Best biopic

[blunderbird]

I really enjoy biopics or films based on real life. I loved RBG and Hidden Figures, The BlindSide and some of the climbing ones like free solo. What else would I like?

Walk the line
I saw the light
Judy

Thanks @yoikes . I have seen walk the line but not the others. I'll look them up. I missed Judy in the cinemas but it looked really good

A Man for All Seasons.

Everest - not a biopic but based on a true story.

Shakuntala Devi (recently released free on Amazon Prime) was quite good. Although it took a lot of liberties with her true life story, it conveyed her struggles well against sexism, racism etc.

Green Book

Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman obviously

I should have given a description above--Shakuntala Devi was a world record holder mental maths whiz known as "The Human Calculator".

From Wikipedia:
On 18 June 1980, she demonstrated the multiplication of two 13-digit numbers — 7,686,369,774,870 × 2,465,099,745,779. These numbers were picked at random by the Department of Computing at Imperial College London. She correctly answered 18,947,668,177,995,426,462,773,730 in 28 seconds, which was the time taken by her to speak the answer.This event was recorded in the 1982 Guinness Book of Records.

Kind of a biopic, based on real people and events, and one of the best films I’ve seen -
City of God

A beautiful mind
Milk

City of God - That is one of the best films I’ve ever seen. Totally horrifying yet utterly captivating

The Man who Knew Infinity

The Imitation Game
I Tonya
Behind the Candelabra

The Theory of Everything (Stephen Hawking)
Breathe (really interesting story about a man with polio who invented a mobile respirator)
The Flying Scotsman (about Scottish cyclist Graham Obree who built his own bike to try and beat the hour record)
Eddie the Eagle

Touching the Void

I can't wait to start watching some of these . Thank you
