To Sir, with Love (1967)

Timeless Classic!
TSWL has been a favourite of mine for many years. They picked a really great cast to make this film. Although made and set in 1960s London there are certain things that are still relevant to todays world; problem kids no teacher wants in his/her class, racial profiling & stereotyping. This film shows how one man (Poitier) made a difference in trying to tackle these problem at the time.
My other reason for liking this film is that I am into the "Swingin 60s.", its music, its art and fashion, etc.
If you like this film, you would enjoy the two British TV series also set in the 60s; Heartbeat and The Royal; although these are made in the 2000s.

Fabulous
One of Poitiers' best ever!! With an assortment of great supporting cast, music, story and backdrop, To Sir With Love is a classic. Poitier is an out of work enginner who takes a job as a teacher in one of the worst schools in London. When at first he cannot seem to get through to the students with regular teaching methods, Poitiers character takes on a completly different way that teaches both the students and himself about the possibilities in life. Everyone should watch this movie, it was a favorite when I was young and still one today!!
