Dead Poets Society

If this movie does not make you want to be a teacher, watch it again. This one is on my Top 10 list, but don't confuse that with my idea of the best movies ever made. This is just one of my favorites to watch.

Just 18 years ago, this movie was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay. Sort of a movie grand slam for you baseball fans. It won for only Best Screenplay however.

Robin Williams was at the height of his career, or at least one of the peaks. I believe his character there to be his most noble to-date. Some of his lines from this movie are now part of pop culture. Carpe Diem?

And if you look closely at the supporting cast (pretty much everyone NOT named Robin Williams) you should recognize a few faces that are now part of today's most popular TV shows and movie.

While the ending may break your heart, it is still a very inspirational movie. There is something in this movie for everyone. See how many of the literary misquotes you can catch?

Watch this movie with someone. Thats it. Don't watch this alone.
