Dead Poets Society Film Synopsis

For generations, Welton Academy students have been groomed to live lives of conformity and tradition–until new professor John Keating (Robin Williams) inspires them to think for themselves, live life to the fullest and “Carpe Diem.” This unconventional approach awakens the spirits of the students, but draws the wrath of a disapproving faculty when an unexpected tragedy strikes the school. With unforgettable characters and beautiful cinematography, Dead Poets Society will captivate and inspire you time and time again.

Mrs. Doubtfire Film Synopsis

Comedy legend Robin Williams is irresistible as Mrs. Doubtfire, the delightfully doting British housekeeper who’s actually a well-meaning divorced father in disguise trying to spend more quality time with his children without his ex-wife (Sally Field) catching on.
