Didn't they ever show films in class at your high school? And what about all those film classes in college- the ones where the point of the entire class is to watch movies?

There is actually a specific exemption to the public performance right for classroom showings. For the larger performances, they probably had a license, and hiredgun, your university might have one too that you could be covered by. Somehow I kinda doubt they'll allow it even if they did, but it couldn't hurt to ask.
