10 Best Movie Professors in History!

The Top 10 Movie Professors of All Time

College professors will be the first to tell you that their lives are boring. They don’t usually find themselves in critter-infested catacombs, duking it out with rabid Nazis or fighting supernatural beasts. They don’t find themselves becoming the victims of their own research, gaining superhuman powers in the process. They especially don’t find themselves in the arms of beautiful, cosmopolitan women. I mean, let’s face it: these guys make a living teaching half-conscious college kids and either reading others’ research or producing their own. They get more involved with spreadsheets and computer models than they do with any damsels in distress.

But wouldn’t we like to imagine that these intellectual giants, these defenders of the ivory tower of academia, actually get to use their brains to save the world from the bad guys every now and then? Sure, we would. That’s why we have the movies.

As a tribute to these professors we wish we had, we have put together a list of the top 10 movie college professors of all time (Of course, Indy is at the top of the list!):

1. Indiana Jones, The Indiana Jones Quadrilogy

2. Peter Venkman, Ghostbusters I & II

3. Charles Xavier, The X-Men Trilogy

4. Sherman Klump, The Nutty Professor I & II

5. John Nash, A Beautiful Mind

6. Emmett Brown, The Back to the Future Trilogy

7. Mickey Rosa, 21

8. Robert Langdon, The Da Vinci Code

9. Professor Kirke, The Chronicles of Narnia

10. Alan Grant, Jurassic Park I & III
