Under the Influence with Morrissey

By: Wynn

You will find here a list of films which Morrissey has expressed some appreciation at some point or other of his life. This information was culled from interviews, tour programmes, Q&A’s, stage banter, concert intermission music, leaked personal letters and many more sources.

In an interview to Face magazine in July 1984 Morrissey said “There’s so much buried in the past to steal from, one’s resources are limitless. I’m not saying everything I write has been written before but most of the way I feel comes from the cinema. I fed myself on films like A Taste Of Honey, The L-Shaped Room.”
