We just watched an outstanding movie titled [imdb]Finding Forrester[/imdb]. We rated it 5 stars out of 5 stars - an excellent feature. Sean Connery plays a reclusive author that mentors a kid from the Bronx that has exceptional academic writing talent.
That is a tremendous film :-X
There was only one jarring note in it for me, a scene where the young guy is in a cafe with a group of friends (all black). I couldn't understand a word of their conversation! I know they were speaking English, but it was so convoluted with rapid-fire black slang that they might as well have been speaking Swahili ???
But other than that, a great movie. Sean Connery was terrific 8)

:laugh: I know what you mean; it is almost like a different language at times!
I love movies like that and I especially love Sean Connery, no matter what role he plays :)
Some good school/mentor movies :
The Principle with Jim Belushi
Lean on Me with Morgan Freeman
Dead Poets Society with Robin Williams
erm.... cough...Bad Teacher with Cameron Diaz >:D
Edit : tried the IMDB tags, they didnt w@&k correctly on a couple of them.
