I dont know about the rest of Gaming. But i sure do love my biopics.
Mixes my two favourite past times of documentary (rockumentary, if you must) and music.
So i thought this thread could be used to post news about any upcoming bipics (e.g.Notorious, Heavier than Heaven) or discuss what was your favourite biopics.
To get the ball rolling, i really loved Walked the Line, wasnt a big Cash fan only knew a few songs but i came to appreciate and admire his music.
Other biopics of note (IMO) are; Control and Ray

'Tis good, but not a patch on the spoof Bad News & More Bad news as done by the Comic Strip.

Their version of Bohemian Rhapsody is just awesome!

I watched Ray again last week and Foxx's performance was stunning, definitely worthy of that Oscar.

I did read somewhere that Eddie Murphy was being lined up to play Richard Prior in a film. Dont know bout music biopics though, 8Mile was like a bit of his life.
