I find Inspiration in film.

Watching movies often helps me to break free from a rutt. Often this is biographies of people over coming struggles or names who inspire. Other times it is fasinating visuals or keen language. I have thrown together a quick list that may help others of a similar mind. This is by no means complete, but a good fair list of biopics of poets and writers alike, who its based on in brackets, plus some other films that always awaken my mind. They are in no particular order. Feel free to suggest more. Bio films
