Mr. Holland’s Opus is one of the best-known teaching movies involving a music instructor. To Sir, With Love, Stand and Deliver, and Remember the Titans are other fine films featuring educators. Also, the elderly man playing Pierre Morhange at the start of The Chorus is Jacques Perrin, the mastermind behind the incredible, Academy Award nominated, French documentary Winged Migration in 2003.
