Our English teacher never made us read any Shakespeare plays, we just had to watch the films.... 

LOL...yeah after we would finish reading the books, we would then watch the films. Our teacher got in trouble for showing us Roman Polanski's Macbeth.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Catcher in the Rye
To Kill a Mockingbird
A Separate Peace
The Great Gatsby
Lord of the Flies - watched the movie, too

I had to memorize some verse from Shakespeare and recite it in front of the class.
We never read Shakespeare, but we did watch "The Taming of the Shrew" with Elizabeth Taylor.

The Merchant of Venice
The Great Gatsby
Grapes of Wrath
Romeo and Juliet
The Fall of the House of Usher
