ENTER: Biopics! TV & Media Av contest

[auntiehill]

This week's theme is the Biopic--films, tv shows, mini-series or tv-movies that depict the life of a famous historical figure, a well-known popular figure or is based on a biography or autobiography. For example: All Creatures Great and Small, The Miracle Worker, Patton, Young Mr. Lincoln,Apollo 13 or The King's Speech.

I don't want "actual event" based films, but rather characters who are based on/are depicting people who actually lived. So, "Pearl Harbor" is debatable (to say the least), but I believe the Cuba Gooding Jr character is based on a real man, so an av of him in that scene would be OK.

Standard av rules apply. Poll will go up late Saturday night, US time.

Here's mine:

Ben Kingsley as Gandhi

 

[Admiral Shran]
