My favorite is "Finding Forrester".  Although this is a story about a
high achieving young man and his mentor, it still encompasses many
issues about race, poverty and expectations.

The Fonda/DeNiro movie was "Stanley and Iris"  (1990) and yes, it's "Mr.
Holland's Opus."

There is also the "Good Morning Vietnam" movie where Robin Williams does
a 
very funny ESL scene.  Also, Mr. (Somebody's) Opus."  Was it
"Holland,"?? 
"Can't remember the teacher's name.  But I also loved Educating Rita.

And Jane Fonda and Robert Deniro did a wonderful "sleeper" about
teaching an

adult to read a few years back.  Anyone remember the name of that one?
