I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but...with The Aviator, Ray and De-Lovely(I'm sure others) out this year I was wondering what are some of your favorite biographical movies that you would recommend seeing. And also...the movies you thought were ok but still worth seeing...and bio movies you were disappointed in.
I'll post more later, but for now...
...a new favorite is The Aviator. It was well done all the way around. I loved the acting and the story.
De-Lovely...was really ok, not great. I liked the way it was done in flashbacks and found Mrs. Cole Porter more fasinating than the man himself. Ashley Judd aand Kevin Kline together just didn't spark for me, although I liked them seperately.
A Man Called Peter (1955)...I was dissapointed. I bought it for my husband for christmas and I wanted to like it...but it was very slow and I wasn't wild about Jean Peters as his wife.
So what are some of your favorite biographical movies and would recommend seeing? And, which movies were you disappointed with?
