Movies that involve a teacher turning around miscreant students such as: Blackboard Jungle To Sir with Love Stand and deliver Lean on Me And the others, not as well made but entertaining The Principal The Substitute
I do have a favorite snow movie. I live in Alabama where if we get an inch or two everything is shut down. So when that happens my go to movie is... The Shawshank Redemption
To Kill A Mockingbird. Great book and the movie rendition is superb. I have read the book and watched the movie many times and never tire.
I should read that one again sometime. Borrowed it from the library when I was at highschool and enjoyed it very much. I didn't know there was a movie, so I'll have to look out for that one as well! Thanks for mentioning it, Rich!
The Godfather I & II Goodfellas Casino Home Alone A Christmas Story Apollo 13 Predator Talladega Nights Friday Night Lights The Sting B&W Classics: Casablanca (The Germans wore gray you wore blue..............)
