I don't think Jack Black was even acting he just showed up and kinda did his thing.

This movie was Jack Black's masterpiece.

0:00 Sunshine Of Your Love - Cream 0:47 Iron Man - Black Sabbath 1:01 Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple 1:19 Highway To Hell - AC/DC 1:55 Touch Me - The Doors

The part of him just rocking out in front of a group of kids always gets me😂

This whole movie was actually just cameras following around Jack black as he illegally entered a school

Jack Black uses child labor to pay rent, the movie

This movie is so precious. A proper feel good movie that’ll never get old for me. Bless these kids that are grown up by now and their musical chemistry is beautiful. I frickin love this scene

"It's perfect, you are perfect" The smile Zack gives when he feels useful and validated... It's the little details that makes this movie great man

It’s so painful to rewatch all these childhood movies and realise you’re much closer to the age of the teacher than the kids 💀

Don't forget this guy actually makes music. That's why he looks so passionate

The smile Freddy gives when Dewey praises his drumming is so great. Clearly he never thought he was gonna be good at music so was that kid relegated to the triangle in music class, but now he's not only able to play something but receiving praise for doing a good job. love that positive reinforcement Also side not, same thing with Lawrence's smile when jack is singing that he is good at piano

This movie is so sweet natured. Watching those kids light up when he encourages them, just wonderful.

Seeing Jack Black this young and seeing what he's like now, makes me happy that he's never lost touch with his inner self, he's still a kid stuck in a grown man's body.

I whole-heartedly believe that Jack Black’s performance in this movie is one of the best of all time, and that he should’ve been nominated for an academy award.

He’s a fun teacher. Not like any other teachers who think creativity is a waste of time

Man the acting Jack Black Has Done in this movie is totally badass and the passion he shows while playing rock music or the guitar that is just amazing!!!

"Can we tell our parents?" "N O"

“It will test your head, and your mind. And your brain too.”

One underrated thing from this scene is the camera work. The subtle zoom in on Jack after the kid asks "are we not in the band?" Shows without words how much that hit home for his character. This movie truly is an underrated masterpiece and something I go to whenever I need a pick-me-up. Love it.

I just got the chills as it hit me for the first time, School of rock was what inspired me to play music

Imagine what the legal team of this movie had to go through to license all these famous songs, just for 10 second jams each.

"Celllohoo...you've got a bass" 😂

04:15 never fail to make me laugh 🤣

Can't believe Bowser was a music teacher

“Are there any drummers in the house.” *The one boy not sitting in his chair properly*: 🙃

“You mean we’re not in the band? 🥺” breaks my heart every time.

Man he is up there with this performance how in touch with his inner child. Watching this as an adult is quite therapeutic and healing and never got the message as a child but as an Adult it’s whole different meaning. Always follow your passion, never give up even when the world is against you!

You never know what you got until it's gone. I wish I could turn back time to 15 year old me watching this in the cinema for the first time not knowing how much of a masterpiece and prime Jack Black was. The way he moves his body when he starts playing the guitar will FOREVER make me giggle.

RIP Kevin Clark - Freddy the drummer

"Let the fingers do the rocking Keep that G coming all day long" . Nowww i get it

This was my childhood movie and I will never get tired of watching it 😭

“You ever played electric guitar?” “No. My dad won’t let me. He thinks it’s a waste of time. So I stole one & got arrested.”

I wish I had this guy as a guitar teacher when I first started learning in the 80's!

Best scene of the movie for me. The way he pieced up different sounds to form the legendary song smoke on water, just brought up goosebumps.

This will always be one of my favorite movies to ever exist, I just feel like jack black cane in and made these kids feel so safe an comfortable, they just had fun on set and made music, plus It’s was my rerun childhood movie. At 22 I still love tf out of this movie like I did at 10 ❤️

We all want Jack Black as our teacher.

My favorite part of this scene is how he is physically unable to contain his excitement when playing the different guitar riffs or when listening to Zach. Basically how we all feel when we hear something like "Highway to Hell". You just have to let out some grunts or "yes!". Its what rock does to us all.

3:55 that line has stuck with me for almost 20 years now and it never fails to make me laugh

Legend says, Katie is still playing that G note...

i love how Dewey is supposed to be a loser but he knows how to read musical notes and knows how to play every instrument.

I ve just watched this film for the first time. It’s just been screened on regular terrestrial tv in the UK. Brilliant! Couldnt stop watching. I’m 65! Never heard of Jack Black before but he deserved awards for this perfomance!

Bro has all time high charisma and he’s never changed. I love Jack black so much 😂

Jack Black's acting in this is unreal and so underated!

R.I.P Kevin Clark who played Freddy Jones the drummer just died. He was hit by a car.

This movie taught me a life lesson.. I am a sci-fi type of guy, I avoid musical movies, dramas, anything that isn’t stimulating enough for my mind.. that is the number one mistake i have made, watching only the genre that im interested in made it lose its magic and therefore basically life isn’t as enchanting as it was when i was a kid ; when id watch tv channels that broadcasted all genres of shows, movies.. as i grew older I learned to appreciate every genre and have patience, which finally will lead me to come full circle and become enchanted by tv, movies, once again..

When I saw this movie when it came out I started playing drums because of it. Today I am literally doing his Job and pulled the Smoke on the Water thing with my 11 year old band students. Inspiration is everything!

That drummer kid looks legit like Draco Malfoy but he's muggle

Just leaving this here for reference... 0:00 "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream 0:47 "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath 1:01 4:06 "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple 1:18 "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC 1:54 "Touch Me" by The Doors 6:22 "Tomorrow" by Alicia Morton 6:37 "Amazing Grace" by John Newton 6:58 "Memory" by Barbara Streisand

I still remember it was March 2013,I was in grade 8,the day I was going to buy my first guitar,this movie was playing on the television. I'll never forget that. 11 years later here I am thinking the notes and chords they're playing are for amateurs. Came a long way.

As an education major, this movie scene is what made me decide to pursue education and become a teacher.

I love how angry he sounds when he says, “Why didn’t anyone tell me!?”

Just because you're not in the band doesn't mean you're not in the band :)

If we don't get a musical number from Bowser as Jack Black I'm going to be really upset

I still have my Guitar Hero band set from 15yrs ago👍🎸🥁🎶🎤

I would have loved the joke: "I only play piano" "Well, today you play forte"

You can tell how much Jack loves and breathes music. He isn’t even really acting in this scene, love it!

The 'George of the jungle' cracks me up every single time no matter how many times I watch it. 🤣

I watched this movie again tonight and am reminded how "similar" the music & arrangement was to "drum circles" i put on & facilitate. I go into schools, companies, organizations, after-school programs & outreach with as many as 80-100 of my percussion instruments. I often work with people who've never played musical instruments before. And it poses unique challenges when people have neither played, nor have much music aptitude. Fortunately for this movie, they had months to screen, cast, and teach these kids to play these parts. Compare that to my going into a school with an assortment of percussion instruments, and within 30-60 minutes, I've got kids rocking out. Age can make a big difference too, for when kids reach 14, 15, and 16 they’ve often had some music exposure & developed some skills.

Man, this came out in 2003, I was a little kid, we are getting old guys...

Freddy Jones himself unfortunately passed away today after a car accident. May he rest in piece with the rock gods.

Icarly: i thought you didn't believe in grades Jack: i was testing you and you passed, 4 and a half stars for you Icarly: 😌

This scene never gets old! 😅

Imagine telling someone that this man plays Minecraft with Pewdiepie in 2019.

the teacher kinda looks like Jack Black

The greatest scene in the history of film

Can watch this movie over and over it never gets old

1 sunshine of your love- cream 2 iron man- black sabbath 3 smoke on the water- deep purple 4 highway to hell- acdc 5 touch me- the doors

In the next class room, the music teacher from "Whiplash" is yelling at his students.

this scene is gold, and even the movie is a masterpiece.

By far one of my favorite movies. Masterpiece

This movie never dies. I can watch this over and over again.

This movie was written especially for Jack.

what a fabulous movie, always loved Jack Black... his performance is fantastic, and so so funny.. and so musically talented .... this applies to ALL ages watching this, Music is everything x

How Jack moves when he's playing the guitar is so hilarious, gets me every time. 4:15

Jack Black would unironically make a great music teacher irl

Jack Black was born for this role. None could have put that amount passion and enthusiasm like he did. Needless to say je produced music andoves rock.

Great job Thomas Jacob Black,, you’re a natural!! My daughter and her class just performed this musical last week, it was awesome!!

I generally loved this movie full on full, Jack Black is one of my favourite actors, and I loved all the children as they had great character development, Tomika and Jack Blacks had a great relationship and the ‘body positivity’ chat really struck me, I loved the summer comedy, of her being a goodie tooshie, but also being confident was fun to watch, the ‘loser kid’ was also awesome, and there’s a ton more I loved, definitely a fun movie to watch when it’s the school weekend to pump you up for school.

Po the Panda teaching Margo, Sidetable Drawer, and everybody else to rock and roll 😂😂

The only unrealistic thing is they knew exactly who he was pointing to every time

"It will test your head, your mind *and your brain"* best movie line ever.

Its been 20 years, yes i feel old. Brought back some wonderful memories.

“A waste of……..” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Priceless

"It will test your head, and your mind, and your brain, too." What a poet

It's clever how Dewey is talking to them in such a delicate and non-pressuring way during this scene, knowing full well that his idea could well just be a flash in the pan pipe dream.

I'm a classroom music teacher in high school - i promise you this watching this is the best CPD I have ever had in over 20 years teaching!

I love this scene so much. I got the DVD back in the day. I watched this movie so many times. The "come on come on now touch me babe farah farah" part always made me laugh. 😂

You tip it on the side and cello! It's a bass! Best quote ever😂

Jack Black is a complete freaking NUT in this scene....and I LOVE it!!!!!

I need to rewatch this gem

Absolutely one of my favorite movie scenes!!!

”oh that’s bad, that’s like the george of the jungle”

This is my favorite scene in the movie. Jack Black's charisma and chemistry with these kids just eats up the moment. He feels so genuine and his passion for music is his best possible vehicle for a movie. I get goosebumps (no pun intended) when the little kid asks "You mean we're not in the band?" and Jack hesitates with "Now hold up now..." This movie was a perfect little storm.

Seriously one of the greatest movies of all time. Haven’t even seen it in 5+ years but I still quote it weekly

I love this scene so much

He protecc He attacc _But most importantly_ *He Jack Blacc*

Those kids deserve Oscar awards for not falling over in tears laughing out loud at Jack's antics.

I thought a movie called Mechanics School featuring an experience professional mechanic teaching not only high school mechanics, but also car and car parts restoration. He or she is a loyal, honest, reasonable and truthful mechanic making sure all spark plugs, pistons and piston rings replaced from any car and truck engine.

I think the best thing about the character of Jack Black is that he really believes in his students and that although technically, for the first part of the movie, he "uses" them, he never stops believing in them and in their abilities, just as he would with a real band; It’s something all professors should have, no matter what they teach.

This movie could not exist without Jack Black.
