Films
Educational institutions, teachers, and learners have featured strongly in the cinema. Films ranging from high farce comedy (The Belles of St. Trinian’s) to sentimental portraits of a teacher (Goodbye, Mr Chips and Mr Holland’s Opus) can tell us something about the way in which society represents teachers, learners and the educational process.
The list below, although not comprehensive, features mainly UK, US, Australasian, and Canadian made films with the addition of a few others that have become well known in the English speaking world. The films are listed in alphabetical order except that the definite article has been ignored when it is the first word in a title. In compiling this section we have relied heavily on Halliwell’s Film Guide, The Radio Times Guide to Films, and The Time Out Film Guide, and We acknowledge Our debt to all three of these publications as well as to many internet sites.
