The only place one will find factual biopics are those done by people
like Ken Burns, or other filmmakers, whose work is often shown on
PBS, The Biography Channel or the like. Hollywood films of anyone's
life story, is sure to be peppered with fiction.. in the mond of
Hollywood, it all makes for more drama, excitement and perceived
interest.

Funny Girl, Love or Leave Me. The Helen Morgan Story and Jolson
Story are all highly enjoyable musical films but I don't know if
I'd call them great "biographies". A lot of those films are
fictional. I also don't know if your question is a fair one: does
the world need more horror films or detective films or sci-fi films
or love stories or porno? The world needs good films, no matter the
genre.

P.S. Add La Bamba to the list.

Subject: [MOPO] What WERE the best film biographies of popular
singers?
All this talk about a Sinatra movie biography got me wondering if
there is really a need for more biographies of great pop singers.
What WERE the best film biographies of popular singers?
