What are the best educational movies?
Experience may really be the best teacher but movies offer fun and holistic way of learning. A teacher could explain what is, but a film could answer what-ifs. A professor could show you how to do it the right way but movies could prove that you can do things YOUR way. We have always believed that learning isn't confined within the four corners of a classroom. And so here on this page, we are making sure that learning while having fun is absolutely possible! Learn from our list of educational and eye-opening movies that present us the how-tos of life, from doing well in school to choosing your friends, and from learning the sad realities of life to appreciating what you have. This page is dedicated to all teachers, parents, students, and to anyone who believes that we should never stop learning. Start watching today!

The first single-lens camera that got movies started got its patent in 1888? This was by a French inventor named Louis Le Prince. The first moving picture show was a homemade movie done by Max and Emil Skladanowsky. They were the first to make movies for paying audiences throughout Europe. Silent movies ruled the early years of cinema. The most significant early movie is generally regarded German masterpiece “Metropolis.” It released back in 1927 and took several years and the use of special effects on the film. The ability to put sound on the actual movie film got its patent by American Lee De Forest in 1919. Along with the help of inventor Theodore Case, De Forest and debuted and first heard in 1927. The rest, as they say, is history.
Today, movies come in all sorts of formats and resolutions. As well as paired with amazing sound effects and designs. Some of the best movies have also diversified since then and cover many topics and themes. Apart from the usual genres like action, romance, and comedy, there are now plenty of others. There are sports movies, biopics, and even educational movies. One of the most popular types of movies today is superhero movies. We can thank Marvel for bringing our childhood superhero idols to the big screen.

Fast forward, my daughter just turned 8 and I knew it was the time to show her this film. So we watched it together, and good thing she really liked it! She watched it again the second time alone, and perhaps she'll watch it again and again! Maria in the movie is such an inspiration to kids! aside from that fact that she's a good singer, I like her positivity and for me it can be considered as one of those educational movies! 😊"

The Sound of Music - #2October 25, 2019"All the Toy Story movies are the best educational movies in my opinion. I grew up watching Woody and Buzz's friendship, and in the second film, I became so emotional because when I was a kid, I used to throw broken toys. This movie taught me to take care of my toys and ofc, the story of friendship between woody and all other toys are also something you can learn a lesson from. They rescued woody !!! 😁"

Toy Story 2 - #3October 25, 2019"I was looking for educational movies for middle school so I can show it to my students, and while browsing the web, a lot of people claimed that WALL-E is perfect for middle school. I watched it and learned something from it. I think if I show this to my students, they'll be aware of the importance of our planet and maybe it's somehow a life-changing one!"

Anyway, when it comes to movies with moral lesson, this animated Disney is the best because it teaches not just kids but also adults with some life lessons! Just focus on the inspirational lines by Mufasa, they're all great!"

I don't want to spoil! just watch and see for yourself!"
Refering to:
Inside Out - #6October 25, 2019"Well this can somehow be considered as one of the movies about education in terms of psycology, because psychologically speaking, the movie tackles how human behaves and how it can change through time and situation. This is pretty cool to watch if you're into thriller-kind of movies"

The Silence of the Lambs - #7June 27, 2019"A thought-provoking film that takes a look at the education system and everything that is wrong with it. Even the most wayward and misguided of kids deserve a chance at a better life for themselves with the right encouragement and guidance from their adult figures."

Freedom Writers - #8October 25, 2019"Babe is just one of those educational movies for kids that I really love because Babe is sooooo adorable and cute!! It somehow reminds me of the movie Okja by netflix. And Babe has a lesson to learn for kids who watch it just like to learn to be confident!"

Babe - #9June 27, 2019"Having just graduated from university recently, I could not help but relate to this movie on a personal level. The pressures to do well in school, make a name for yourself, and become successful in life are things we all worried about when we were younger."
