Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939)
Wonderful, inspiring movie

What can be said that hasn't been already? Absolutely wonderful performances by Donat and Garson, and a grand and inspiring message to anyone who thinks they've gone as far as they can go in life. I have to say, I lost it when Chips was reading the accounts from the front lines, and mentioned a very important person in his life. The shot of the students questioning his choice afterwards while Chips walks away is a haunting image to me.
Anyone who wishes to be a scholar should see this movie. In an age where film would have us think that you need a baseball bat to get respect in school, this is a refreshing and delightful change.
