    No love for Control and Joy Division? Great list either way, I'll have to catch the few I haven't seen.

    I always have love for both "Control" and "Joy Division." They are mentioned in the list but I had to give the edge to the other 10. Thanks for the comment. What's your favorite musician's biopic?
  • Mark Frost · 10 months ago
    Yeah, noticed that after the comment when I was adding a few of these to my Netflix que. My favorite is by far The Doors; I grew up listening to my mom's oldies tapes and when she finally let me watch the movie, I was blown away. Control is definitely second though, the acting was superb and getting to know the history of Ian and Joy Division was great.

    Does "I'm not There" class as a Bob Dylan biopic, cause thats pretty far up my list.

    You must not be a fan of hip-hop which is why your hating on Notorious. Good list though, I've always been partial to Selena, La Bamabda and Sweet Dreams.

    I wasn't hating on Notorious. I am a fan of Biggie's work. Puff Daddy, however, is one of the biggest biters in the rap game ever.

    I did find "I'm Not There" to be entertaining. It was definitely one I considered.
