One more terrific film from a terrific year for movies--1939, the year of Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, and Stagecoach, among others--Sam Wood's Goodbye Mr. Chips is a deeply stirring work starring Robert Donat as the old schoolmaster who looks back upon his life. Told mostly in flashbacks, the film wraps itself around a history of an older England as seen through the generations of boys who pass through Mr. Chips's classroom. Greer Garson is her usual classy, sexy-intelligent self as Donat's wife, their earlier courtship one of the film's highlights. Get out the Kleenex for this one. --Tom Keogh

Goodbye Mr Chips
This is one of those classic movies that leaves you feeling great. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an appreciation of history, love stories, and high ideals.

One of my very favorite movies!!!
There's nothing like a black and white film and a love story that touches your heart! This is about true love and respect that was in a marriage, in days long-gone-by and the value of being a role model to young people.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!
If you've never seen this movie, see it!! Then buy it!! It's an absolutely wonderful movie for all ages. It centers around a teacher and all the years that he spends with his students. It stars Robert Donat who won an Academy Award for this role. He meets the love of his life played by Greer Garson and his shy life changes for the better. I am a movie buff and I especially enjoy movies from the 1930's to 1940's black and white films. Look out for Terry Kilburn's wonderful performance...he appeared as Tiny Tim the year before in "A Christmas Carol". This is one of my favorite movies...the kind they don't make anymore!!P.S. You'll need your tissues handy; it's a tear-jerker!!!
