2024-01-12 03:04:17 +0000 UTCAnother good story to go with some music.. The Big Chill .. a good story about a group of friends that come back together because of a friends suicide.

2024-01-12 02:48:14 +0000 UTCYes, PLEASE
Toby Smith
2024-01-10 20:52:19 +0000 UTCThey aren't biopics, but I can't believe you haven't done a Beatles movie yet!!! (A Hard Day's Night first, then Help!) They're very fun!
Tom Ekstrand
2024-01-10 04:02:49 +0000 UTCI think this theme will remain very popular. So many great possibilities.

BRT
2024-01-09 23:19:17 +0000 UTCHow about “ Great balls of Fire” or the Buddy Holly story”
Ed Littner
2024-01-09 10:05:18 +0000 UTCA couple of oldies Gypsy, the story of burlesque dancer Gypsy Rose Lee and Beyond The Sea, the story about Mack the Knife singer Bobby Darin and his relationship with his wife, actress Sandra Dee.

dieselbeast
2024-01-09 00:20:40 +0000 UTCI'm a little disappointed that Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story didn't make the cut. 🤣
Robert Greffey
2024-01-09 00:18:49 +0000 UTCThis is one of the few recent music bio pics I've actually liked, and probably because they took the extra step and made it a genuine musical instead of a docu-drama featuring the music. So agree it has a place here and on the straight musical poll.
Robert Greffey
2024-01-09 00:16:44 +0000 UTCYou guys have got to do Eddie and the Cruisers. You could call it a fictional music biopic. But you've already done "On the Dark Side" on you music channel.
Jason Vulgamore
2024-01-08 22:33:50 +0000 UTCHard Day's Night is missing on this list
JarHead0351
2024-01-08 22:20:06 +0000 UTCThe weakest music biopic on the list is winning the polls, smh. Ray and Coal Miners Daughter should be #1 and #2.
Sylvan Green
2024-01-08 21:54:31 +0000 UTCLove & Mercy (based on the life of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys) is a very good movie, too.
Debra
2024-01-08 21:53:35 +0000 UTCray charles will unfortunately drown in the support for Queen from what I read BR has not aged well since its heyday 4 years ago the editing was choppy and the actor who had played Freddie Mercury has lost support
Karl Kraus
2024-01-08 21:38:09 +0000 UTCAll of them are good. Also "Lady Sings The Blues" starring Diana Ross. "Rocketman" (Elton John bio)
Toby Smith
2024-01-08 21:14:43 +0000 UTCI think Ray should definitely be winning this
Michael Lynch
2024-01-08 21:11:11 +0000 UTCWhat about the doors?
Tom Dean
2024-01-08 20:56:28 +0000 UTCDarn, forgot that one---EXCELLENT movie; and, since Amber is such a huge Janis Joplin fan, they've definitely got to react to it!!
Cat Whisperer
2024-01-08 20:30:58 +0000 UTCI was totally gonna say that---Jennifer Lopez did such a good job!!!
Cat Whisperer
2024-01-08 20:24:30 +0000 UTCOh, my; these polls are very difficult!! For me, it was between "Ray" and "Walk the Line"---I picked WtL!!
Cat Whisperer
2024-01-08 20:19:48 +0000 UTCLa Bamba is a great movie.
Kristin D
2024-01-08 20:17:05 +0000 UTCWalk the Line is the best movie on this list. Joaquin Phoenix is fantastic.
Kristin D
2024-01-08 20:16:45 +0000 UTCI also voted for Bohemian based on your love of Queen, though it's not the best movie on here. La Bamba has always been one of my favorites as well.
Tracy Geier
2024-01-08 19:48:49 +0000 UTCI think Ray might be the best biopic up there, but I voted for Bohemian Rhapsody. As a big Queen fan, I feel it's important to remind you both to take the movie with a big grain of salt. While some of it is true, some things are made up for the purpose of the story in movie format, and I was surprised how some of the events were told out of order. Honestly, as much as I liked the movie, there are stories from the band that were told differently or even left out that would have made the movie better if they told it how it really happened, IMO. Hope you enjoy it, but take it as more of a fairy tale than how things actually happened.
Jon
2024-01-08 19:27:57 +0000 UTCI agree
Patty Estrada
2024-01-08 19:23:19 +0000 UTCI’m surprised What’s Love Got To Do With It wasn’t on here. Angela Bassett did an amazing job as Tina Turner!
Patty Estrada
2024-01-08 19:22:34 +0000 UTCYes, I agree!!
Patty Estrada
2024-01-08 19:21:02 +0000 UTCOh & I'll Do a breakdown like someone else did in the comments of who's story is through what What's Love Got To Do With It- Tina Turner (the role that made Angela a leading actress) Lady Sings The Blues - Billie Holiday (It's not very accurate, Diana don't look like Billie or sound like Billie, and they don't take the story as dark as it is, but all that said it's a really good movie & Diana acts her behind off & deserved that Oscar nomination she got for it) Selena - Selena (the movie that made Jennifer Lopez a leading actress & superstar, very good & simple & sweet) Introducing Dorthy Dandridge- Dorthy Dandridge (Halle Berry's best performance to me to date, and its about Dorthy who was 1 of the very 1st Black Hollywood superstars as a actress & singer, Dorthy was the 1st black woman to be nominated for Best Actress in a leading role, & Halle became the 1st black actress to win in that category but not for this movie) Why Do Fools Fall In Love - Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers, this more so is about the industry in the 50s & 60s & it's REALLY good & funny All star black cast.

2024-01-08 19:12:38 +0000 UTCHard choice, but I went with Bohemian Rhapsody.
Troy
2024-01-08 19:02:12 +0000 UTCRocketman, about Elton John is pretty good. It's sort of a musical (set to his songs), so it would be a good option for the other poll as well.
BRYAN RAINS
2024-01-08 18:56:25 +0000 UTCGreat selection. I honestly had trouble picking since all of these are fantastic. In the end, for me the edge will always go to Freddie Mercury. In future, I suggest: Sweet Dreams (Patsy Cline) La Bamba (Ritchie Valens) The Doors (Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison is beyond perfect)
Sharon Lathan
2024-01-08 18:53:50 +0000 UTCThis is a good poll! All should be watched, but I’m going to pick ‘Walk The Line’ for now because Joaquin Phoenix is one of my favorite actors. Reese Witherspoon as June Carter is good too.
Patty Estrada
2024-01-08 18:51:59 +0000 UTCAll of these are good,I would go with Coal Miner’s Daughter and Walk the Line first. I know it’s not on the list but you should also watch What’s Love Got to do With It
Elizabeth Franco
2024-01-08 18:51:56 +0000 UTCNot arguing for a second that The Rose is a fantastic movie. However, it isn't a biopic of Janis Joplin, but rather very loosely inspired by her life. As such, it doesn't really fit into this category. :-)
Sharon Lathan
2024-01-08 18:51:41 +0000 UTCShould definitely add Selena to the next biopic list, it’s a good one.
Connor Fallon
2024-01-08 18:51:21 +0000 UTCSounds good!
J.Fro90
2024-01-08 18:50:28 +0000 UTCOh gosh I had forgot there was a biopic about her! We will have to do this poll again in the future
Jordan Robinson
2024-01-08 18:49:13 +0000 UTCHaven’t heard of those! We will keep those in mind for the next one now.
Jordan Robinson
2024-01-08 18:48:28 +0000 UTCThat’s a hard choice, I was debating between Bohemian Rhapsody and Walk The Line. Both are tremendously good biopic’s of two great artists.
Jennifer Sanchez
2024-01-08 18:46:58 +0000 UTCCoal Miner’s Daughter ftw! Sissy Spacek followed Loretta Lynn on tour for a whole year so she could study her to prepare for the role. It paid off and earned her an Oscar! Would also have loved to see Sweet Dreams, the story of Patsy Cline, on here too
Casey Salley
2024-01-08 18:46:57 +0000 UTCI'm voting Ray but I wish Whats Love Got To Do With It, Selena, Lady Sings The Blues, Introducing Dorothy Dandridge & Why Do Fools fall in love were options. Angela Bassett was nominated for best Actress for playing Tina Turner in Whats Love & Diana Ross got nominated for best actress for playing Billie Holiday Lady Sings The Blues.
J.Fro90
2024-01-08 18:46:53 +0000 UTCAnother good one would be The Rose.. the story of Janis Joplin
