Mr. Holland’s Opus
Mr. Holland’s Opus is a feature film about a high school music teacher whose dream of becoming a famous composer shifts as he pours his energy into generations of students. Starring Richard Dreyfuss, the movie spans decades of classroom life, highlighting the impact of arts education, budget cuts, and everyday mentoring. Parents use it to spark conversations with older kids about what makes a great teacher and why music programs matter. It’s best for teens due to length and themes, but as a library or streaming rental it’s a powerful, rewatchable look at teaching.
