...and a couple of films that didn’t make the list of choices:
Stand and Deliver (I taught HS for 30 years, coached baseball — so this film was stellar to me; still is)
Midnight Run (A couple of pissants for stars; but it has scenes in Salt River Canyon, which is not far from me)
Yasss! Stand and Deliver was excellent!! I love the school movies like Stand and Deliver, Lean on Me and Dangerous Minds. (20+ years as a special educator and still going strong.)
