So, I am studying to be a teacher for my second degree. I want to teach English (High School). In our survey class we were discussing "Outstanding Teachers" and my Professor showed clips from "Stand and Deliver" and "Dead Poets Society" those movies both looked awesome though they had two different teaching styles entirely.

Any other "good teacher" movies that you suggest?
 
Wasn''t there a movie called "Lean on Me?" If I remember correctly, it reminded me of "Stand and Deliver."

What about "Fame?" It sounds funny, but the new commercials for the new movie show teachers who say inspirational things to their students. I think.

Here''s a list that I got when I googled "teacher movies." It''s a list from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Top-Greatest-Teacher-Movies-Time/lm/32REB5EBQVLK3
 
The Emperors'' Club
 
Mr Holland''s Opus
 
Freedom Writers
 
"To Sir With Love"
"Up The Down Staircase"
"The Corn is Green"

I don''t remember it, but was, "The Blackboard Jungle" inspirational?

Okay, I''m really not a fan of teacher movies for a whole host of reasons, but:

Dangerous Minds
Freedom Writers
Mona Lisa Smile
Akilah and the Bee
Finding Forrester (more about mentorship, but still...)
The Emperor''s Club

And...you can make a case for Harry Potter here, too.
 
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
The Miracle Worker
Conrack
 
To Sir With Love (Sydney Poitier *sigh*)
And just for fun, Sister Act II
