What biographical film would you like to see made?

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.

Dr Crippen (the forum one).

Lord Byron.

Jack Johnson the boxer. Stallone supposedly going to make one

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.

Lester Piggott.

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

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.

Baden-Powell or Kitchener would be good too.

Kevin Fulton

check out his book then get back to me

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.

"All sorts from the Victorian era would be fascinating. Cecil Rhodes, Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle ... Baden-Powell or Kitchener would be good too. "
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

Christy Canyon
Mark Twain
Methuselah

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.

Lee Brilleaux

Les Dennis
Victoria Beckham
Jean-Paul Sartre

Fleetwood Mac

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

David Elsworth.

I'd cast a CGI Walter Matthau as Elzie, with Liam Neeson playing Bill Turner in the fight scenes.

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.

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".

Mohammed the TRUTH

Sir Henry Cecil

Sir Paul McCartney, they say the truth will out when he dies,i doubt it.

Evening Annie,you fancied Henry I take it

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?

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?

So what happened with mccartney then - maybe do another thread?

Alice gazes into the looking glass, then steps right into wackadoodle land!

Not on here Annie lol, Best to do your own reseach if you really want,but he was either murdered of died in a car crash on (what for it) 9/11/66.

Not Checking  is the worst of the lot so forget whatever the know nothing says, lots on the internet,best to check it out yourself. I"m a big fan and thought it was rubbish but the more I looked into it,the more I realized this guy wasn't the original. There is an American guy on youtube who tells the full story and how William Sheppard managed to fill Pauls place and get away with it with the help of the other Beatles. Pointless me tryiny to explain,people have to watch.

Judy Garland up next with Renee Zellweger in the lead. Due out in Autumn.

Shame... hopefully it will come up again soon.

It's a little known fact that in the time of Nelson, the Royal Navy was mostly crews of Hobbits. At least that's the conclusion I came to when walking around like quasimodo inside HMS Victory and STILL banging my head every 10 freaking seconds!
