Tina turners life story! But then "She is Simply the Best"

Ray as you mentioned! Jamie Fox was superb in that film!

Coalminers Daughter! About Loretta Lynn. Another Artist i adored!

So many more, but the Old head is tired now! Off to my Shower and Beddybys!

Good night now Rebel!

Re: movies about artists

There is a movie called Hendrix.  Basically it was like walk the line only they had little interviews with Wood Harris as Jimi Hendrix.  It was pretty good though I know some people thought it was horrible.

Re: movies about artists

I just saw the Buddy Holly Story and it was ok. Great Balls of Fire is a good movie about Jerry Lee Lewis. My favorite was Walk The Line though. Then theres Some Kind Of Monster which is about Metallica in a documentary of the making of the album that was pretty good if you like Metallica.I can't think of any more i've seen.

Re: movies about artists

How about "Hard Days Night" and "Help" by the Beatles. Very campy but very good.
