List: Top 3 Movies About Pursuing Music

This week on Episode 443 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by our review of Sian Heder’s CODA, we discussed our favorite movies about pursuing music. If you’ve been listening to the show for awhile, you’ve heard us talk about music movies many a times over the years, but we’re always trying to find new perspectives to talk about when it comes to that particular genre. And while this week’s topic is a bit more specific, it’s one we’ve never done before. The pursuit of music is something all musicians experience, and there are some fantastic movies that examine it directly. So, maybe not the broadest of topics, but a rich one nonetheless. That said, here are our lists:
