Was it called "Biography of a Madman"? Anyway...it was about Hitler's rise and fall...and I was flicking through the channels and just stopped and watched in horror till the end. It's said we should know our history or we are doomed to repeat it...so I paid better attention to this bio movie then I did in school.

"Man On The Moon" on Andy Kaufman. Jim Carrey was incredibly dead on in that movie.
I'm a big fan of "Patton" too Skip.

The Last Emperor wasn't a bad flick.

After seeing Out of Africa I set about learning more about Baroness Karen Blixen aka Isak Dinesen, a prolific writer. Out of Africa was only one of her novels, which in itself was a loose biography of her exploits during that part of her life.

Hello?...can anyone say Mel Gibson?..LOL Lets see...he told the story of William Wallace in Braveheart, the story of Lt. Col. Hal More in We Were Soldiers...and who can forget the last 12 hours in the life of Christ? The Passion of the Christ. I also liked A Beautiful Mind (John Nash) and October Sky (Homer Hickam).

Ditto on Patton!
Have you seen Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (bio of a sort?)
Great flick I had to buy it since I knew I would watch it over and over. Oh and I own Patton as well.
