It's an extremely well-crafted and smart morality tale. The ruffians aren't fooling around as they abuse, berate, and even burn young Tom, but his actions spark a rebellion resulting in a terrific montage of kids turning the tables on the bullies with orchestrated pranks and attacks. The new headmaster wants to squash it out of his school, but while most kids just go along with it (whether it's happening to them or others) it takes Tom stepping up to bring it all down. So what do you say I share a few with you?įriendship, honor, and respect are the threads running through this classic tale, but all of them are wrapped around a main narrative involving bullying. There are others, though, that while worth your time are far less known for one reason or another despite showing boys and young men we can be proud of. Some of the best-known include Class (1983), Dead Poet's Society (1989) and School Ties (1992), and while one of those is clearly the better film all three are memorable and worth watching (again).

Of course, this being a movie site means I'll be looking exclusively at exclusive schools in movies. In an effort to counter that I'd like to highlight some of the less criminal elements walking the halls of the nation's boys schools. The truth is these schools are usually no better or worse than their public counterparts, but it's always the terrible examples we hear about the loudest. Private schools for boys, usually exclusive and typically religious in some way, have been getting a bad rap in recent months for the miserable behaviors exhibited by their students and graduates. This week we tour some exclusive boys schools that won't leave you cringing at the prospect of cruel cretins crawling out into the world.)
