The History Boys (2006)

A group of high-schoolers (or the British equivalent) in Sheffield, England, is trained by a newly-hired teacher for the admission exams to Oxford and Cambridge.

Easy to watch, but not really much more than an exercise in nostalgia and sentimentality. There is no convergence to a theme, several aspects of school life are shown without a sharp focus. It's very much a theater play, and I wouldn't say a very bright or exciting one.
