There&#8217;s plenty of <strong>good stuff<\/strong> here and the writer is out on exactly how <strong>funny<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000139\/\" target=\"_blank\">Diaz<\/a> really is. She gives the part everything she&#8217;s got.<\/p>\n<h3>Selfish plans<\/h3>\n<p>While Elizabeth is only <strong>driven by<\/strong> her own <strong>selfish plans<\/strong>, she sounds like the kind of<strong> teacher<\/strong> someone might <strong>like to have<\/strong> at their school, at least in theory.<\/p>\n<p>She tries to <strong>raise money<\/strong> by attending her class` car wash in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-1197471\/Cameron-Diaz-toughens-provocative-Madonna-style-cover-shoot.html\" target=\"_blank\">provocative clothing <\/a>and <strong>does everything<\/strong> in her power in order <strong>to earn<\/strong> the <strong>bonus<\/strong> her school gives to the <strong>teacher of the class<\/strong> with the highest test scores, even <strong>stealing<\/strong> the state test answers and give them to her students.<\/p>\n<p>Despite none of the major characters being a student, <strong>Elizabeth<\/strong> is seen <strong>interacting<\/strong> on a personal level with one of them, to whom <strong>she gives advice<\/strong>. The kid had an unrequited crush on the<strong> superficial popularity<\/strong> queen of his class and this incident causes her to reflect on how<strong> she<\/strong> has been <strong>superficial as well<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is this movie in here?<\/h3>\n<p>Sure <strong>Elizabeth<\/strong> isn`t the<strong> role model<\/strong> that we expect in a teacher, but she is that <strong>breath of fresh air<\/strong> every student needs from time to time. As this <strong>high-school satire<\/strong> stars Cameron Diaz, you know you are bound to <strong>laugh your head off<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>2nd: Stand and Deliver<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stand and Deliver - Trailer\" width=\"625\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sG-Cxs8eYkI?feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"formatted-entry-p\">Right up there with Dangerous minds<em>, <\/em>\u201cStand and Deliver\u201d tells the <strong>story of a high school mathematics teacher<\/strong> who takes a class of <strong>potential dropouts a<\/strong>nd <strong>transforms<\/strong> them, in the course of <strong>one school year<\/strong>, into kids who have learned so much that <strong>18 of them<\/strong> are able to <strong>pass<\/strong> a tough college credit calculus exam, an exam so hard that only <strong>2 percent of students<\/strong> nationwide can<strong> pass it<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24981 size-medium alignright\" title=\"Edward James Olmos teaching technique\" src=\"http:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/stand-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"Edward James Olmos in Stand and Deliver movie\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/stand-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/stand.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/>It&#8217;s a<strong> true story<\/strong> of a<strong> teacher<\/strong> who managed to motivate a group of <strong>struggling students<\/strong> to attempt one of the greatest academic challenges a high school <strong>student can undertake<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>True Story<\/h3>\n<p>Edward James Olmos portrays the real-life <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biography.com\/people\/jaime-escalante-189368\" target=\"_blank\">Jaime Escalante<\/a>, a no-nonsense <strong>mathematics teacher<\/strong> in a tough <strong>East LA high school<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Jaime<strong> uses<\/strong> his own <strong>out-of-the-books approach<\/strong> when it comes to <strong>teaching methods<\/strong>, using <strong>examples<\/strong> out of the <strong>everyday lives<\/strong> of his students,<strong> making them think<\/strong> things out for themselves, announcing that the \u201cpunishment\u201d for <strong>not working hard<\/strong> is to be banished from the class &#8211; a class <strong>most of the kids<\/strong> would <strong>rather be out<\/strong> of, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>students<\/strong> gradually come to<strong> realize<\/strong> that the <strong>only way<\/strong> they&#8217;ll<strong> escape<\/strong> their<strong> own poverty<\/strong> is to<strong> improve<\/strong> themselves intellectually and as a<strong> result<\/strong>, the class&#8217; <strong>academic achievements soar dramatically<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Isn`t this the same as the previous movie?<\/h3>\n<p>It`s true there are <strong>several similarities<\/strong>. But while there are <strong>many films<\/strong> about teachers breaking through to tough students &#8211; many trivial and formula-written, this is one of the few <strong>truly powerful films<\/strong> in this genre. Stand and Deliver has <strong>several messages<\/strong> and <a href=\"www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0001579\/\" target=\"_blank\">Edward James Olmos,<\/a> along with the rest of the crew, deliver an <strong>outstanding performance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is particularly <strong>true of the students<\/strong>, who manage to carry out convincing <strong>adolescent dialogue<\/strong>. The role of the<strong> teacher<\/strong> was <strong>not glorified<\/strong>, <strong>but treated<\/strong> as a regular<strong> human being<\/strong> who was <strong>doing his best<\/strong> to do something good, either in the right or the wrong way.

But whatever opinions others around her had,<strong> she never gave up<\/strong> on her students.<\/p>\n<p>Her <strong>teaching methods<\/strong> are inventive, definitely what you expect from the <strong>usual teacher<\/strong>. She <strong>bullied, bluffed, and bribed her students<\/strong> into <strong>caring about schoo<\/strong>l and soon they were to be found in the school library.<\/p>\n<p>Should <strong>her methods not work<\/strong>, she also had a safety net set right from the beginning, as <strong>LouAnne<\/strong>, the pretty, petite <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usmarinesbirthplace.com\/United-States-Marines-facts.html\" target=\"_blank\">ex-marine<\/a> told them she&#8217;d been<strong> trained<\/strong> to <a href=\"http:\/\/listverse.com\/2007\/11\/11\/25-methods-for-killing-with-your-bare-hands\/\" target=\"_blank\">kill with her bare hands<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"quote_shortcode\" class=\"sixtop-post-quote post-quote-right\" >\n<div class=\"quote-sign-box hidden-on-desktop\"><\/div>\n<p>        &ldquo; Heartwarming story about a socially discarded students  &rdquo;<\/p>\n<div id=\"quote_shortcode_after\">\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>So isn`t a teacher that threatens her students a bad role model?<\/h3>\n<p>Definitely not. What we can easily notice in this movie is that LouAnne had the <strong>right idea<\/strong> of what it means <strong>to be a teacher<\/strong>. Where the school system saw thirty-four unreachable kids, she saw <strong>young men and women<\/strong> <strong>with intelligence<\/strong> and dreams.<\/p>\n<p>When others<strong> gave up<\/strong> on them, <strong>she broke the rules<\/strong> to give them the best things a teacher can <strong>give<\/strong> &#8211;<strong> hope and belief in themselves<\/strong>. When statistics showed the chances were they&#8217;d never graduate, she fought to <strong>beat the odds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Michelle Pfeiffer is at<strong> her best<\/strong>, giving a<strong> funny, scrappy performance<\/strong> that makes you feel a committed teacher&#8217;s fire to <strong>make a difference<\/strong>. She <strong>perfectly captures<\/strong> the <strong>passion and warmth<\/strong> of her character.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/6toplists.com\/best-teacher-student-movies-7th-4th-place\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"prev\" >\n<div id=\"prev_link\" >7th-4th place<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3rd:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":25006,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1522],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24951"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24951\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29351,"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24951\/revisions\/29351"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/25006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/6toplists.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
