Well, it isn’t really a movie that involves schools but still a marvellous movie to watch with both friends and family.

Starting off with darling little Charlie’s simple dream, the movie soon takes a dark turn that creeps up on you ever so gently.

With Johnny Depp’s brilliant acting and Freddie Highmore’s incredibly sweet portrayal of Charlie, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory will not fail to surprise.

3. Freaky Friday

With the story of a mom and her teenage daughter who have nothing in common, Freaky Friday is an adorable back to school movie.

Beginning like every other high school movie and then taking an unexpected turn, this 2000s classic is one of Lindsay Lohan’s most incredible works.

With Jamie Lee Curtis playing the role of a bold, multitasking mom, this movie takes the wonderful relationship of a mother and a daughter to the next level.

Probably one of the most beautiful and empowering movies for our childhood, Matilda is directed by Danny DeVito and still remains among the best children’s movies of all time.

With simple comedy, charming acting and a sweet but tragic plot, the movie takes you on a roller coaster of emotions.

Empowering little girls to explore the world and believe in themselves, Matilda should certainly be on your back to school movie list this year.

6. School Of Rock

Often regarded as the movie that gave us Jack Black, School of Rock is one of the most epic back-to-school movies the world has ever seen.

For his debut movie, Jack Black plays a small-time rock musician who illegitimately stumbles upon the opportunity to teach maths in a school.

The story takes a turn when he decides to prepare the children to compete in a sensational rock concert in an attempt to increase their love for music.

Filled with humour, charm, love, and most of all, music, School Of Rock is a must-watch for anyone who loves music.

Saving the best for the last the Dead Poets Society is the most critically acclaimed movie on this list.

Regarded as one of Robin Williams’ best works, the movie takes place in a highly disciplined School where an English teacher aims to liberate the students with the beauty of poetry.

Giving us the famous phrase “Carpe Diem,” the movie has strongly affected the lives of many people around the world and continues to do so.
