In this article 26 motion pictures (distributed widely in the USA over the past 60 years) are analysed to construct a theory of curriculum in the movies. Hollywood's ‘ideal’ teachers are defined as those who share a set of character traits found consistently in these films, traits that cut across traditional film genres and remain intact throughout the eras studied. Those ‘good’ teachers in the movies also operate from a distinctive curricular approach identified as ‘broadly aesthetic‐ethical‐political’, a term explored in the context of Huebner's five value frameworks of curricular thought
