Dead Poets Society (1989) Peter Weir’s coming of age drama set in 1959 stars Robin Williams, Robert Sean Leonard and Ethan Hawke. A new English teacher, John Keating (Williams), is introduced to an all-boys preparatory school that is known for its ancient traditions and high standards. He uses unorthodox methods to reach out to his students, who face enormous pressures from their parents and the school. With Keating's help, students Neil Perry (Leonard), Todd Anderson (Hawke) and others learn to break out of their shells, pursue their dreams and seize the day. Tom Schulman picked up an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Rated PG: 2 hours 8 minutes.
