As a poet and fan of poetry, I've always been interested and collect(on DVD) movies regarding poets/poetry(even in the broad sense of the term).I am curious if anyone can list any other movies on this subject besides the ones I've listed below(I know there are more, but these were the only ones to come to my mind at the moment) and other members thoughts/comments on these films: |

Can't believe I forgot about DEAD POET'S SOCIETY, also one of my favorites. |

I checked out the info on BLUE CAR(at Internet Movie Data Base) and it does appear to be an interesting movie, I will definitely be checking it out.Meanwhile, came up with some other poetry related films: |

Okay, so who wants to help me write a screenplay for a Poe biography/movie? |

Thanks for the Poe information, however upon checking into the movies listed at that link, most were not on the man but on his stories.Or were TV movies.The couple that were based on his life were both rated as poor(the latest being a 1942 biopic) and none are to be found on dvd. |

'The Rose That Grew From Concrete' was a really great piece of work by Tupac. He has a lot of good songs out there but what he did with this just blew me away. |

Recently rewatching an older movie-AMERICAN POP by Ralph Bakshi-animated, there is a scene where an animated Allen Ginsberg reads part of 'HOWL'. Also the new release of Apocalypse Now has an extra of Marlon Brando reading an entire T.S. Elliot poem.Both are worth checking out. |
