Might invent time travel tbh.

Educating Rita (1983). An alcoholic professor has been hired by a working-class girl for higher education.
Julie Walters is magical as a working class hairdresser who decides to study literature, and Michael Caine is characteristically watchable as her alcoholic professor, but I don't know! There was something missing for me from this offbeat little drama, and I feel like it never quite delivered on what it wanted to. 6.5/10.
