25 best school movies ever

Dead Poets Society (1989)

Robin Williams plays John Keating, an English Teacher at a boys' school whose unorthodox methods include ditching the classroom to seize the day and jumping on top of desks to see the world from a different point of view.

Things go pear-shaped however when the boys get in trouble for resurrecting a secret poetry club. Still, all we ever did was copy off the whiteboard – so fair play to you, Mr Williams.
