Mr. Holland's Opus (1995-12-29)
Of all the lives he changed, the one that changed the most was his own.
Overview
In 1965, passionate musician Glenn Holland takes a day job as a high school music teacher, convinced it's just a small obstacle on the road to his true calling: writing a historic opus. As the decades roll by with the composition unwritten but generations of students inspired through his teaching, Holland must redefine his life's purpose.
