School of Rock (2003)
This one is kind of self-explanatory – it is literally an education in rock music, taught by the irrepressible Jack Black, which showcases a story that is funny, inspiring and well, awesome. The soundtrack includes classic rock anthems from legendary artists such as AC/DC, The Who, The Ramones, Stevie Nicks and Led Zeppelin (which in itself is impressive, given the band’s aversion to allowing their music to be used for commercial purposes).
The most endearing track from the film however, is ‘Teacher’s Pet’ – written (in the film at least) by one of the students, and performed by The School of Rock in the crowd-pleasing Battle of the Bands finale. It’s prolific in the fact that it shows how inspiring music can be and how with a pinch of rock, a dash of roll and a whole lot of courage, anyone can ‘stick it to the man’ and find their own way.
