required by LAW

Mandated due to your having a Light Anti-Tank Weapon ("LAW") rocket aimed at you.

Osama bin Laden has zero concern about the legality/ethics of his terrorist actions; the only time he'll practice reasonable behavior is if it's required by LAW, i.e., if he's actually lookin' down the snout of an anti-tank rocket.

required viewing

"Required viewing" categorises video of any format that you expect another person to have seen before you can even begin to consider them worthy of your attention.
Most often used by geeks who will refuse to explain what they are talking about once they realise you've not seen the TV show or movie.
Can also be used for audio: "Required listening".

Me: So I said "This is my BOOMSTICK!!!"
Them: Boomstick?
Me: ...
Me: From the movie Army of Darkness... its required viewing

required reading

Just another bu**s**t compulsory activity (like in-depth studying of history or science or chemistry) in school dat usually just wastes your time/energy/patience and very seldom has any use in future life or employment.

I imagine that "required reading" has often significantly contributed to childhood dissatisfaction and lack of bonding among siblings, since many a youngster has had to sadly play by himself because Big Bro/Sis had to study books instead of paying attention to said toddler.
