The Copyright exception is for excerpts -- for critique and review only. If you show an entire movie, you would still be in violation, IF you show a movie you brought from home. All of the movies in a school library (not in a public library though) have been purchased under a public performance license, so they can be shown to as many people as you want. That license comes at a VERY steep price though -- a DVD of a disney movie, for example, would be $75-100.
