Official Biopic on Blu-ray Thread

[MifuneFan]

I like the occasional biopic, so I figured I'd create a centralized thread to help people find all the ones available on Blu-ray. This is obviously a work in progress, as there are several of them out there. I greatly appreciate everyone making suggestions! For right now, this list will focus on just N.A. releases, but I will list the occasional international title if it's the only one available.

I figure the best way to format this is the list the name of the person(s) and then list all the biopics about them to the right of it. I'm open to other formatting ideas though.

I'm not sure if Ben-Hur and 10 commandments (or Troy) could be considered as biopic films!
I think biopic is about persons that are historically confirmed to have lived!


Also, i'm not sure if the original poster is interested in partly-imaginary biopics.
If yes then I would add Amadeus and Immortal beloved.

Nixon. Not sure how accurate it might be, but it's entertaining.

Nice thread idea! Here is a full list.

How "in-depth" does the biopic need to be for inclusion? I'm just asking because The Wind and the Lion contains some key events in the presidency of Teddy Roosevelt for example, but it's not really "about" him.
