A great movie with an academic theme is "Stand and Deliver", for which Edward James Olmos was nominated for an Oscar. It's about a Hispanic teacher who teaches calculus to Hispanic students despite the obstacles of poverty and prejudice. It is excellent.
An older film "Blackboard Jungle' - the theme was "Rock Around the Clock" in 1955, I think - is also excellent. It's a gritty, black and white film about "hoodlums" in schools. Great actors include Glenn Ford and Richard Kiley.

shattered glass.
This film tells the true story of fraudulent Washington, D.C. journalist Stephen Glass (Christensen), who rose to meteoric heights as a young writer in his 20s, becoming a staff writer at "The New Republic" for three years (1995-1998), where 27 of his 41 published stories were either partially or completely made up. Looking for a short cut to fame, Glass concocted sources, quotes and even entire stories, but his deception did not go unnoticed forever, and eventually, his world came crumbling down...
