Mort Sahl would be really interesting. So many comics owe their life to that guy (even guys like Woody Allen, Lenny Bruce, etc.). He broke down so many barriers as to what comics could joke about, politics being the big one.

I bet a bipoic on the main actor in this biopic would be prety interestng some day....

So many but right off the top of my head: Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Jimmy Stewart, Merle Haggard...

Another Madonna biopic

A Daryl Hall and John Oates biopic-I think Kevin Bacon should play Daryl,as he looks like him,and i think he could play the part,and maybe Robert Downey jr could play John ?.What do you think ?.

reply

Now that I think about I would also like to see a Harold Lloyd biopic made!

reply

The Marx Brothers (They could even break it down into three [or five] movies.)
T.E. Lawrence (Yeah there is Lawrence of Arabia but he did do more than that.)

Those are the only two I can think of right away but I would probably watch just about any Biopic if I liked the person.

Frank Sinatra.

Walt Disney
The Marx Brothers
Abbott and Costello

Fred Astaire has a clause that he can never be potrayed on film. Which is too bad, cause that would be an interseting film.

reply

A proper decent one about Cleopatra, Ahkenaten, Geoffrey Chaucer, a decent one about Nero, Michael Hutchence, AC/DC (a biopic about the band), a decent big screen one about Michael Jackson and David Carradine.

Definition of troll on IMDb - anyone who expresses a view different to mine.

reply

Yeah Michael Jackson too.
