As John Keating, an eccentric English teacher at Welton Academy who utilizes his love of poetry and classic literature to break down Welton’s stifling walls, Robin Williams is in top form. Keating encourages his students to’seize the day’, defy the school’s rigid norms, and be who they actually are.

3. Good Will Hunting (1997)

Matt Damon’s portrayal as Will Hunting, a 20-year-old math genius with a history of street fights and run-ins with the law, is flawless. The movie demonstrates the power of a determined underachiever to change his or her fortunes.

4. School of Rock (2003)

Here, Jack Black stars as a struggling musician who, via a combination of impromptu interviews, Led Zeppelin riffs, and his own unbridled passion for music, manages to transform a group of jaded upper-class youths into a mini-rock band.

The film was never going to be a contender for the Best Picture Oscar, but it’s a fascinating example of how even the most unlikely of people can be changed for the better by education.

Watch Jack Black use song as a teaching tool.

6. Stand and Deliver (1988)

Academic achievement can be achieved by anyone, regardless of their history or current situation, as demonstrated by Stand and Deliver. The narrative shows that no matter what you’ve been told in the past, anything is possible.
