Oh, I too love this topic! Off the top of my head, my favourites of what I call inspirational teacher narratives (and which feature classroom conflict) are Blackboard Jungle (1995) and Dangerous Minds (1995). Depending on how you define conflict, I'd include The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie as well.
cheers
