Was it called "Biography of a Madman"? Anyway...it was about Hitler's rise and fall...and I was flicking through the channels and just stopped and watched in horror till the end. It's said we should know our history or we are doomed to repeat it...so I paid better attention to this bio movie then I did in school.

Raging Bull

"Man On The Moon" on Andy Kaufman. Jim Carrey was incredibly dead on in that movie.

I'm a big fan of "Patton" too Skip.

Kundun (the Dalai Lama).

Gandhi was a favorite of mine. Very nicely done. (Also liked Kundun, BlueSwede)

[scotzoidman]

"Amadeus" has to be my all time favorite biopic...

Also an oldie but goodie is Jimmy Stewart in "The Glenn Miller Story"

Anyone see a theme here in my favs?

After seeing Out of Africa I set about learning more about Baroness Karen Blixen aka Isak Dinesen, a prolific writer. Out of Africa was only one of her novels, which in itself was a loose biography of her exploits during that part of her life.

Hello?...can anyone say Mel Gibson?..LOL Lets see...he told the story of William Wallace in Braveheart, the story of Lt. Col. Hal More in We Were Soldiers...and who can forget the last 12 hours in the life of Christ? The Passion of the Christ. I also liked A Beautiful Mind (John Nash) and October Sky (Homer Hickam).

I forgot about Gandhi, dicksbro; I loved that one, too. :)

Ditto on Patton!

Have you seen Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (bio of a sort?)

Great flick I had to buy it since I knew I would watch it over and over. Oh and I own Patton as well.

"Caligula" and the "Marques Da Sade" .............. wonderfully graphic and endearing.
