Dead Poets Society (1989)

A powerful inspirational drama starring Robin Williams as an English poetry teacher, who inspires his students to think "out-of-the-box" and "follow their own instincts." The motto is "CARPE DIAM", meaning "sieze the day". This incidentally reminded me of a simple story from the book "Chicken soup for the soul". A bunch of students form a secret club that becomes a source of inspiration for them, and each of them break out of their own shackles and reinvent themselves.

Replete with verses from great poets, this movie is a real literary treat. A must watch for poetry lovers.
