Best Characters

There are a bunch of movies that feature teachers prominently. In most movies, teachers are a nameless bunch who often times lurk in the background and don&#39;t play much of a role in shaping the plot line. The fictional teachers on this list are different. They play prominent roles in the movies they are in and their teaching and mentoring of the characters is an integral part of the movie. Whenever Robin Williams is sporting a thick beard, he is playing a serious role. Playing the parts of John Keating in Dead Poets Society and Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting, Williams thrived as these characters and they are considered two of the best fictional <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-teacher-characters-in-film/ranker-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">teachers in movies</a>.

Though he&#39;s not a teacher in the traditional sense, Mr. Miyagi proved to be one of the greatest mentors in movie history. He taught Daniel LaRusso (and later Julie Pierce) discipline and how to outsmart and outthink his opponents. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Dewey Finn, played by Jack Black in School of Rock. Not a teacher by trade, Finn taught his class of 10-year-olds life lessons and how to play rock music and by the end of the film, learned a thing or two about himself.

Unforgettable Film Characters

Teachers

Teachers are unsung heroes. In real life, teachers can guide, inspire and prepare children for the world. And&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/comedy-movies-about-teachers/ranker-film" target="_blank">in movies</a>, on-screen&nbsp;teachers can inspire audiences. Who doesn&rsquo;t love Miss Honey in Matilda? Or Hilary Swank in Freedom Writers?&nbsp;Or&nbsp;Michelle Pfeiffer&rsquo;s Louanne Johnson in Dangerous Minds, who proves&nbsp;her intensity by staring&nbsp;down Coolio in the &ldquo;Gangsta&rsquo;s Paradise&rdquo; music video?

But not every teacher is making their Mr. Holland&rsquo;s Opus. Some teachers are problematic, lazy, and grossly unprofessional. Even some of&nbsp;the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-fictional-teachers" target="_blank">best fictional teachers</a> can cross lines that would never fly in the real world.&nbsp;

A few of these fictional teachers can be better at their job. It may make for a less entertaining film, but it&rsquo;s important to honor what it takes to be a teacher. Here&rsquo;s a list of some teachers in film history who could have stepped up their game to get a better grade.
