Yeah, I remember thinking while watching the Nice White Lady video, "This pretty much is Dangerous Minds." At least One Thousand Violins is a decent movie.
Ooh, I had no idea they made To Sir With Love with Sidney Poitier! It's going on my to-watch list. The dearth of cool black women teachers on the screen makes me haz a sad, since my favorite teacher when I went to school in the States was black.
I'm so sorry to hear about your experience with Dead Poets Society. D: I hate spoilers as much as the next guy, but couldn't he have just quietly excused you from the movie? I guess that might have required him to act like a human being and everything and was way too much trouble.
