Everybody had a teacher like this, at one time.

Rating: 9/10 (12 June 2003)

I didn't see this movie until years after it came out. I was moved by the transformation Mr. Holland made during his time teaching, and the final realization he made of what was really important to him.
I had teachers like this throughout school, and the fond memories of them came back while watching this movie. No matter how many times I watch it, I'm still touched by it.
If you like this one, I'd recommend seeing "The Emperor's club."
