Top 10 School Movies

Over the years, the school yard has proven to be fertile ground for filmmakers. Here are some of our favorite movies and TV shows about the timeless struggle between students and teachers. They're all available on DVD.

Blackboard Jungle

The story of one determined teacher struggling to turn around a failing urban school is practically a genre all its own, but it all started with Blackboard Jungle. Glenn Ford plays a teacher who butts heads with unruly students and an apathetic administration, in one of the first mainstream movies to take a frank look at racial tensions in America. The film is also credited with helping to jump-start the rock and roll craze, introducing the song "Rock Around the Clock" to a wide audience. (1955, Not Rated)
