This week sees the release of superb, Palme D'Or-winning French drama The Class.

It’s a study of students from a tough Parisian neighbourhood, with a top teacher who’s played by real-life educator Francois Begaudeau.

Begaudeau wrote a book about his experiences and he and director Laurent Cantet recruited actual students to play the kids in the film.

With that and Hamlet 2 arriving in cinemas, we got to thinking about the best blackboard wranglers out there in movie land.

Some are based in reality. Others are pure fantasy. We want them all in our school right now...

of course my favorite is listed.. yoda..

The Film: Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

The Teacher: Yoda (Frank Oz)

The Subject: Jedi mastery

Best Line: “Do... Or do not. There is no try.”

Why We Wish They'd Taught Us: It’s Yoda – hands down the coolest teacher in the galaxy, even if he is a bit of a muppet at times.

But he can lift an X-Wing fighter from a swamp WITH HIS MIND. Are you seriously telling us you wouldn’t want to learn that?

Midichlorians or no, he rules.
