Antonio's usual thorough list. I can only add one: Professor Dave Jennings (Donald Sutherland) from National Lampoon's Animal House: "I'm expecting papers from some of you on this... Listen, I'm not joking! This is my job!" (one of @ 250 LOL lines from that classic movie.)

John Keating is a particular favorite. That scene at the end, with the desks...that's lump-in-the-throat material for me, every time.

[bankholdup]

SEAN from GOOD WILL HUNTING. He tought a class at the college also, aside from being a shrink.

[noisy_brut]

Mr. Hand
Sean from Good Will Hunting
The teacher from Varsity Blues who also stripped

[Benny]

Definitely Matthew Broderick's Mr. McAllister character in Election. The guy was a grown-up Ferris Bueller, he was great!

[Dr Martin Luther Loomis]

Morgan Freeman - LEAN ON ME
Vincent Schiavelli - FAST TIMES & BETTER OFF DEAD
Matthew Broderick - ELECTION
Paul Gleason - THE BREAKFAST CLUB
Robin Williams - DEAD POETS SOCIETY
Edward James Olmos - STAND & DELIVER
Ray Walston - FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH
William Hurt - CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD
Kevin Kline - IN & OUT
Mark Harmon - SUMMER SCHOOL

I think if Mr. Myagi had stepped foot in the classroom, all above butts would be kicked! (Pun just realized - not intended)

BUMP

[Carrie]

Mr. Hand is my all time absolute favorite.

I also love Mr. Vargas from the same film...

"Gimme a break - I just switched to Sanka, so - have a heart."

After those 2, it's Sir from to Sir With Love.

[FeverDog420]

I don't know if he's my fave, but Morgan Freeman's Joe Clark in Lean on Me is one whom I quote often:

"All I gotta do is stay black and die!"

Since I'm white, I usually get strange looks from those who don't get the reference...

[ColinM]

[Grebdron]

Ben Stein- Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Hands down!!

"Bueller, Bueller?"

"Something DOO economics? Anyone? VOO DOO economics?"

[Jasonite]

The best IMHO was Robert Donat as Mr.Chips.

J

[arto_j]

All the good serious ones have been mentioned, so I might as well bring up Mr. Garrison from South Park.

But, Antonio's list is (surprise, surprise) pretty complete.

[Wurms]

Harrison Ford - INDY series. How cool would it be to have Indiana Jones as a college professor?

"So professor, what did you do during summer break?"

"Oh, the usual, trip China, ran from gangsters, jumped from a plane without a parachute, broke into a temple where a psycho rips hearts out of people with his bare hands, race on mine carts, almost fall off a broken bridge into a river full of aligators. Not exactly an exciting vacation."

Takeshi Kitano - BATTLE ROYALE (japanese movie)

[Antonio]

Two more babes for the road: Laura Klein (Isabella Rossellini) in FEARLESS and Jane Spofford (Susan Sarandon) in THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK. Not the traditional teachers (as they taught ballet and music appreciation), but effective nevertheless in two powerful movies centering around spirituality.

[austin2408]

michelle phifer in dangerous minds.....
cant think of any other ones.

[Tom Samborski]

Tom Arnold in Big Bully

[Ed]

I think Hellen Mirren in Teaching Mrs Tingle was hilarious, she's like my worst nightmare

[BadCoverVersion]

*Brian Glover as Mr Sugden in "Kes"!

10/10

[Favourite end]

Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind -my dream for a maths teacher http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif
Aside from the joke -Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society -the most perfect teacher in Literature I`ve ever seen

Classic!!

[After student provides incorrect answer to math problem]
Mr. Garrison: All right, now let's hear it from someone who isn't a complete retard?

Mr. Garrison: Sorry kids, I just can't trust something that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.

and

Cartman: Don't call me fat, you fucking jew!
Mr. Garrison: Eric, did you just say the F-word?
Cartman: Jew?
Kyle: No, he's talking about "fuck". You can't say "fuck" in school, you fucking fat-ass!
Cartman: Why the fuck not?
Mr. Garrison: Eric!
Stan: Dude, you just said "fuck" again!
Mr. Garrison: Stanley!
Kenny: Fuck!
Mr. Garrison: Kenny!
Cartman: What's the big deal? It doesn't hurt anybody. Fuck-fuckety-fuck-fuck-fuck.
Mr. Garrison: How would you like to go see the school councelor?
Cartman: How would you like to suck my balls?
Mr. Garrison: What did you say?
Cartman: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Actually, what I said was...

Cartman: HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUCK MY BALLS?
Stan: Holy shit, dude. http://www.plauder-smilies.de/laugh2.gif
