A good story line but for parents to know there is nudity in it.

The school leaders are written to stereotypes, and have no flexible thought, but Robin Williams is quite good. It’s a unique premise and a little better than other ‘teacher films’

Another of the collection of 80's films that stands the test of time with flying colours.

Although Robin Williams is the reason for seeing this movie, the story is ludicrous, the "adult" characters could not be more cliché and less than one-dimensional, particularly the bully father who drives his son to suicide. Could it not…

Outstanding story marred by a blu ray that freezes and skips unexpectedly.

THE OBSERVER STOPPED caring about Peter Weir’s Dead Poets Society when the boy committed suicide. Here is a movie in which the central figure, an English teacher portrayed by Robin Williams, admonishes his students to avoid cliché and seek…

This is a must-see film. Whether you like Robin Williams or not, you will love him in this movie. It is one of his best. That being said, the film is really about characters like Todd and Neil, played by Ethan Hawke and Robert Sean…

There is no “villain” in DPS. Preparatory schoolboy Neil loves acting, Charlie wants to have fun, Todd is insecure, Meeks is practical. English teacher Mr.Keating swooshes into these boys’ lives and offers an alternative to the paths…

Worth watching. Some of the dialogue is ironic based on Robin Williams' now known problems.

Clips of this movie were used in a train the trainer class. Great examples of training delivery. Got to watch the whole movie now.

Dead Poets Society is easy my favourite film, the characters are relatable and the performances of emotion and raw feelings, especially coming from teenage boys, which was certainly frowned upon at the time and is only marginally accepted…

Robin Williams is forever a shooting star...

Weird. I was pretty much 100% sure this would be epic based on its reputation and the idea of it, and so I was committed for some time to watching it. I stumbled through maybe 45 minutes of it now and can't even bring myself to want to…

Williams is great, as almost always, but this movie, while it holds up well over time, has never struck me as the classic it is considered by reviewers. Aside from Williams, the rest of the movie is fairly weak.

Really wonderful movie. Robin Williams was wonderful in this and so were all the young teenage boys in his class. The story was interesting, honest and sad.

How many years later and this movie still stands up. A classic I showed my kids.

This was a very good movie that taught how teachers influence students be it for the good or bad and how parents can sometimes expect something from their child that is unjust. As adults we should always remember that every person is an…

Even when he was acting creepy, like in ''One Hour Photo'', Robin Williams could always make me smile, so right now I am going to try and remember that, even though this great talent's life just ended in a way which echoes this films final…

One of the best movies ever:) it really portrays how to deal with life and how to stand up for yourself, an excellent movie that I still think is underrated...

Robin Williams is able to play dramatic parts effectively.
