Carpe diem, seize the day! You’ll want to stand up and cheer for this inspirational coming-of-age drama about life, art, and the struggle to think for oneself. Set at a prestigious all-male boarding school in 1959, the film stars Robin Williams as an unorthodox English teacher who pushes his students (among them, future stars like Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles) to appreciate poetry and not give in to conformity. The boys soon create their own secret society for reading poems, but their free-thinking ways bring them into conflict with their parents and the school’s stern headmaster. Nominated for four Oscars — and winner for Best Original Screenplay — Dead Poets Society remains a stirring plea to live life to the fullest, no matter what the cost.
