The rest just feel like classic movies :) So Goes my Love is hilarious and a must for any Ameche fan and de Havilland gives a beautiful performance in They Died with Their Boots On. It was aloso the last film she made with Flynn. Hope you get a chance to watch some of them!Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726532398377237606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603100249483133100.post-85596796240332275992016-06-07T14:33:31.836-04:002016-06-07T14:33:31.836-04:00I want to see Pride of the Yankees and The Theory ...I want to see Pride of the Yankees and The Theory of Everything.

Probably a solid sign that biopics aren't usually my thing, although I do like some more modern biopics like "The Aviator," "Cinderella Man," and "The Imitation Game." I may have to find "Houdini" though since he fascinates me.Carissa (Regency Woman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16052175780167961631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603100249483133100.post-48220463035818424242016-06-07T11:09:05.615-04:002016-06-07T11:09:05.615-04:00I love biopics, but oddly enough, I've only se...I love biopics, but oddly enough, I've only seen two of all the films you mentioned: "The Great Ziegfeld" and "The Queen."<br /><br />My favorite biographical films (so far): "The Pride of the Yankees" (1942), "The Stratton Story" (1949), "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967), "Chaplin" (1992), "Schindler's List" (1993), "Remember the Titans" (2000), "Anne Frank: The Whole Story" (2001), "James Dean" (2001), "The Pianist" (2002), "Elvis" (2005), "Lords of Dogtown" (2005), "Walk the Line" (2005), "Hollywoodland" (2006), "Into the Wild" (2007), "La Vie en Rose" (2007), "Zodiac" (2007), "The Red Baron" (2008), "The Social Network" (2010) and "The Theory of Everything" (2014).
