To Sir, With Love [Blu-ray]

Great movie

Good movie

What can I say about this movie? Let's start With Sidney Poitier. He is an excellent actor and he is one of the men who was critical to changing how Black actors and actresses were portrayed in film. The film is revolutionary and groundbreaking. This is a film everyone should see.

I really enjoy this movie. I saw it the theater when it was released.

Love Sidney Poitier

Powerful movie ! When you to love teach practicals with love grace and boundaries and humility . Much can be overcome. Race, generational gaps, economic differences.

As I dimly recall of the movie which is on my list of 'to gets' Sidney was originally trying to make ends meet until he could find an engineering job. I don't believe he had any formal background as a teacher but he needed the work. At first he started out as any frustrated teacher until he realized that the only learning students relate to, especially difficult ones, was practical learning! Museums, classroom participation so they'd feel like they were contributing something. Calling them by Mr. and Miss to show respect. The teaching that respect is gotten when given. He taught them the valuable lesson that whatever their background problems were, it was no excuse to be less than what they could be. In the end, the students taught Mr. Poitier more than he ever dreamed when in the last scene he receives his acceptance to a engineering firm. A couple students from the next year's class came in voicing the same "I'm going to take over" arrogance. Sidney tore up his letter realizing that his calling was that of a teacher and judging from his first class, he was a damn good one!We learned what teaching really is. You're born, not made.In a time of teacher strikes when all teachers care about is themselves, To Sir With Love may just demonstrate what teaching was ment to be. I do however remember the awful singing of LuLu one of the students. When she starts warbling, I'll be running to the Principal's Office!

I love this show.

Great Quality!!

Un classique! Super film des années 60.

There's a fair bit one could say is “wrong” with this film – it's predictable, clichéd, dated, and not least of all the sixteen-year old school kids are played by actors and actresses who are in reality in their late 'teens or early twenties and look too old for their parts, but nevertheless “To Sir With Love” is still a bleedin' fantastic film. What an amazing cast – Scottish singer Lulu who plays the part of working class Londoner Barbara “Babs” Pegg, does with a very convincing London accent, and she also provides some of the music soundtrack of the film, other cast members include Judy Geeson, Adrienne Posta, Suzy Kendall, Geoffrey Bayldon, Patricia Routledge, Emmerdale's Christopher Chittell, and the star of the film, the very handsome Sidney Poitier, it has a solid if perhaps predictable story, that is told well, and it has some fantastic music. Since I first saw “To Sir With Love” decades ago now, I've always loved the film but hadn't seen it for many years, and I thought I might be taking a risk in watching it again as there might be the possibility that my appreciation of the film could have changed in a negative way – but not a chance! It still is bleedin' fantastic. The music, some of which I suppose sounds somewhat dated in the twenty-first century is still one of the major appeals of the film for me. The first scene as the opening credits roll and drums and a bass-line are heard before Lulu sings “Those schoolgirl days ….” is just brilliant, the music throughout the films is great and the film's title song is one of the most memorable songs that can be heard in a film ever. There are topics that are covered in the film that are just as relevant today as they were in the mid 'sixties – courtesy and respect for everyone else in society, aspirations for individuals, and rebellion (but channelled in the right way). I can only guess how a young cinema audience today would view “To Sir With Love” today, but given that I think the film still has relevance today, I would hope they would view it favourably. But for me, dated or not, and even with its imperfections it's still bleedin' brilliant!

Venditore super, veloce ed efficiente. Il film è uno dei miei preferiti di sempre, rivederlo mi ha commosso. Poi Sydney Poitier è un attore immenso.

Una gran película
