6. Dead Poets Society (1989)
May he rest in peace, Dead Poets Society stars the late Robin Williams in one of his best films as a teacher in a private school. Carpe diem, Williams tells his students, seize the day.
7. Fame (1980)
Loosely based on life at the New York High School of Performing Arts, Fame is one of the best high school movies that follows students through the rigors of performance and high school. Look for lots of soul-searching duets and lunchroom dance performances.
