Inspirational Teacher Movies

I was contemplating movies that inspire or encourage teaching. As I reflected on this, I thought back to the first time I watched Stand and Deliver. This movie was inspirational as I watched a teacher demonstrate an unwillingness to accept poor performance by students. At that this point, I changed my thinking - worrying about the individual student and their success in class. Lately, I have again altered my thinking to be more along the lines of "What did we learn" rather than "What did I teach." I'm trying to focus more on how and what my students are learning than on what "I do" as their teacher. It's a paradigm shift that I hope encourages my students to do their best, complete all assignments, and learn the concepts that will be on our state science test.

I posted a question on Twitter asking my tweeple what their favorite education movies are. The results of this are posted below. Thanks to all who responded.
