Teachers (Blu-ray)

Teachers, a satirical, dramatic and often comic look at the life of the modern day teacher, stars Nick Nolte (The Deep) as Alex Jurel, a once idealistic high school teacher now burned out by a system. With a lawsuit filed by an illiterate student, the recipient of a passing grade and diploma, Alex is surprised to learn that the lawyer assigned to handle the case (JoBeth Williams, The Big Chill) turns out to be Alex's former star pupil. Teachers co-stars Judd Hirsch (Ordinary People, TV's "Taxi"), Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid, The Outsiders), Allen Garfield (The Conversation, Beverly Hills Cop), Lee Grant (In The Heat of The Night, Valley of The Dolls), Richard Mulligan (S.O.B., TV's "Soap"), Laura Dern (Blue Velvet, Wild) and Steven Hill (The Firm, TV's "Law & Order").
