What is Your Favorite Musical Biopic?

Our mission at SAW is to foster conversations about this thing we all love (or love to hate): film/TV. Many of our features are designed with you in mind. Your opinions, to be more to the point. You have ’em. We want to hear ’em.

Question of the Day (QOTD) is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a film/TV-related question that we put to you, the reader. The comments section below is like the feedback box at work; except, in this example, we actually read what you write and care about what you have to say.


There are a lot of movies about musicians.

So, the question I ask today is: What is your favorite musical biopic?


Eminem in 8 Mile (2002). Uhm, I’m not sure if this counts considering that he is playing a fictionalized version of himself rather than somebody playing him, but I’m counting it anyway. What can I say, I don’t make the rules I just think them up and write them down.


So what about you, screenagers? What is your favorite musical biopic?

I’ll see you in the trenches.
