Curious about Dead Poets Society. Would you call it a relaxed evening pick or something to save for the right mood?

conor.fitzgerald · 18 Oct 2026, 08:08 UTC

Conor, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

Dead Poets Society is one I am weighing up. This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.

Caoimhe, same question here. A quick note on the pace would help me make up my mind.

For anyone considering Dead Poets Society: Leaving a boost while I decide. The hard bit is narrowing the list down to just one.
