Troy knows how to ball . Gabriella knows Aristotle .

These days, I am genuinely afraid of little old me, given my tireless routine of eating, breathing, sleeping, and listening toThe Tortured Poets Departmenton repeat. It seems that I am not alone in my insanity given thatTaylor Swift’s latest record has remained the number one album on the Billboard 200 list for the last two weeks.

In the name ofTTPD, I’ve created a finely crafted list of films that, in my opinion, radiate all things tortured poets, typewriters, and wavering sanity.

With that said, this list is curated forSwiftiesand Swifties alone! Non-Swifties wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum that is this album…or this collection of films, for that matter. Let’s begin.
