One of my all time favorites. What I like the most about the movie is the beautiful friendship between Andy and Red. I am a person that immensely values a great friendship and that is why I like Shawshank Redemption so much.\n\nOther great movies that portray strong friendships are "Stand by Me" and "The Motorcycle Diaries" (or "Diarios de Motocicleta" in its original Spanish.

I love the movie because it just seemed real. It didn't even look like Eminem was acting; it was as if he was going through his regular life and a camera was following him. I like it because he also pioneered the whole singer/rapper-becoming-actor thing. I think he did it best and no one else following him quite measured up.\nThe battles were hot, plot was hot...i just loved it

I really enjoyed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It kind of surprised me, I wasn't expecting it to be that good, but I really liked it. So- I went out and bought it. \nV for Vendetta was also really good. \nLooking forward to Talladega Nights!

I rented it by chance and I thought it was great! Very good! I thought it was going to be another Hollywood action film, but it was not. Pretty violent. Some fucked up characters. etc... (don't want to spoil the film)

It was a well done movie, I thought.  The performances were great.  I liked the circular nature of the narrative.\n\nHowever, it is basically the same statement over and over again, "Everyone's a racist".  That's a statement I find a bit too simplistic.

Wow that was an amazing movie,--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n\n\n\n \nI'm the first to admit that I get a little sappy when writing about Dead Poets Society. I first saw the film during my senior year of high school, and 16 years later it's a movie that is still with me, one that I go back to time and time again.\n\nThere's a little bit of formula at work here: A stuffy rep school, 1950s, a collection of impressionable young boys, and a teacher that will change their lives. But there's something at work that turns what could have been a forgettable, droll piece of saccharine storytelling into a classic. Part of it is Robin Williams as Mr. Keating, a young English teacher that uses poetry to teach them how to "Sieze the day," to suck the marrow out of life, as Thoreau put it.\n\nThe poetry angle is an interested and unexpected one. And writer Tom Schulman and director Peter Weir have no confusion that the idea is a little corny. Putting a kid in front of the class, covering his eyes, and forcing him to free associate until he comes up with a verse about Walt Whitman? Sounds ridiculous, but it works. In fact, it's one of the most powerful scenes in the film.\n\nThat's because the kids in the film are just as good as Williams is here. Robert Sean Leonard is the ostensible star as Neil, a deeply repressed lad who's the class president type yet dreams of doing something artistic, despite the insistence by his father (Kurtwood Smith) that he become a doctor. And then there's roommate Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke), an intensely shy young man who's attending Welton Academy for the first time this year and will be memorably brought out of his shell, fighting all the way, by Keating. The other students of note -- Josh Charles as a lovesick kid and Gale Hansen as the unforgettable rebel "Nuwanda" -- are equally apt.\n\nUltimately the film revolves around Neil's story, when he decides for the first time to defy his father and act in a local play -- as Puck, in A Midsummer Night's Dream, of all things. This leads to a series of catastrophic events that culminates in (spoiler alert from here on out) Neil's suicide and the scapegoating/firing of Keating for it.\n\nAt once uplifting and emotionally crushing, there's no way to leave this movie without wanting to somehow improve your life and follow Keating's advice by seizing the day. Every time I watch the film I'm compelled to complete some lingering project, plan a trip, move into a new house, or do something unforgettable. Weir's direction perfectly captures the 1950s mood -- an era of repression just on the verge of breaking wide open -- and Williams manages to keep his mania in check for the bulk of the film, trotting out an impression here or there when the story requires it.\n\nIn recent years, Dead Poets Society has become a curious platform for deconstruction and revisionism. Viewers wonder, among other things, whether Neil was so troubled because he was secretly gay. Whether Keating might genuinely be guilty of contributing to his death. Whether "Sieze the day" isn't such a great motto after all. I'm not actually supporting any of these ideas per se, but the latter-day ruminating gives the film more weight than you might otherwise think, and it makes the movie all the richer for it. \n\nI Give it 4 out of 5 stars lol

OMG, finally someone else who has seen this movie!! I rented it and then bought the DVD the next day. I have made all my friends at least watch a few scenes.\n\nI LOVE the mix of humor and darkness in the film. Apparently this is a bit of an Irish thing - based on other Irish films I've watched lately.\n\nCillian is SO brilliant. I just can't gush enough about this movie!!

Yes, I've seen this movie. I was pleasantly surprised because this movie was GREAT!!!! My favorite genre of movie is suspenseful/thrillers (psychological) movies, and this movie had the BEST ending, my jaw almost hit the floor!! LOL I would not classify this movie has a horror movie, it's more of a thriller. So for those of you who want to see a scary movie (it had a few scary moments...there were some jumps and screams in the theater) this may not be the movie for you.\n\nI RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE, IT WAS GREAT!!!!

I thought it was an OK movie.  It was cute, humorous, quirky in some parts.  It has a deeper meaning though, in my opinion.\nWe're always trying to fast forward through life, without savoring each moment we DO have with our loved ones.  He was lucky, he got a second chance.....because it was a dream.\nWe don't.  So don't waste your lives focusing & worrying about work, etc!!!  There's SO much more!!!
