Hollywood has always loved to make films from biographies of famous people, and since early on : the film generally considered as the first biopic is "Disraeli", released in 1927. Since the beginning of the 80's the movement is however bigger and bigger. To the point that a sous-genre has even emerged : the musical biopic.
With their classical script : rise from poverty, success, excess, fall, death or comeback; musical biopics tend to easily fell in common traps. However, when the director has a real empathy and understanding of the musician, when the script is a little bit more original than usually, some musical biopics are pure masterworks and could be included in Top movie lists, whatever the genre. Moreover, their soundtracks are unbeatable : it is hard to compete with Mozart, Dylan, Charlie Parker or Johnny Cash!
We have created a Top 12 Musical Biopics list on Rankmill.com, from "Amadeus" our number 1 to "The Rose" our number 12. You can, of course, eaisly create your own ranking, add more items, include video, comments and images. And when it is done, why not to share it?
