This week on Episode 338 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Luce, we decided to talk about our Top 3 movies based on a play. As we joked about on show, this option literally had hundreds, if not thousands, of films available for our lists. We sometimes talk about how challenging these lists can be, and this one is particularly difficult because we probably overlooked some great films simply as a result of the list being so long. But we still had a lot of fun with this exercise and we hope our lists don’t disappoint too much. That said, what would be your Top 3?
