While education may seem like a boring concept for some (reading, writing, sitting for hours, and listening to the teacher’s blah blah blah)… this is more than understandable. Nonetheless, if you feel like you wouldn’t mind getting another perspective, these movies will blow your mind. Education can be quite fascinating, or should I say educated people can be. Anyways, to cut a long story short, here are some of the best movies about intelligence and education:
