The History Boys
"The History Boys" tells the story of an unruly class of bright, funny history students in pursuit of an undergraduate place at Oxford or Cambridge. Bounced between their maverick English master (Richard Griffiths), a young and shrewd teacher hired to up their test scores (Stephen Campbell Moore), a grossly out-numbered history teacher (Frances de la Tour), and a headmaster obsessed with results (Clive Merrison), the boys attempt to sift through it all to pass the daunting university admissions process. Their journey becomes as much about how education works, as it is about where education leads.

"History..... It's Just One Bloody Thing After Another".
A great, witty coming of age film, concerning a group of well educated classmates, who are being steered towards an Oxford education.

This should be history!!
This is an ok film, pretty hard to get get into at the beginning although the end saved it slightly. This is more of a highbrow film than aything else.
