MOST MEMORABLE MOVIE COLLEGE PROFESSORS. From TheCollegeFix.com.


Animal House’s Dave Jennings. Smokes grass and has sex with students, discusses Milton’s “Paradise Lost” with the motivation of a Central American sloth, and scares freshmen by informing them that “there’s a distinct possibility” that marijuana will make them “schizo.” One thing we didn’t need to see on Jennings: Donald Sutherland’s naked posterior.

Something you can click, or not, seriously. Readers don't have to do anything they don't want to.

  2. John Houseman as Charles W. Kingsfield Jr. in "The Paper Chase" (1973)

    Jerry Lewis as "The Nutty Professor" (1963)

    Fred MacMurray as "The Absent-Minded Professor" (1961)

    But it is hard to beat Sam Kinison.

  3. Does prep school count? Peter O'Toole as Chippings in "Goodbye Mr. Chips."

    Does TV count? James Stewart in a series late in his life, riding a bike to campus.

  4. If prep school (or much tougher) counts, Sidney Poitier in "To Sir, With Love"

  5. If prep school counts, then of course -- O Captain, my Captain! -- Robin WIlliams' John Keating in Dead Poets Society.

    If we're willing to deviate from film, then the mention of Chippings free-associates to "Chip" in Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections.
