One of my favorite movies(when I was very small as well as now) was and is Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, where two guys who are about to fail history class are given a time machine and kidnap historical figures to help them pass their class. When I first saw it, I had heard of a lot of the people they kidnap, like Lincoln, Beethoven and Billy the Kid. I'd never heard of other people like Socrates. They keep pronouncing his name "Sew-crates," in the movie, and for the longest time, I went around mispronouncing his name, because I didn't have the common sense to never believe that Bill and Ted know how to say something correctly.
