used comedy to overcome his lot in life.

I'm sure all of his movies could have been used throughout college, he was that insightful.
