Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007), The Aviator (2004), Malcolm X (1992), The Pride of the Yankees (1942), The Jesse Owens Story (1984).

I generally dislike music biopics. I guess I just don't care about the personal lives of musicians, or maybe because I know nothing is gonna happen beyond a hit song or drugs.
