    Dead Poets Society

    Synopsis: Robin Williams stars as Mr. Keating, an English teacher at an elite, all-boys' prep school, where the emphasis is on tradition rather than free-thinking. Keating tries -- through exposure to the canon of Western "dead poets" -- to give the future lawyers, bankers, and doctors an appreciation of life, love, and beauty. In the process, however, he arouses the suspicion of the school's administration for his unorthodox methods and chumminess with the starved-for-enlightenment students.
