What's your favourite movie where an actor/actress plays the role of a famous person?

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) - Brad Pitt as Jesse James http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443680/

La Vie en Rose (2007) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450188/ - Marion Cotillard as Edith Piaf.

- Both portrayals are Excellent. I knew who Jesse James was prior but I didn't become familar with Edith Piaf until after watching the film.

BQ2

A 10

BQ3

Invictus

BQ4

Unforgiven

BQ5

He is my favorite current director...although "J Edgar" was a disappointment.

Robert De Niro as Jake La Motta in Raging Bull

that's definitely my favorite based on the performance. I am a huge mafia fan (fan is a weird word for what I'm saying lol). but yeah I have always been thrilled by anything mafia related. read books, watched documentaries, and especially movies. so movies like Goodfellas, Casino, and Donnie Brasco also stand out

BQ- My expectations were through the roof, and I was let down. Nay. Clint hasn't had a great movie since Gran Torino

BQ2- 8

BQ3- I haven't seen Coach Carter since the theaters, like 8 years ago. I remember liking it though

BQ4- Unforgiven is his best. Dirty Harry is a Classic. The other three are underrated, great films.

BQ5- top 20

good Q

Malcolm X is great, I've seen it a few times now. I have to go with Kilmer as Jim Morrison in The Doors.

BQ: Have yet to see it, but want to.

BQ2: Haven't seen it but he is already my favorite black actor

BQ3: *Shrugs*

BQ4: Which of these five Clint Eastwood movies should i watch next?

I say Unforgiven. I have actually seen all 5 of those films and I loved that one the most. Escape from Alcatraz is another really good one.

BQ5: Where would you rank Clint Eastwood on your list of favorite directors? One of my faves for sure.

Warren Beatty as John Dillenger (1973)

Yay

Rate 8

Coach Carter

A perfect world

6

I have a few. My original answer was Pulp Fiction, as Steve Buscemi plays a Buddy Holly impersonator, but that doesn't really count, lol.

So I'll go with Goodfellas. There Will Be Blood and Raging Bull are up there too.

BQ: Nay, but on a side note, I loved Hereafter.

BQ2: 8

BQ3: n/a

BQ4: A Perfect World, one of my favorites of all-time.

BQ5: I don't have a list but I love him.

Walk the Line

BQ nay

BQ2 8

BQ3 Coach Carter

BQ4 A Perfect World. awesome movie

BQ5 Top 10 you should watch Play Misty for Me

Patton- George C Scott

BQ- Yay - Freeman is brilliant as is Eastwood

BQ2- 9/10

BQ3- Invictus

BQ4- Any of them would be a great choice

BQ5- He is number 1

Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Capote. He was amazing.

Invictus, nay. Could been so much better.

Morgan Freeman was great. 9 out of 10.

Invictus

Dirty Harry

He's good but I like him better as an actor.

A biopic I watched fairly recently was pretty great: Bronson, starring Tom Hardy.

BQ: Nay

BQ2: All he really did was do a passable accent. Otherwise he wasn't acting.

BQ3: Neither

BQ4: Unforgiven. The best of the bunch, with Dirty Harry coming in second.

BQ5: Fairly down low. He can't compete with, say, Nolan or Lynch. Or Refn, for that matter.

Bq no. Bq2 7. Bq3 coach Carter. Bq4 all of them. But 1 and 3 are my favs. Bq5 u think he is top 5 I love mystic river and million dollar baby.
