It’s back-to-school time, even for Chicago Public School students. What better way to celebrate than sitting back — perhaps with a gargantuan tub of popcorn — and taking in the best ever school-related movies?
The guidelines are simple: School — any kind of school — is central to all these films’ plots. “Kindergarten Cop” would qualify, if it weren’t a horrible movie, because it involves Arnold Schwarzenegger yelling “It’s not a tumor!” at kindergarteners. “Rudy,” however, is out because it’s basically a sports movie that happens to take place at Notre Dame.
