Brilliant idea! They should film it in 2D so we can see things how he would have seen them.

A biographical film in the vein of Vietnam or the US Civil War TV series but this time for the Spanish Civil War or the Boer War.

Anthony Ashley Cooper, the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury....
Before during and after his life..Eros (The Angel of Christain Charity) in Piccadilly Circus is dedicated to him. 'One of his biographers, Georgina Battiscombe, has claimed that "No man has in fact ever done more to lessen the extent of human misery or to add to the sum total of human happiness". - wiki. Wow, just wow... |

Percy Woodland. If ever a guy qualified for a film of their life, then it`s our Percy.

Keith Richards. You only have to read his biography ‘Life” to know it would make an utterly sublime movie.

My choice is somewhat related to kincem's choice, I would pay good money to see a film biography of a hero of mine who is Sir Henry Cecil.

alex ferguson, lots of books out there
get it made whilst he can help the project the bobby robson film is great, but sadly he never saw it |

By:
tiger woods would be good, but he aint finnished yet, is he!

Noel Gallagher would be good, from council estates to job centre to Dry cleaning/Bakery shop/yard labouring work to rodying to International superstar through pure hard work, lived life to the full and always great for a quote.

All sorts from the Victorian era would be fascinating. Cecil Rhodes, Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle.

By:
Baden-Powell or Kitchener would be good too.

It's mad that there hasn't been a life story film made about the legend that was Eric Brown. His life story is amazing "boys own stuff", why he wasn't more famous I'll never know, if he'd have been american they'd have made a blockbuster for sure.

There would be more "snowflake triggers" from that lineup than a glock factory in winter with the roof off:) |

Or those great chums AllCock & Brown.

Some interesting selections here, however; to be a true blockbuster-type movie it would have to appeal to the Americans too. My own choice (Nelson) has probably been kicked into touch after 'Master and Commander'

JM's selection of Keith Richards (and Jagger) is a given you would think

Think a film of Alan Sugars life would be interesting, his rise from Barrow Boy to international tycoon and TV personality also his time as Spurs chairman and his battles with managers.

Good shout Jack. That would be an interesting watch, especially leading up to Rumours

I'd cast a CGI Walter Matthau as Elzie, with Liam Neeson playing Bill Turner in the fight scenes. |
|
By:
That's a good one screaming from beneaththewaves, I would most definitely watch that.
My choice of Sir Henry Cecil the perfect actor for that would be the absolutely brilliant Michael Sheen. |

By:
Aspro, Just looking at them on Wiki and there is more recent stuff I didn't know about e.g. Buckingham and McVie solo tour.
And, most recently Buckingham leaving and Neil Finn joining - WTF. |

Sadly, once a classic line-up is lost then usually the whole band is lost. I had a major crush on Stevie Nicks back in the day

Re the OP apparently they WERE going to make just such a film about Nelson, but it seems to have sunk without trace? It was announced in 2013 with the title "love and glory".

I know I am going to regret this, terry, but what truth? I think I read a long time ago that the present mccartney is not the real one - did you mean this?
|

By:
Its me who will get the usual flak Annie but yes that's not James Paul McCarntney

Evening, terry
 Not exactly fancied, but he was the definition of a gentleman. You like mysteries, terry, can you tell me for definite who was his second wife's lover? |
