7 Best Teachers from the Movies

2. John Keating in “Dead Poets Society” (1989)

In 1959, Welton Academy is a strict, old-fashioned prep school…that is, until English teacher John Keating (Robin Williams) shows up. Keating employs untraditional teaching methods, teaching his students to seize the day and pursue their true passions, rather than adhere to their school’s conservative principles. Keating may not last very long at Welton Academy, but he certainly makes a lifelong impression on his beloved students.
