7	Some works originally intended to be entertainment have come to be studied and approached seriously in academic institutions, as they have deep meanings, or comment on society in certain ways. They have transcended their original purpose to become educational.
8
9	Encouraging critical thinking is the typical rationale for this type of in-depth study, which is integral to many scholarly pursuits. Sometimes it is applied to films, books, etc. that were almost certainly not meant for intense study, and even in subjects that initially had nothing to do with them.
10
11	At worst, many of the ideas that instructors teach their students end up being WildMassGuessing disguised as truth. When this happens, it is EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory and WhatDoYouMeanItsNotDidactic that describe the phenomenon.
12
13	In a best case scenario, there are some truly interesting and deep kernels of wisdom to be found in well-made works.
14
15	Many [[HistoricalFiction popular works based on historical events]] have been used in history classes.

24	[[AC:Films—Animated]]
25	* ''Film/OsmosisJones'' has seen considerable usage in health classes.
26	[[AC: Manga]]
27	* ''Manga/CellsAtWork'' is highly praised by the medical Website/YouTube channel WebVideo/TheSickNotes (hosted by an actual doctor) and is required reading in at least one Chinese high school.
28	[[AC: Newspaper Comics]]
29	* ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'': One of the collections has a foreword by a college professor who notes that he puts up the comics on a bulletin board at the beginning of the year, leading to much confusion among students. And as time goes by, the students see the comics again... and "roar with the confident laughter of the enlightened".
30	[[AC:Western Animation]]
31	* When introducing middle/high schoolers to genetics, it's fairly common for a ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' [[https://www.scribd.com/document/394487951/spongebob-genetics-1 worksheet]] focused on genetics and Punnett squares to be used, due to the [=SpongeBob=] characters having easily recognizable characteristics (like yellow skin and a square body), along with the characters simply being familiar with students.
32	[[/folder]]
33
34	[[folder:Communications]]
35	[[AC:Films—Live-Action]]
36	%% * In most college-level communications classes, teachers are required to show a movie and ask their students to apply communications principles to it. Popular choices include ''Film/TwelveAngryMen'', ''Film/{{Big}}'', ''Film/StandByMe'' and ''Film/DrivingMissDaisy''.%%% Examples must not be general. Please expand.
37	* ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'' is used to study interpersonal communications as the students learn to understand each other.
38	* ''Film/WhenHarryMetSally'' is used for interpersonal relationships.
39	[[AC:Live-Action Television]]
40	* The ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E2Darmok Darmok]]" is taught in communications classes. The episode is about friendly communication between cultures that are at first incomprehensible to each other, and explores the importance of syntax, semantics, and cultural context. The aliens speak exclusively in [[SpeaksInShoutOuts trope-based metaphor]], so that without understanding the context their dialogue sounds like unconnected phrases. The aliens, apparently aware of their [[BizarreAlienPsychology unique psychology]], have a first contact protocol that involves establishing a shared set of experiences between two delegates, which can in turn be used as a Rosetta Stone between cultures -- in Picard's case, realizing that "Darmok and Jalad" is a reference to a story much like "[[Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh Gilgamesh and Enkidu]]". ("And his eyes were opened!")

48	[[AC:Live-Action Television]]
49	* ''Series/DragonsDen'', as well as its American counterpart ''Shark Tank'', have been used by marketing professors to show students how to pitch product ideas. The former has made episodes that serve as tutorials of the proper and improper ways of doing a product presentation.
50	[[AC:Video Games]]
51	* Various {{MMORPG}}s with player-driven economies (''VideoGame/EVEOnline'', [[http://io9.com/5057849/real-economist-studies-virtual-economy-in-eve-online for example]]) have been used by economists as study aids or subjects of papers.
52	[[AC:Web Video]]
53	* In the case of ''WebVideo/EconomyWatch'', the show can be considered educational due to the discussions it has on various economic topics, though its jokes can be fairly edgy or inappropriate.

62	* ''Film/{{Magnolia}}'' is a favorite of film classes for its {{central theme}}s and storytelling methods.
63	* ''Film/{{Rashomon}}''. Not only for the trope it coined, (RashomonStyle), but for what it managed in terms of storytelling in its time.
64	* ''Film/SchindlersList'' is used to teach color theory and cinematography. The famous [[SplashOfColor splashes of color]] are especially studied.
65	* ''Film/SingingInTheRain'' is often used to teach color theory because of its extensive use of ColorCodedCharacters and {{Color Motif}}s. ''Film/TheMatrix'' is sometimes used similarly.
66	* The [[BreakingTheFourthWall Fourth Wall-Breaking]] scene in ''Film/WaynesWorld 2'' where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eWsFFQP0gA Wayne complains about the crummy actor they got in to play a bit part]] (and who is promptly replaced [[TheCameo by]] ''Creator/CharltonHeston'') is sometimes shown in acting classes to demonstrate the difference between merely reading lines and ''acting.''
67	* ''Film/{{Yojimbo}}'' is used as a genre piece to pick apart Westerns.
68	[[/folder]]
69
70	[[folder:Geography]]
71	[[AC:Art]]
72	* ''Art/NorthAmericaPortraitOfAContinent'', being an accurately-detailed pictorial map of UsefulNotes/NorthAmerica, naturally proves useful for subjects such as geography, history, culture, and local flora and fauna. Several copies of the map were donated to schools for just this reason.
73	[[AC:Video Games]]
74	* ''VideoGame/SimCity'' is often used to help teach concepts in urban geography (especially the 2D iterations, which run on pretty much any modern PC and can be licensed cheaply).

81
82	[[folder:Government and Politics]]

85	[[/folder]]
86
87	[[folder:Interdisciplinary]]
88	[[AC:Film—Live-Action]]
89	* '''Diagnosis and Depiction of Partial Epileptic Seizures:''' The classic 1945 film ''Film/AMatterOfLifeAndDeath'' by Creator/MichaelPowell [[http://www.powell-pressburger.org/Reviews/46_AMOLAD/AMatterOfFriedOnions.html was cited]] by Diane Friedman for its unusually accurate depiction of a real medical condition, with clinically accurate dialogue used by characters and symptoms portrayed accurately, in addition to the surgical details.
90	[[AC:Live-Action Television]]
91	* '''Physics + Psychology + Biology + Many more:''' ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' is predominantly about a number of genius-level characters in high-level sciences, and their dialogue [[ShownTheirWork is exceptionally accurate]] with a large number of [[GeniusBonus in-jokes that are hard to get without knowing the material]]. Dr. David Salzberg of UCLA is a consultant and all [[TheBigBoard white board equations]] are genuine; apparently his students are encouraged to attend a filming session and pay attention to the boards. Any given episode will have the characters make a reference to some higher level material, often juxtaposed with humor, making it very popular for classroom videos. In particular, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDZCyObMfkA Sheldon training Penny using Positive Reinforcement]] (humorously, Sheldon makes a common mistake regarding Negative Reinforcement, which the show corrected years later).
92	[[AC:Video Games]]
93	* '''Architecture + Creativity + Mathematics + Programming + Survival:''' ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' has been used in school [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO_cs1DrbhA for years]] to teach these things.

[[https://education.minecraft.net/ Part of the official website]] is even dedicated to this.
94	* '''Medicine + Sociology + Psychology:''' ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', in 2005, a new raid dungeon was introduced. The end boss could place a powerful disease, Corrupted Blood, on players to quickly kill them. Some enterprising [[AnAdventurerIsYou "Petmaster"]] players realized that their pets could safely carry the disease out of the dungeon and into the cities to {{Troll}} other players. A player-made epidemic swept the game; the central hubs were filled with corpses, the disease spreading harmlessly to [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] who infected other players, healers attempted to cure the infected, eventually resulting in people abandoning the cities altogether. The servers eventually were shut down to force a fix preventing the disease from leaving the dungeon. The event is now known as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrupted_Blood_incident the Corrupted Blood Incident]] and has been used by universities as a study in how epidemics spread; how a disease from a remote region is brought to urban centers by asymptomatic carriers, how people respond to the threat -- some deliberately seeking it out -- and how authorities react to such events. It has also received some attention as a study in terrorism, given that players deliberately infected cities and plotted how to cause as much damage as possible. Eerily, the study would gain an upswing of attention 15 years later in light of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic.
95	[[AC:Web Original]]
96	* '''Sociology + Physiology:''' Shortly after its completion, ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRed'' was examined in some sociology classes to study both the rapid, spontaneous nature of meme theory, and group dynamics on a large scale.
97	[[AC: Western Animation]]

102	[[AC:Film—Animated]]

104	[[AC:Film—Live-Action]]
105	* ''Film/HisGirlFriday'' is used in some Creative Writing courses to explain rapid fire dialogue for use in stage plays.
106	[[/folder]]
107
108	[[folder:Language]]

119	[[AC:Film—Live-Action]]
120	* The Creator/JoePesci comedy ''Film/MyCousinVinny'' is often shown in law school classes as an example of accurately researched courtroom procedure, as well as Vinny’s numerous ethical breaches, right down to the fact that he was too inexperienced to take the case in the first place.
121	* Many films are used in law school professional responsibility classes and continuing legal education and ethics classes to illustrate ethical problems in the practice of law. Some notable examples include the Creator/JohnGrisham adaptations ''Literature/TheRainmaker'' and ''Literature/TheFirm'' (for their frank depiction of new attorneys being thrust into unethical practices and situations), ''Literature/ToKillAMockingbird'' (with Atticus Finch presented as an example of an attorney who zealously represents his client despite it being unpopular, as required by ethics rules), and ''Film/AndJusticeForAll'' (with Arthur Kirkland presented as an example of an attorney who doesn’t).

129	[[/folder]]
130
131	[[folder:Mathematics]]
132	[[AC:Film—Live-Action]]

Andreas Baader, one of the leaders of the West German leftist terrorist group the Red Army Faction, is said to have regarded this as his favorite movie. On the other side, in 2003 the Pentagon also screened it as part of a primer on ''counter''terrorism at the height of the [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror Iraq War]].
144	* The Creator/GregoryPeck movie ''Film/TwelveOClockHigh'' was used by the United States Air Force Academy to teach the four basic leadership styles, as Peck's character uses all four styles to whip his bomber squadron into shape. It is also used for leadership training at the Air Force's Non-Commissioned Officer Academies.
145	* ''Film/TheWindAndTheLion''. One segment of the film involves U.S. Marines marching through a town and attacking a palace witch an infantry charge. According to Website/TheOtherWiki, the RealLife U.S. Marines play that segment for its advanced infantry classes for midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy. Watch the last part of the scene [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzn7rhNfHLA here]].
146	[[AC:Literature]]
147	* Romance novelist Creator/GeorgetteHeyer did so much research into the Regency and the Napoleonic Wars that her novel ''An Infamous Army'' has been added to the recommended reading list at Sandhurst Military Academy thanks to its superb depiction of the Battle of Waterloo, and extracts from it have been used to ''teach military strategy''.
148	* Creator/RobertAHeinlein's ''Literature/StarshipTroopers'' was put on the US Marine Corps and Navy's recommended reading lists soon after publication and remains there today--the only work of science fiction ever to receive such widespread recognition from the US military.

169	[[/folder]]
170
171	[[folder:Sciences]]
172	[[AC:Film—Live-Action]]
173	* An interesting variation with ''Film/Armageddon1998'' as it's not used to teach knowledge, but rather to ''test'' it. The film is so rife with HollywoodScience, that NASA allegedly uses it to see how many inaccuracies recruits are able to identify in their management training program.
174	* If you study physics long enough you'll probably run into the Galaxy Song from ''Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife''.

201	[[folder:World History]]
202	[[AC:Fan Work]]
203	* ''Fanfic/AThingOfVikings'': A regular refrain in the ''WesternAnimation/HowToTameYourDragon'' fic's reviews is that people have been so fascinated by the story's visit to [[UsefulNotes/TheVikingAge an otherwise obscure era of history]] that the reviewers have started reading up on the time period themselves.
204	[[AC:Film—Animated]]
205	* The song "We Know the Way" and its accompanying scene from the movie WesternAnimation/{{Moana}} has been used in at least one World History class as an illustration of navigation techniques used by the Polynesians.
206	[[AC:Film—Live-Action]]
207	* ''Film/TheBoyInTheStripedPyjamas'' - Used as part of history courses in high school to supplement the World War II unit, something that has been widely criticized by Holocaust historians given that the book is infamously poorly researched and perpetuates the myth that the German civilian populace was unaware of the Holocaust. The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum commented in 2020 that the novel "should be avoided by anyone who studies or teaches about the Holocaust."
208	* ''Film/LifeIsBeautiful'' - Used in middle and high school history courses to supplement the UsefulNotes/WorldWarII unit.

224	* ''Series/LondonsBurning'': Some footage filmed during rescue scenes made its way into Fire Brigade training videos, usually the parts where [[CastTheExpert actual firefighters were playing themselves]], the producers and the London Fire Brigade [[BackedByThePentagon having an arrangement]] where the show's location shoots would double as a training exercise.

228	[[/folder]]
229
230	[[folder:In Universe]]
231	[[AC:Literature]]
232	* ''Literature/ArtemisFowl''. A demon named N'Zall managed to steal a book from humans, and set about protecting their own society against human invasion. Doubly subverted, in that the book was very poorly researched (YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe being the least of its problems) and that the demon, knowing humans were far beyond crossbows as weapons, just used the threat to rule over the demons.
233	[[AC:Live-Action Television]]
234	* ''Series/{{Community}}'' has the characters at a low-rent community college and much of the offered curriculum is esoteric. Abed, the MetaGuy of the group, takes a class entirely dedicated to ''Series/WhosTheBoss'', and proceeds to answer the rhetorical question "Who IS the boss?", upending the driving point of the class. He later takes a class on analyzing Creator/NicolasCage and, attempting to determine if he is a good actor, ends up [[RoomFullOfCrazy having a nervous breakdown]].
235	[[AC:Western Animation]]
236	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' Lisa pretends to be a college student and attends a semester-long class on ''JustForFun/TheItchyAndScratchyShow''.
