“To Sir With Love” was released in 1967, so I was young when I first watched it. I had such a crush on Sidney Poitier!

"To Sir With Love" was really good. My favorite also from 1967 was "In the Heat of the Night" ...... "They call me MR. Tibbs" was a classic line and it had one of the best theme songs ever.
