Let’s not forget the ‘Children’s Hour’ (1961), just to remember that the little darlings are not always so sweet.
Pls don’t forget to include Good Morning Miss Dove, a 1956 classic starring Jennifer Jones. You can find this movie in Youtube and it’s great, inspiring, and makes you want to be proud you are a teacher.
You could even put The Kings Speech into the list.
Your list of ‘classics’ doesn’t list enough classics. Where is ‘Blackboard Jungle?‘ - raw and grittier than saccharine and sappy ‘To Sir With Love.‘ And the best, most realistic New York City teacher movie was ‘Up the Down Staircase.‘ Another great one conspicuously absent from your list is ‘Lean on Me.‘ If you’re going to list something as silly as ‘The Karate Kid,‘ why not list ‘Drunken Master,‘ in which a young Jackie Chan learns humility and awesome fighting skills from a drunken old kung fu master.
How’s about Kindergarten Cop!!! Arnie’s funniest film…
