Films: Recommend a Biography

[Cyc]

I was somewhat inspired tonight after watching a great HBO Biography called Temple Grandin

I was surfing through my HBO On-Demand selections and selected it on a whim. I was very surprised at how well done the movie was.

So with that plug, I thought I'd solicit some more biographies from other BLers.

I thought the John Adams mini-series was great.

One of my favorites was My Left Foot. I'm actually waiting for Temple Grandin to come in the mail, I hope it's as good as you say!

Control. It's an Ian Curtis (from Joy Division) film. I was never the biggest fan of Joy Division (they're alight though), but it's still a really good film.

Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll -About Ian Dury the writer of 'Hit me with your Rhythm Stick'

Great film.

^Agreed Feste, Control's a good show...it seems that most films with Samantha Morton in them are always interesting! She's a picky Gal with her Film's!

Ya, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll was fantastic, acting and everything else was superb-loved it!:D

Can't forget The Devil and Daniel Johnston.
