List: Top 3 Movie Poets

This week on Episode 207 of the InSession Film Podcast, we finally got to see and review Paterson, a film that gave us a glimpse into the life of a small-town poet in New Jersey. Using that as our inspiration, we decided to discuss our favorite movie poets for our Top 3. This category was particularly challenging for us, since “poets” is a niche subject that we aren’t terribly familiar with. However, it sounded like a fun challenge that we were eager to tackle, especially given our criteria. All in all, we were very happy with our lists the discussion fostered as a result.

On that note, which movie poets would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:

*Keep in mind we have different criteria for our lists as well*

JD

1) Philippe Petit – Man on Wire
2) Hynkel (Dictator of Tomania) / A Jewish Barber – The Great Dictator
3) Jimmy “B-Rabbit” Smith – 8 Mile

Brendan

1) Jim Morrison – The Doors
2) David Foster Wallace – The End of the Tour
3) Guy / Girl – Once

Honorable Mentions (Combined)

Llewyn Davis – Inside Llewyn Davis
John Keating – Dead Poets Society
