Top 10 Education Movies Of All Time!

As I was sitting and writing dissertation papers for my college class, I wondered why schools and colleges have to make education so boring for students. This sort of education doesn’t happen in the movies! As a free-lance academic writer and a college student, I am very inspired by such movies. A few of my all time favourite educational movies are listed below:

1)      The Emperor’s Club: A movie about a principled and passionate school teacher’s efforts to teach a senator’s spoilt and arrogant son which leads him to commit a mistake and learn a hard lesson that haunts him for decades.

 

2)      School of Rock: A movie filled with rock and roll and entertainment about a wanna-be rocker who poses as a substitute teacher and invents a highly unorthodox method of teaching.

 

3)      Wild Child: A fun movie about a spoilt Malibu girl whose father becomes fed-up of her antics and sends her off to a private boarding school that her mother had attended in her youth, in hopes that she might rediscover herself.

 

4)      Freedom Writers:  A movie filled with emotion about a teacher who gets a job  at a school which had recently implemented an integration program and her struggles to understand the at-risk students and teaching them tolerance and trust.

 

5)      Mona Lisa Smile: A truly classic movie about a modern, independent and free-thinking art teacher who tries to teach her conservative students to question the norms of their society.

 

6)      Cheaters: A movie about a teacher who gets a job at a underfunded school and conspires with the student to cheat and win at an academic competition.

 

7)      Dead Poets Society: A movie about a teacher at an aristocratic and conservative boarding school who inspires in his students a love of poetry and to question the status-quo.

 

8)      The Miracle Worker: A movie about the courageous Annie Sullivan, who was the teacher of the blind, deaf and dumb Helen Keller, and her struggles to teach her to communicate.

 

9)      Election: A comedy about a high school teacher whose life becomes a living hell when the time for the high school elections comes.

 

10)   Matilda: A movie about a highly gifted telekinetic girl and her struggles to deal with her obnoxious parents and principal with the help of a beloved teacher.
