Honestly can't think of one
But he does deserve a proper, fact based biopic...it might be like a horror movie though, he was very tough on the Tainos he captured

Life in general was brutal back then, the tribes themselves were brutal. Would be nice to see a balanced film about him though.

The natives certainly made war against each other prior to contact

I'd love a well directed picture about Columbus

It would be tough to do one today. No one would be happy with it,

It would require a large budget, an awesome director and a bigshot team of producers!

Christopher Columbus (1949) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041247/

No idea or not if it is the best but it's an older film so you won't get the biased PC nuttery of films like 1492 with Gerard Depeardieu.
