Favourite School CP Movie Clips: 20

Here’s a bit of fun (I think, anyway). This Blog is now entering its fourth year and I see there are more than 1,300 posts uploaded, including about 125 school corporal punishment clips from mainstream movies.

Looking back over the years, I thought it might be fun to compile my own personal Top 20 Favourites from these film clips. So here’s the start.

By ‘mainstream’ I mean a film of fiction that has a school CP scene that occurs naturally as part of the plot. This makes them different from the movies that are produced by specialist studios.

This is a personal choice so depends entirely on my own tastes. And as they say ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, or ‘one man’s meat etc.’ so my choices might be different to yours. But, that’s half the fun.

To start at Number 20 I have chosen The Guinea Pig. This is one of the first movies I remember on TV in England that featured a school caning (you can tell my age and perhaps imagine how excited I was to see it). The plot of the film is not very good and is a class-ridden tale of a poor working-class boy who is expected to improve his life by attending an elite public school.

It is also a bit bonkers because it stars Richard Attenborough who plays a 14-year-old schoolboy when he was 25 years old at the time (and already going bald). The prefects are played by actors who look to be in their forties.

So this clip is in my favourites because of the place it plays in my own personal history.

Look out for more of my favourites in the coming weeks.
