Why don't we get the best out of people? Sir Ken Robinson argues that it's because we've been educated to become good workers, rather than creative thinkers. Students with restless minds and bodies -- far from being cultivated for their energy and curiosity -- are ignored or even stigmatized, with terrible consequences. "We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says. It's a message with deep resonance. Robinson's TED Talk has been distributed widely around the Web since its release in June 2006. The most popular words framing blog posts on his talk? "Everyone should watch this."

Three juvenile delinquents from the city, and one dorky outsider, are dropped in the Scottish Highlands and left to find their way back to civilization, as a part of a camping trip competition. Things get crazier when a mysterious lunatic starts hunting them. The film has already garnered critical acclaim for being a dark comedy that seamlessly weaves social critique with horror, comedy, and adventure.
