The definitive carpe diem movie has Robin Williams playing an eccentric English teacher in a 1950s New England boys school. The feel-good tone of the film transforms when a bold, seize-the-day decision results in an unexpected tragedy.
'We are food for worms, lads, because believe it or not, each and every one of us in this room is going to stop breathing, grow cold, and die...Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys, make your lives extraordinary.'
