Your Favorite "White Savior Teacher Helps Ghetto School" film...

[SteyrAUG]

There are so many...

Blackboard Jungle (1955)
Teachers (1984)
Wildcats (1986)
The Principal (1987)
Dangerous Minds (1995)
The Substitute (1996)
Freedom Writers (2007)

Non white guy teachers who help ghettos school films...

Stand and Deliver (1988)
Lean on Me (1989)
187 (1997)

Honestly, most of these were a lot of fun despite being a blatant exercise in social engineering that teeters on racial exploitation themes.

Class of 1984.

There was a time in this country when punk rockers were more feared than sorry ass black kids who can't pull up their pants.

Almost put that one on the list, but I don't think the teacher actually helped anyone. Funny as hell now to think of Timothy Van Patten as a hard core. I also left out films like Breakfast Club and Fast Times at Ridgemont High for similar reasons.

Maybe. These movies are exercises in white guilt.

Just once I wanna see a teacher say "You suck, Tremondre. You just suck at life. There's no hope for ya. All you do is steal, screw, get high, remain ignorant, eat free food, and shit. You are a waste of sperm. You should be a stain on a mattress"

or better yet....some liberal teacher goes to an all black school in the hood and gets driven mad and pulls a reverse Columbine as 3Teeth's cover of Pumped Up Kicks plays.


Anyways we need more abortions and crucifixions.

Also does Welcome Back Kotter count?

187 with Samuel Jackson came damn close.

[titsonritz]

I tend to prefer the ones based on true stories like Stand and Deliver, Lean on Me and Freedom Writers.

Nah nah nah nah naw.

That had too much leeway. A black teacher trying to reach chicanos? Naw.

I want a lily white homosexual teacher who is thoroughly brainwashed to go through a year of harassment, ridicule, racially motivated abuse, and physical harm and be pushed to the total edge. I want legit gang affiliated people to rub his face in the futility until he stalks room by room gunning down his oppressors. I even have a funny scene in my head of them trying to run as they trip on their pants and he shows no mercy while 3Teeth is blaring. I want there to be begging and crying and vain attempts to pull pistols on him as he alternates from rifle to shotgun and I want it to be almost over the top gory and he gets taken out by the SWAT team.

I think it would be a jarring wake up call to the youth of today.

I mean they aren’t that old. I frequently tell youth. “Don’t think you cannot be replaced. 17 years comes and goes fast”

And I want Rob Zombie to direct

What parts are Sid Haig and Sheri Moon going to play?

I dunno, "R U Dun" was pretty epic.

Dangerous Minds came out when I was in high school and Michelle Pfeiffer was smoking hot. Plus Gangster's Paradise was a banging tune.

It was a cheap ripoff of Amish Paradise.
I cite Batman Returns as peak Pfeiffer

Amen, Weird Al is a genius.

Anyway, am in for Blackboard Jungle.

Sid Haig is the foul mouthed alcoholic janitor and Sheri Moon Zombie is the bitchy Librarian

I’m actually looking forward to 3 From Hell. House of a thousand corpses was dumb but Devils Rejects was Awesome Town

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

Band of the Hand
The Substitute

[BoringGuy45]

What about Coach Carter?

[jpmuscle]

What was the flick with the Hispanic teacher who goes in and befriends the local hoods in the high school and turns them around? I’m pretty sure it was set in California somewhere.

Stand and Deliver (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_and_Deliver)

[The_War_Wagon]

The Principal had a better soundtrack. And Jim Belushi was still nominally cool in those days.

The Substitute was a better teacher, though. :cool:

They should be perfect.

Devils Rejects is great, his best I think. I did enjoy his Halloween movies. That creepy kid nailed a neophyte Michael Myers. And then there is Werewolf Women of the SS

...better yet....some liberal teacher goes to an all black school in the hood and gets driven mad and pulls a reverse Columbine as 3Teeth's cover of Pumped Up Kicks plays...

Sorta like Falling Down, Kotter

The Principal had an awesome soundtrack. "Set if Off" by Strafe is still one of my favorites.

The Substitute with Tom Berenger.
