Dead Poets Society, directed by Peter Weir was a movie that resonated with a whole generation of misunderstood teenagers who were trying to find their identity.
The story is set in a strict 1950s prep school. A new English teacher, John Keating (Robin Williams) joins Welton Academy and starts to awaken his class to life through literature with tragic consequences.
The movie won Best Screenplay at the Oscars and the fine acting from the youthful actors - Sean Robert Leonard and Ethan Hawke - has continued to inspire over the last two decades. See clips from the film below.
