Must-Watch Inspirational Teacher Movies
Over the decades, there have been many inspiring movies that revolve around teachers making a
huge difference in the lives of their students. Beyond just being feel-good flicks, these films teach
us important life lessons that we would do well to learn and apply. Here are some teacher movies
truly worth watching.
Finding Forrester (2000)
The learning experience in this film doesn’t take place in the traditional classroom, but it is a
classic example of what it takes to indulge in mentorship. Reclusive writer William Forrester
(Sean Connery) encounters a young African-American male, Jamal Wallace (Rob Brown), from
the slums whose writing intrigues him. He proceeds to help the boy in his writing, as well an in
various other aspects of life and love.
Dead Poets Society (1989)
Considered as the best teacher movie of all time by many, “Dead Poets Society” is the story of
how a teacher (played by Robin Williams) not just impacts, but changes the lives of several boys
in a conservative high school in mid-20th century U.S. His unorthodox teaching methods help
them to “seize the day” and appreciate poetry as a wonderful thing people read and write not just
because it’s cute, but because we are members of the human race.
Il Postino (1994)
A foreign film that explores the relationship of Nobel-winning poet Pablo Neruda and his postman
Mario during his exile in an Italian island, this is a heartwarming and bittersweet mentor-mentee
movie that shows the redemptive powers of poetry. It doesn’t get any more democratic as when
Mario tells Neruda that “poetry belongs not to those who write it, but to those who need it.”
