12. Dead Poets Society (1989)

Directed by Peter Weir, Dead Poets Society, is a coming-of-age drama starring Robin Williams, Ethan Hawke, and others. The movie is set in 1959 and revolves around John Keating (Williams), an English teacher at a boarding school, who uses unique methods to instill a love for poetry and a zest for life in his students. The movie is about looking at life differently, and building individualism, and is an enchanting film. It is more than just a film about education—it's a heartfelt tribute to the power of inspiration and the need for individuality in a world that often seeks to suppress it. This masterpiece by Weir is surely a must-watch.
