Best ever biopics

Tools    





We've gone on holiday by mistake
I thought these crime films from France were excellent:



^ This one is based on the autobiography of Jacques Mesrine.

I was gonna post this too. If you liked Mesrine then try "Stander", same sort of thing.

I have a soft spot for biopics of the criminal sort, especially bank robbers because afterall the Bankers are a bunch of dirty crooks so why should'nt they be robbed. Wish I had the balls!

I've seen it, I don't believe I was that fussed about it to be honest, well not as much as the Mesrine films anyway.



Some interesting choices made so far, but just to mention something that hasn't been mentioned yet, I have to give a shout-out to the TV movie LIFE WITH JUDY GARLAND: ME AND MY SHADOW...astonishing Emmy-winning performance by Judy Davis is worth the price of admission alone.



I'd go with
A beautiful mind
Aviator
Catch me if you can..maybe
