    As a former teacher, I'm a sucker for a good inspirational movie about the teaching profession. Which is your favorite? If other, please specifiy. Hope I didn't leave out any obvious choices....

    I've honestly only seen one of those movies, that being Dead Poets Society. However, being much more of a math-type person than a poetry-type person, I had to vote for Stand and Deliver.

    Good Lord. That movie was not good. If you listen carefully, there is a point in the movie where you can distinctly hear Mark Harmon's career screeching to a halt. ;)

    I went with Mr. Holland's Opus.

    On list - Dead Poets Society

    Off list - Good Will Hunting

    I liked GWH better than DPS but not by much.

    Stand And Deliver and Lean On Me were both pretty good movies too.

    I couldn't remember the name of the movie. I am glad you thought of it.

    I just saw one today with Morgan Freeman in it, but I didn't catch the title. (It was on tv).

    I picked Emperor's Club. I haven't seen Dead Poet's Society or Mr. Holland's Opus.

    Yeah, Stand and Deliver was also a good one, although it was based on a true story, and it was found that the students had cheated.

    The Morgan Freeman one is Lean On Me, I think. Was he an activist/principal?

    I also like 187, even though that movie wasn't about teaching, exactly.
