1989
Rating - 3 out of 5 stars
I'm usually a sucker for college/school/coming of age stories and especially boarding schools and especially stories with an emphasis on intelligence, learning and culture. So this one seemed tailor-made for me. I did like this one and it had some beautiful campus/woods scenery and shots, but it wasn't quite as wonderful as I was hoping it was going to be (As an aside, there's a smaller, more recent film called The History Boys that's somewhat similar and that I really liked). Still this one was very enjoyable though. Interesting to see a young Ethan Hawke. I'm still considering the rating on this one...at the end of the day it might move up to a 4 out of 5 stars.
