Lean On Me BATHROOM SONG

Great part of this movie

[@Dakidnolo]

The end of the scene is so iconic to me because Mr. Clark cared so much so seeing that show of potential and excellence kind of energized him. When he’s balling his fists up right before he greets Mr. Darnell I imagine him mentally saying to himself “this is why I fight for these kids there’s so much potential, so much hope”. This movie will never ever get old to me.

😢❤

[@memphisblues78]

This is the best scene in the movie. It's a turning point.

[@joshuabrooks4907]

It meant he was actually getting through to them.

[@DiCasaFilm]

Might be one of the greatest scenes in cinema. First the fake out that the kids can sing, then the fake out that Principal Clark is actually impressed and loves it. I mean, just a one-two punch to the feels. Great scene. Great movie.

[@mosesc.]

“Take a bow, Mrs. Powers… you have rewritten our Alma Mater to a superior one.” - Mr. Clark

[@masqueradereader7809]

That loyalty was beautiful. Those boys can sing.

[@CreativeJourneys036]

He ran the child into the door and the piano ...too funny loved this scene.

[@emillyhale7557]

These boys have got amazing singing chops. Even Joe Clark is impressed. 😁

[@hydrangeas_lover]

And still do!

[@tritri0079]

Mr Clark face when they all began to sing "Priceless" lol

[@kennethwood88]

Yep, "You gotta be kidding me! How are these boys doing this?" He's completely confused

He was in a state of shock where he stood. He couldn't believe his ears.

[@1lionmurrill]

This movie, along with Glory, are two of the best movies I've ever watched. I wish the "black" cultre would embrace some of the values that were expressed in these films.

[@Holstways]

Those boys could sing!!!

[@Detroit_Dawg]

When he threw Sams into that piano I lost it! lmao

[@RainbowLuv4Life]

I read comment after comment to see if anyone else noticed that! I had to rewind it time after time. Every time I watch the movie, I look for that part lol

First He slam Sams into the Door, then the Piano fell on the floor rolling.

Yes I cried!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

[@Edmund._.Dantes]

I'm sure Sams came home everyday black and blue... he was always grabbing, throwing, and shoving him into something 😆

[@TheShanny25]

I don't know why but every time i see this scene I cry. To know where those kids were and where they are is a huge transformation .

[@jasonsterling4129]

As he walks down the hallway he's so proud of those boys

[@youngkelz21]

Crazy i knew this school song but never knew my high school song

[@Kobra6510]

I still don't remember my school song

[@jeffreysimmons5645]

They never did this or enforced us to learn our school song when I was in High School. They should have. We needed a Joe Clark.

[@Edmund._.Dantes]

I didn't even know we had a school song 😂

[@burpostockings]

Yeah I dont think we had a school song. We had daily bomb threats though.

[@chrislarry438]

For real bro

[@tootallstud]

This is clearly the defining moment of this movie; the bond was made between Mr. Clark and everyone else. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevenbeoethy872]

I do believe that my favorite part of this scene is him walking through the hallways afterwards, looking happy and singing to himself while all the other people, teachers and students, are wondering what the heck is going on because he's smiling for once!

[@redpyramid9697]

They didn't know that Joe Clark heard him some good singing. That's why he was grinning from ear to ear.

Great part. But I prefer the singing of lean on me in the auditorium..

[@simst100]

we need more principals and teachers like mr.clark. that tough love and he cared todays teachers and principals collect their check and move on they don't care !

[@patrickking554]

it's because of the students they don't care

Joe Clark would be demonized worse than President Trump

[@OffWithReligion]

It’s the blacks that don’t care. At one point they did. But with the welfare system their social responsibility has lessened

Of most of the movies I’ve seen about schools, this one has to be the best of them all. Granted, Mr. Clark was forceful in the beginning, but he came around to be a great principal in the end. I wish that my principal in high school was as great as Mr. Clark was.
