“To quote from Whitman, “O me! O life of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?” Answer.

What will your verse be?” ‘Dead Poets Society’ is one timeless gem. Exploring similar themes, here is the list of 12 movies similar to Dead Poets Society you will love.
