Starring Robin Williams in an iconic and inspiring performance, DEAD POETS SOCIETY (1989) was named by the American Film Institute among cinema’s greatest cheers, with the quote from Williams’ John Keating – “Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.” – finding a place on AFI’s list of the art form’s most memorable lines. And yes, eagle-eyed Get the Picture players will have noted the title of the film in today’s image – a clue to help “seize the day” on this Teacher’s Day, as we honor and celebrate those who’ve committed their lives to educating future generations.
