I've been hearing some very good things about this movie
Arrow Review

Anyone seen it?

Perhaps a list of your favourite teaching movies while were at it.

Here's a couple off the top of my head:

Arrow Educating Rita
Arrow Dead Poets Society

My wife watched it while I was using the computer and I partly paid attention. It seemed like an interesting character study but not exceptionally dramatic. Probably not the kind of movie you'd show to students.

I've seen it. Good movie. More about Gosling struggling with drug addiction, and bordering on an inappropriate relationship with a middle school girl than it is about teaching.
Good movie. I'd give it a 7/10.
