| | Poetry in Movies |
 | | What follows is a listing of the appearance of recognizable, often canonical, poems, or excerpts from poems, in mainly American and British sound films. |
 | | Movies entirely or mainly in verse, such as Shakespeare's plays and Greek tragedies or Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood (1972) and T. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral (1952), cannot be accommodated in this format. |
 | | The same is true of movies set in modern times that feature a Shakespearean actor, such as To Be or Not To Be (1942, 1983), A Double Life (1947), The Goodbye Girl (1977), The Dresser (1983), and Looking for Richard (1996). |
