Classic must-see movie

Created: 08/07/09
Robin Williams is outstanding in this film about a private secondary boy's school academy. Beautifully filmed and directed, Dead Poets Society is a must-see for anyone who is or has ever been a teacher at any level. Robert Sean Leonard (from the Fox TV series "House") is excellent in a co-starring role when he was quite young.

My favorite movie of all time

Created: 09/08/06
I don't cry very often in movies, but I cry every time near the end of this one. To show what a profound influence literature and free thought can have on young minds is priceless, and to tie in the passion of Thoreau, Whitman, Shakespeare and others makes this movie invaluable. I have seen it close to 50 times, and always feel as if I have just watched it for the first time. Robin Williams is fantastic, and gives what I still consider the best performance of his career. Don't believe what some of the critics say about this movie (the main message of the movie is to think for yourself and be your own person!); watch it with an open mind and you could be changed forever.
