I just saw a trivia tv show which had a question something like "The movie was filmed by John and __". The options were I or Me. And they said the answer was Me, not I.
I thought the rule was ALWAYS when saying "me and John" that it MUST be rephrased as "John and I".
Are there exceptions to this rule?

Look at the sentence: "...BY John and me." Me is objective case after the preposition 'by.' If you said "John and I are going to the movies," then I is correct because it is nominative case as subject of the sentence. So you need to see how "I" or "me" is being used; same with 'him, he,' and 'her, she.'

It means deviations from the standard. In your example, that would be the majority of the students work hard, but there are always those who don't. They are the exceptions to the 'working hard' rule.

You have the rule wrong.
To see which is correct, take out the "John and". It is correct to say "The movie was filmed by me" - not I.
Therefore "John and me" is correct in this case.
